THEATERS
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE
THIS PLACE-LADIES?

The beliefs and practices of the
East Indian Yogi's will play their
part in the program of the Bijou the
atre Tuesday to Saturday during the
engagement of Murdoch, billed as
the white Mahatma." There is no
question as to his wonderful power
as mental marvel and at each per-
Torrance he will give many demon
strations of physchic phenomena
that battles even the most learned
scientists and professors.
But-imagine being the wife of this
man.
How many women in this city would
want to be the wife of a man who
could, at his will, gaze into his crys-
tai and not only tell where you were
and what you were doing, but what
you were actually thinking about.
Yet Murdoch is married to very
charming little lady and they are
very happy together, too. Perhaps
the reason is that she, too, is q stu
dent of Hindu Yogi philosophy and
occult science, and she understands
the fundamentals of success and hap
piness as only the Yogis can. There
fore she thinks only of things that
are good and that make TO rhappiness
and success, so she should worry if
her mind is as an open book to her
husband.
When interviewed in Denver by q
newspaper man, Murdoch himself told
his interviewer that within another
year, Mrs. Murdoch WOULD be cap
able of doing all the mental expert
ments that he is performing. As
a matter of fact, she has mastered
several of the most intricate "con-
nections" since that time, and though
she spends practically all Of her leis-
ure time in the study of Yogi phil
osophy, she has not yet accomplish
ed the many intricacies Of successful
crystal gazing. She has, however,
become master of her own mind and
as a result she never loses her tenn
per, she doesn't permit little annoy
ances to peave her, and she thinks
only of htings that are good and BEN
efcial to her well-being and happi-
ness.
When you have. accomplished this
girls of Aberdeen, then it will be
safe to marry Yogi Philosopher and
mental scientist.
Murdoch, his charming wife and
their company will be at the Bijou
theatre next week, with special mat
inee for ladies only Friday afternoon.

SCREENS STAR WHIM
MEANS NEW VEHICLE

Mary Philbin's greatest ambition
to date in her motion picture career
Is to be realized. Just how soon re-
mains to be determined, but if pres
ent plans of executives at Universal
City are followed it probably will be
early in 1925.
It was while Miss Philbin was work
ing in her latest starring vehicle,
Fifth Avenue Models" Universal
Jewel coming to the Weir theatre
Monday, that julius Bernheim, gen.
eral manager of Universal Pictures
Corporations West Coast studios at
Universal City, become aware of this
ambition and the earnestness of the
little star.
The ambition in question is to
play the rather sad part of the prin-
cipal character in "Follies Farine, y
one of Ouida's widely read novels.
This famous French woman's literary
works have furnished several sensa-
tional picture plays, as well as some
for the speaking stage Among them
are "Under Two Flags" and "The
Dog of Flanders"
Five times Miss Philbin has read
"FolIies Farine," the fifth time be-
tween scenes in Fifth Avenue Mod
els" and it was time that Bernheim,
became aware of her ambition, for he
saw her reading the book, noted the
intenseness of her interest and ques-
toned her as to the reason.
II know Of no story that believe
/ could do greater work in," said Miss
PhiIbin. ut is a powerful narrative
of girl who sacrifices all for man
who thinks nothing whatever of her,
She guides him to the height of fame
and power, but sinks back to the gut
ter herself in the accomplishment
AS a result Of her earnestness, II
seems for a certainty that it will be
one of her forthcoming roles.

CHILDREN WHO WORK
DEVELOP DEFECTS MADE
WORSE BY EMPLOYMENT

NEW YORK CITY, April, e.
Children who work have many physi-
cal defects, some aggravated by their
employment, is the conclusion of
report recently made public by State
Industrial Commissioner Hamilton.
In spite of this handicap nearly
one-eighth of the children from Ia
to 16 who work go to school at night
to study elementary and practical
subjects to overcome their disadvan-
tage.
One child out of every four who
works comes from a home where one
or both parents are dead. Almost
half work because money is needed
at home. A large group works be-
cause of dissatisfaction with school as
now conducted.
Wages conferred at about $12 a
week and only per cent received
less than $40. One-third of the boys
were on their feet all day and one
quarter of the girls had to sit all day
at their tasks.
It was on the health side that the
report showed unfavorably. Almost
one-fifth of the children had bad
eyes, one-third had bad teeth, one
eighth enlarged tonsils, per cent
had heart affections, only per cent
tuberculosis, per cent lung abnor-
mality.
More were found overweight than
underweight. Half of the children
with fiat feet had to be on their feet
all day, aggravating the complaint;
many of those with weak eyes were
straining them at difficult tasks; one
half the children with bad hearts were
subjected to excessive nerve strain.
at is a serious finding that chill
dren under 16 begin their industrial
career with uncorrected physical de-
fects," Mr.. Hamilton said in COM
ment. at is of even greater signif-
canoe to learn that half are being ac-
centuated and made worse by the re-
quirements of their jobs"
State and social agencies are CO.
operating to aid these children.

BARS HANDY
DIVORCE
Denies Decree to Wife Whose
Mate Wanted to We'd
Second Woman
BY international News Service.

LONDON, July 21.-Should a
wife be allowed to divorce her hus-
band for the mere fact that the
husband wishes to marry another
woman?
Should the courts be used to en-
able a man to break one matri-
monial obligation in order that he
can enter into another?
These two questions have been
answered by the British divorce
court with a strong negative.
This was the story: Mrs. Alice
Lucy Buszard. of London, petitioned
the court for the dissolution of her
marriage with Roland Buszard, al
legings misconduct. She complained
about his conduct with another
woman in October, 1923.
And the husband wrote her, at
that time, this letter:
''I am going to ask you to keep
your word. 1 am going to appeal
to your womanhood and sense of
fairness.
"a few years ago, in one of your
letters to me, you said, il possible,
you would divorce me, for my sake.
cat the time 1t was impossible,
but now the law lis altered. and to
prove misconduct only win give
you your freedom
ssThis looks very much like col.

relief to innocent persons who have
been wronged by marital offence.
hut not to make it easier for those
who have broken one matrimonial
bond to enter into another"
Noel Middleton. the wife's lawyer,
argued that the whole question was
whether there was an agreement
between the husband and wife. II
the wife had changed her mind be-
cause OF the entreaties Of thet hus-
band, he continued, that was not
evidence of collision to obtain a
divorce.
IT really did not want to divorce
him. only changed my mind so
that he could marry the other
girl" said Mrs. Buszard on the
stand.
Are you particularly anxious, :
asked the Judge. that your hus-
band should marry someone else,
or did he persuade you to DO TT"
"Well, he keeps on worrying me
to divorce him." returned Mrs.
Buszard.
Whereupon the Judge dismissed
the petition for divorce both on the
grounds of collision and public
policy and laid it down clearly that
in England an erring spouse can.
not persuade his partner to agree
to a divorce merely because he is
anxious to marry another woman.
