table in two other respects. The first
Of these was the passing of President
Coolidge ''over the top" He has now
Attained the position where there can
no longer be any mathematical doubt
of his nomination. There hasn't been
much doubt at any time since about
two weeks after the Coolidges entered
the White House, but it was not until
this week that the delegates actually
were elected.
The second event was the sudden
death of Charles Murphy, leader Of
Tammany Hall. Mr.. Murphy's death
was of nationwide significance be-
cause of the effect it may have upon
the aspirations of Governor Al Smith
to be the Democratic presidential NOM
inee. Charley Murphy was the power
behind the Smith throne. Murphy's
influence was both coveted and feared
at any Democratic national co ven
ton, but it was expected to be practi-
cally potent in convention held in
his own home town-and with home
town hoy" in the running for the
presidency.
Depressing for Smith.
The death of Mr.. Murphy is bound
to have a depressing effect in the
Smith camp. The opposite naturally
is true among the McAdoo following.
Charley Murphy was an implacable
foe of McAdoo. 1t has been reported
time and time again that Mr.. McAdoo
left New York and moved to Cali
fornia to get away from the adverse
influence of Murphy. He knew he
could not be New York's ''favorite
son" for any high office so long as
Murphy held reins of Tammany Hall.
There is not likely to be much weak
ening in the Tammany organization
itself toward Mr.. McAdoo, but the
Murphy influence upstate" is going,
and his successor at the Fourteenth
street wigwam may not be able to re-
establish it.
The Murphy -Taggart- Brennan COM
bination, an all-powerful trio, is brok.
en-, but Mr.. McAdoo still must over
come the opposition of the Taggart
and Brennan end of it as we'll as the
lingering Murphy spirit in Tammany.
But in any event the McAdoo cam
paign, the only national one that is
being waged by a Democratic aspirant.
has been given a great new impetus
by the passing of Charley Murphy be-
cause the McAdoo managers believe
the Smith boom has been lamentably
weakened by the death of his foremost
and strongest supporter.

conscientious. hard work.

years of constant work in the stu
dios; Barbara La Marr, Colleen Moore

their Willingness TO stand the hard
knocks, work increasingly and ignore
the element OF luck.

Successful in this, she went after big
