There was still another thing which may have added to Constance Tal- madge's dissatisfaction with the idea of quitting the films and settling down in England as the lady of Captain Mac 1ntosh's home. This was the heavy fnan- cial losses which he is said to have sus- taincd about that time through dis astrous real estate speculation. Not only did he lose heavily in this, but many of his fashionable London friends who had invested on his recommendation sus- tained heavy losses.
 Among those who were "stung" be- cause real estate values did not increase as Captain Macintosh believed they would were the Duke of Westminster, Sir Philip Sassoon, Lord and Lady Chol- mondeley, the Baroness D'Erlanger, Maldwin Drummond, the banker, and
New Britain herald., 1927-04-08

already a familiar figure to Captain Maclntosh's aristocratic friends and rel atlves and they were proud and pleased that he had won the heart of such a famous and talented beauty. Their hearty congratulations made it certain that there would be no snubbing or high hat ting of his actress bride when he intro duced her to the smart set overseas.
 By June "Connie's" picture was fin ished and she and her husband sailed on their long delayed honeymoon. So happy was she with her new husband and so confident she would find the environ ment to which he was taking her entirely to her liking that she seriously con sidered abandoning the movies as soon as her contract was up. She would she thought, settle down to domcsticity as the mistress of an imposing English home, with occasional long visits to the United States What could be more delightful?
 Captain Maclntosh's proud family and his rich and titled friends received her with the greatest cordiality There was nothing in the quality of their welcome to make her regret her marriage. It was their manner of life which disturbed and disillusioned her
 This was so utterly different from what she anticipated that it quickly killed her desire to quit the movies and finally brought her to the conclusion that she would be infinitely happier if she were not married to Captain Mac Intosh.
 To understand the disillusionment which "Connic's' romance is said to have brought you must understand how steeped she was in the ideas of fashion able English fife as shown in American films.
 As English critics have frequently pointed out. these ideas are in many cases entirely false or grossly exag- gcrated. Rich and titled Engishmen

to do with any possible shattered pic lures of England that may have been in her mind.
 Many of Constance Talmadge's friends both here and in England think that such disillusionment was direct cause of her sudden decision to leave her new husband and arrange divorce. One of those who hold this opinion is Lord Castlerosse When he heard of the Mac Intosh's separation he had this to say:
 Captain Macintosh made the serious error in judgment of introducing his wife to his friends. They were much too democratic, which was disappointing after the high standard set by the noble men who figure in American films.
 ''ln England Miss Talmadge met the highest in the land but I doubt if she saw a single powdered footman except in restaurants"
 If this is the true explanation of the surprisingly sudden end of Miss Tal- madge's latest matrimonial venture she is by no means the first American woman to undergo such a disilluson- ment. Many American heiresses who have married Englishmen are believed to have found fashionable English life not at all what they expected it would be, and to have been very dissatisfied with their marriages because of this fact.
 Since the movies came into great pop ularity such cases of disillusionment are likely to be more numerous than ever. The scenario writers have gone to Eng land to study the backgrounds for Eng fish society dramas and the film directors have imported from England buffers and footmen to tell them just how English servants should dress and behave.
 But in spite of these efforts at realism there is still the widest difference be- tween fashionable English life as it is really lived and as it is shown in the films.
 Will MT. Nays, the czar of the movie world, have to tone down the films of English society life and make them stick closer to the ruth? Such action on his part might perhaps save scores of Amer ican girls from being bitterly disllu- stoned after their marriage to English men.

loves game from the side lines. And such strenuous. impetuous courtshlp It was-just the sort you would expect from a flashing war hero who felt sure he had found his ideal of young woman hood.
 The Captain stepped into "Connie's' life just when she was trying to recover from her first matrimonial experience. That marriage had been an unhappy one. According to the charges made Tn her suit for divorce, she found John Pialoglou, wealthy tobacco importer, even harder to get along with than his name is to pronounce.
 Miss Talmadge has always been a great admirer of smartly sophisticated society men and she thought Captain Macintosh the most interesting example of this type she had ever met. His thrilling war experiences, his wide travels. his friendship with the Prince of Wales, his polished manners-everything combined to make him q man of whom she felt she could never tire.
 She was therefore in very receptive mood when the Captain began to speak words of love and the romance reached the engagement stage before even Mir. Stewart had dared expect it possibly could.
 The marriage quickly followed, the ceremony being performed at the paa- tial home of Jean St. Cyr. Captain Mac Intosh wa anxious to start at once on a honeymoon trip to his old home in Scotland, but this was impossible be cause Miss Talmadge was right in the midst of the filming of picture drama. So the Captain went to Florida to visit the Joshua Cosdens while his bride re mained at her work in Hollywood
 Of course cables and mails had promptly carried news of the marriage to England and Scotland and it was re ccivcd with the greatest enthusiasm. Through the movies Miss Talmadge was

