DIVORCE BANNED FOR
MADONNA IN PICTURE
But Dorothy Cummings Gets Her
Freedom Later.

HOLLYWOOD, May 11-One of
the Strangest agreements ever
reached in Hollywood has been re-
vealed in the case of Dorothy Cum
mings, who played the part of THE
Madonna" in Cecil B. DeMille'S
King Of Kings"
When she was given the role, De-
Mile forced her to sign her name to
a stipulation which prohibited her
from going into the divorce court for
seven years.
DeNIille thought any such court
action would reflect harmfully to
the picture.
Two months after the picture was
completed Miss Cummings sued for
and received a divorce.

in prices Thursday, sent wheat up
at the opening on the Board of
Trade today. Corn and oats were
cratic, with fractional changes.
Provisions were about unchanged.
Wheat was up Il to 1c corn was
unchanged to Hc, off and oats was
unchanged to &c higher.
The break in prices has brought
the wheat market to level with
other markets, and this is expected
to keep cash wheat away except
from the immediate vicinity. The
market now is a weather PROPOSE
ton, and there is little change this
morning. Liverpool quotations were

Corn, while fundamentally strong,
shows a tendency to move with
wheat. There was no news of sig
nificance.
Oats need rain, and the market
is generally considered to be in
strong position.

NEW YORK, May 11.-Dr. Hideyo
Noguchi of the Rockefeller Insti-

While Noguchi was i'll from the
disease he had a monkey inoculated
