Griffith, Maker

Many to Heights

Il Is axiomatic In Hollywood that
il a player cannot act under d. W.
Griffith he or she can never leara
to act at ali. Griffith takes more
pains and more time in working his
actors and actresses into the proper
emotional mood he desires than any
other director Of pictures.
IL is q strange coincidence that
every player he has ever placed in
a role Of responsibility has risen to
the top OF the profession. There
are the Gish sisters, Lillian and
Dorothy; Henry ID. Walthall, Mary
Pickfcrd, Richard Barthelmess, Mack
Sennett and virtually every big
name in pictures owes something to
the quiet influence OF "W. d."
The latest to come under his care
are Mary Philbin and Don Alvarado,
who play the romantic young lovers
in Drums Of Love-" d. ". Crit

DIVORCE RATE
CONTINUES TO
SOAR IN u. S.
Desertion and Cruelty Lead
in Causes for Broken
Homes.
Fly CECIL OWEN
United Press staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, May Gloom
plete marriage and divorce statistics
for 1925, just compiled by the
Census Bureau, show a further in
crease in the mounting divorce rate
for the United States.
Though total marriages and di-
vorces reached new high levels in
1925, the divorce rate increased.
The marriage rate continued the
decline from its peak of 1920 when
nearly twelve marriages were per-
formed for every 1000 of popula-
ton.
Divorces Increase Fast
Divorces increased "for more than
a quarter of a century prior to 1926
at a rate far greater than the
growth Of the population"
In 1926, the rate was 1.54 divorces
for every 1000 of population, or
fifteen divorces for every 1000 mar
riages.
There were ten marriages to every
1000 persons or thirty-seven to
every 1000 unmarried persons f1f-
ISel years OF IIlOTG OI age.
Marriages, in 1926, totalIed l.
2o2,574, and divorces, 19O,853. For
the country as whole, 1920 more
marriages we're performed in 1926
than 1925, and 5,4O4 more divorces.
New York State had the lowest
divorce rate, GAL, and Nevada had
the highest, 1919.
Cruely Leading Cause
More divorces are granted on
grounds Of cruelty and desertion
than for any other reasons. Over
seven-tenths Of all 1926 divorces
were for those two causes.
Desertion was the most frequent
cause of divorces granted husbands,
while more wives obtained their de-
crees because of cruelty.
Seventy per cent of all divorces
are granted to wives.
The proportion of divorces granted
for drunkenness, which drop from
"a per cent in 1916 to l per cent
in 1922, increased to is in 1926.
In that year, 8,171 divorces were
granted couples who had been mar
ried less than one year, an increase
Of 308 from 1925. The figures in
dicate q growing tendency toward
shorter marriages.

COOLIDGE ON TO
GETTYSBURG

For the first time since the days
of Roosevelt. President was
abscnta today from Arlington Ma
tionals@ Cemetery. making his
Memorial Day address at Gettysburg
instead.
The President left Washington
early today for a flying trip to the
historic battle-ground of the Civil
War--the seventh Chief Executive
10 visit there since the immortal
Lincoln consecrated that field OF
strife in 1865.
The trip was made by special
train. 1t having been decided that
the innumerable holiday motorists
would render too hazardous the run
overland by auto. AS result, the
Presidential party will be six hours
on the train before tonight's return
to the Capital.
President Roosevelt was the last
Executive to essay an address from
the same spot where Lincoln deliv.
cred his brief but epochal message
to the nation. Harding and Wilson
both visited Gettysburg. but neither
on Memorial Day.
Mrs. Coolidge accompanied the
President on today's pilgrimage, as
did Attorney General Sargent and
Secretary to the President Sanders.
Others in the party included Col.
Osmun Latrobe and Capt. Wilson
Brown, the military and naval aides:
Col. James r. Coupal. the White
House physician. the usual secret
service operatives, q dozen news
paper men and fourteen photog.
raphers.

CHARLESTON, w. Va,
May 80. Secretary Of Com
merce Hoover and Senator
Guy ID. Golf, favorite son,
were running a neck-and-neck
race today for the Republican
presidential preference vote in
yesterdays West Virginia
primary.
With only 513 precincts out Of
2 1906 accounted for, Golf was ahead
by approximately 500 votes.
Smith Leads Reed
On the basis OF the returns from
the same precincts, Gov. Al Smith,
OF New York. was leading Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri by about
1000 votes for the Democratic
preference.
DIR. H. r. Hatfield, former gov.
ernor, apparently has scored an over
whelming victory over Gov. Howard
M. Gore for the Republican Sena-
torial nomination. The Hatfield
forces were aligned with Golf and
may poll sufficient strength to put
Goff ahead of Hoover in the final
results.
Senator M. M. Nicely was un-
opposed for the Democratic nomina-
ton for the Senate.
William c. Conlcy is leading Roy
Waugh by to ] on early returns
for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination. Three Democratic can
didates were running a close race
for the Democratic nomination. with
J. A. Taylor leading.
Nineteen delegate votes are at
stake in the Republican Presi-
Dental primary and 16 in the
Democratic.
Hoover secured his greatest
strength in the rural counties and
Golf in the mining districts. They
were breaking about even in the
cities.
In Colts home county of Harri-
son, Hoover had an early lead.
Count Is Slow
Counting of the returns has been
slow and tedious. In some cases
as many as 200 to $50 and 400
names have been included on the
ballots. In one precinct, because
of the cumbersome ballot, 1t took
the election board one hour and
40 minutes to count II votes.
1t may be two or three days be-
fore decisive results are known in
the Republican race.
Smith has been showing general
strength both in the counties and
the cities. His lead has increased
as almost every precinct came in.
The vote was heavy.