 do not surround themselves with all the pomp and vanity and stiff -necked ceremonies which the films would have us believe. 90 Miss Talmadge found out before she had been very long in the British Isles.
 Where were the powdered footmen that are 80 numerous in the film dramas? She saw not one of them at any of the many elegant homes in which she was entertained.
 Where were all the other livered Aunkeys? Surprisingly few of them in evidence. In fact many country manor houses and city mansions seemed to get along with fewer servants than are thought necessary in the homes of Hollywood film stars.
 Where were the magnificent dinner services of gold plate engraved with the family crest? The bride ate many a dinner of English roast beef without seeing anything better than fine china and silver.
 And so it went with all the concep- tions of fashionable English life which it would be only natural for an Ameri- can film star to have. Except for minor differences, rich and titled English peo- pie seemed to live quite like prosperous Americans and in good many cases with a great deal less luxury and display.
 Is it any wonder that such com plete disillusionment should have upset the American bride and made her think that she would De better off back in the United States than as the lady of Captain Maclntosh's English home?
 Perhaps 1t would have been embar- rassing for the little American film star to confess her ignorance of English high life as it is lived rather than as she had visloned it with almost childish imagina- ton of dignified pomp and splendor.
 For she never has admitted that it was the revelations of her visit to her husbands home and to the homes of his fashionable British friends that moved her to crash her second romance so sud denly and cast a longing eye toward America and her well-paying career in the world of the photopIay
 As a matter of fact. when Mrs. Mac lntosh was questioned by friends who sought to learn if her disappointment of England was the real cause of her second exploded romance she evaded the query by replying with trace of annoyance:
 '1 have been married twice and it is enough, l have my screen work and as soon as finish my contract with First National l shall begin work for United Artists.
 . Don't you think it is ,.nfair just be- cause I want to be on the level and above board and just because Captain Macintosh and ! have decided our mar riage was not q success for people to try to start scandal?"
 Evidently the young and beautiful star of the photoplay does not care to have the impression about that her un- expected change of heart has anything

 his bride on their return from the honeymoon trip t. Scotland that
 ended in their parting Luigi Nantree, the proserous restaurant owner.
 Captain Macintosh was never a tre- mendously wealthy man and his bride may well have feared that these losses would make serious difference with the luxury in which he would be able to maintain her.
 His financial reverses, added to the disappointment she felt on finding Eng fish life so much different from what she had expected, made her think that she would better hang on to her high salary and live in America. With her income of many thousands of dollars a year she could easily live in the United States on the scale of magnifcence on which she had expected to find her bus. bands aristocratic English friends liv- ing.
 Outside his most intimate friends, mo- body knows how Captain Macintosh is bearing the loss of the bride who was hi, for such brief time. He disappeared from public view shortly before Con- nle' announced that she was leaving hlm forever. There has been no state- ment from him to indicate whether he IS filled with deep regrets over the short lived romance or whether he is as we'll content as Miss Talmadgc seems to be to have things turning out as they are.

cial committee of the Academy of
Medicine.
The committee was constituted after
DR., Letulle, in q report to the learned
society, came out strongly in favor
of absolute medical secrecy. He went
so far as to say that the required
declaration of contagious diseases was
incumbent solely on the families in
volved, and that the doctor who re-
ported them without the families con-
sent was usurping prerogative that
did not belong to him.
For some time there has been con.
siderable agitation in favor of a medi-
cal association code which should
strictly define the duties of doctors
and prescribe adequate penalties for
infringements. The medical men
favoring this move would model their
ethical charter on that of the Paris
