THE MARRIAGE CIRCLE"
AT RYLANDER TODAY

In 'The Marriage Circle" Ernst
Iubitsch, the famous motion pic
ture producer, is said TO have reyo-
liutonized his own art. Che picture
has a modern setting and does not
call for the usual massive sets and
mob scenes for which the great Luz
bitsch is noted.
This Warner Brothers classic
of the screen comes to the Ryan
der Theater on Today and Thurs.
day, showing as the feature attrau-
ton. The brilliant galaxy of play
ers consists Of florence Vidor,
Monte Blue, Marie Provost, Adolphe
Eenjou, Harry Myers and Creigk-
ton Hale.
Lubitsch is noted for such out.
standing pictorial productions as
Passion and 'Rosita." He is I'M
cannily deft, stripping the drama
spare till its very life-essence is
unfolded and the unnecessary elim-
mated.
His master hands deity wea tps
the delicate skein of the involved
relationship of these five charact-
ors into an intricate web. With re.
lentless analysis, with subtle humor
and with a general outlook on life
as different from the accepted star
dard as it is intriguing, he gives an
intimate and true representation OF
contemporary life.
The result, in "The Marriage Cir
cle, = is q photopplay Of magic-hold-
powers, with the property Of enter
tanning Che audience from the ycrg
beginning to the last fadaout.

Woman COP. Official
To Seek Place In

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 6.
"A desire to represent her
home district in Congress and
there fight for the furtherance
Of the rights of women, was re-
sponsible for the retirement Of
Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, of
Warren, Ohio, as vice chairman
of the national committee, it
was revealed today when Mrs.
Upton stated she would oppose
Congressman John G. Cooper,
of Youngstown, for the Repub-
lican nomination in the rock
ribbed Nineteenth district.
"I'm primarily a woman's
woman" Mrs. Upton said, in
revealing her ambition. "When

any satisfactory progress, has been
a serious blow to farm organiza-
tons in this territory. The farm
bureau is practically dead in both
Nebraska and Kansas. It has lost
ground in the Dakotas and Iowa.
1t never had an organization in
Oklahoma and only a, small one In
Missouri. But with q real issue
to rally round-a real fight ahead

most over night. The machinery
is all there. The methods are well
known. What is needed Is the
spark of fire to set off the flame.
Many here believe that the present
situation growing out Of Congress-

insult-will furnish that spark.
One thing is certain, any candi-

to declare himself in favor of a

Naming MondelI "JOlxe."
Folks out here get a good laugh
out Of the idea of appointing Frank
Mondell chairman Of the Republican
convention, as a means Of carrying
favor with the western farm vote.
Even the Republican newspapers
west of Chicago, make no Dretense
that Mr.. Mondell is any friend Of
the farmer. Westerners rather en-

OF the party who apparently thought
they were putting across a clever
trick by placing man from Wyom-

body, the War Finance Corporation,
in charge Of the big Cleveland meet

Monden for what he is, namely a
standpat reactionary, are rernarking
that in view Of the way the Cleve-

have taken sporting chance and

BERLIN, June 6.-Acceptance Of
the Dawes reparation plan means
not only the salvation Of Germany
but relaxation OF political tension
throughout the world. Foreign
Secretary Gustav Stresemann told
the Reichstag in a ringing speech
today.
In urging acceptance of the
Dawes plan Stresemann declared it
would save the Rhineland from
anarchy and chaos"
The Dawes report is an epoch
making document in world history
and the history Of economies" said
the Foreign Secretary. '"The Dawes
plan will shift the reparations ques-
ton from an atmosphere Of brutal
force towards an atmosphere of
economic reasoning by Equals. It
Is q downright condemnation of the

that Germany is unwilling to nay.

Stresemann Praises u. 8.
Stresemann praised, the attitude
of the United States, saying:
1T is foolish to assume that
America takes a selfish interest in
German acceptance. The United
States Is far too rich to stoop to
such a policy.
Germany must face the hard
facts and realize that she lost the
war which rendered her defence.
less. 1t is foolish to believe that
England will allow a breach to de-
velop between herself and France
for the sake of helping Germany
to cancel the Versailles treaty"
Stresemann appealed to France
to show good will in the forthcom.
ing negotiations over the Dawes
plan.
Germany is ready to fulfill her
obligations under the Dawes plan
on condition the Allies unanimously
accept the plan in its original
FORM" he added.

Keen resentment at the defeat of
