orthodox form of marriage The
companionate marriage is already
quite common. Most Of us preach
ers frequently perform ceremonies
for what might be called COM
panionate marriages. 1t is under
stood that many of the young peO-
pie whom we marry are not to
have children. at least for a few
years, and that they are to con-
tinue their education or go on with
their work, and that the parents
of each will lend economic assist
ance. This means that the so.called
companionate marriage Is now
widely practiced.
The idea of the companionate
marriage deserves the most serious
consideration. Surely the institution
of marriage is not perfect. What
form of marriage iS perfect? Is the
institution so perfect that It cannot
be improved? If it is such divineIy
perfect institution, why the fire.

\. ]. JURORS TO
BE GUARDED

MAYS LANDING, N. J., Nov. Is.
The State is not going to take any
chances of having the Lilliendahi
murder trial, beginning Monday, de-
clared a mistrial through tampering
with the jury.
Prosecutor Louis A. Repetto
sounded a warning today to the
panel of men and women called
for the coming criminal sessions of
Atlantic county court to prepare
themselves for absolute isolation
from the rest of the world for
several weeks. AS each juror is
selected for the trial he will be
placed in charge of a constable and
will not even be allowed to receive
telephone calls, he said.
To guard against any miscar-
riage of plans, constables will be
constantly on guard over the jurors
between court sessions. g..
MatrOns For Women
Matrons will take place OF male
guards in watching the women
jurors il any women are selected.
1t is going to be easy for a
number of members of the jury
panel to avoid serving If they have
any aversion to such duty. The
legislature passed laws within the
last three years exempting mothers
of minor children and persons over
IS from jury duty. More than a
score of the general panel come
under one or more of these cIassifi-
cations.
In addition to these, there are
several who will have to be counted
out when selection of jury be-
gins. One is man who was re-
moved from jury duty because he
was found to be drunk while at
tending court some time ago. An.
other is a woman who is under
indictment at the present time.
Both Sides Ready
Plans are going rapidly forward
for the converting of court today.
The prosecution is ready. The
prosecution Is ready. The counsel
for the defense, Robert McCarter
and Charles M. Phillips, represent
ing Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl, the
widow. and Edison Hedges, counsel
for Willis Beach, will hold a final
session Monday to go over the evi.
dence for the accused.
Rumors of surprise witnesses for
both the prosecution and defense
continue to crop up. 1t is be-
1ieved that the defense will put
both Mrs. Lilliendahl and Beach
on the stand to bear out their
stories-the widows, that two ne
groes killed her husband: and
Beach's, that he was not near the
spot where the murder was COM
mitted. He has several witnesses
to bear out this alibi.

THE screen playwright Is
growing in Importance daily"
said Glazer. Upon him depends
the real future of the pictures
as a containing source of enter
tainment. However, ne has failed
so far to demand the credit ne
deserves, and has not received
justice.
IT have a plan to submit to
the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences for the estab-
lishment of a uniform system of
credits which, l believe will rec.
tify this situation. AS things
are now credits are distributed
lather indiscriminately. We see
on the screen that the story is
by so-and-so, the adaptation by
somebody else, the scenario by
a third person and the titles by
a fourth. The result Is confu-
sion, and no name means any
thing to the spectator or has any
great value.
-a-"Yet, the person who writes
the screen adaptation of a story
or play is the person who should
receive the credit or blame for
the resultant picture. He should
have just as high standing IS
the stage playwright. The only
reason he hasn't is because ne
has never insisted upon it. The
producer is perfectly willing that
he should. In fact a producer
would be pleased to be able to
know instantly when he sees the
credits for certain picture
flashed on the screen, to know
who is definitely responsible for
the screen play.
The screen play Is the thing.
The scenario, script or continuity,
the various terms by which the
manuscript which the director uses
in the actual shooting Of the pic
ture Is concerned. is largely a me-
chanical job, which car be mas
tered by anyone of Intelligence
with a, little concentrated study.
Its writer certainly does not de-
serve the same credit as the per-
son who creates the PLOT which
. makes the picture worth while or
otherwise.
stage playwrights have a de-
served eminence, because they al
ways receive proper credit for their
work. As a result, there are some
stage writers whose name means

a tremendous popularity at the box
office. George Bernard Shaw, Eu.
gene O'Neill, John Galsworthy,
Owen Davis, Ernest vajda, these
and many others are boxoffice
names. People go to see their
plays because these men write
them.
How many screen p'aywrights
have boxoffice name? The
screen pTaywright's name means
nothing at present. Yet. it ought
to. 1t is just as important on the
screen as the other is one the
stage.
"A uniform system Of credits
would unquestionably bt=ng about
the desired result. OF course, it
would take time for the public TO
learn who the really worthwhile
screen playwrights are. but in
evitably they would know them
and their names would begin to
mean something at the boxoffice.
