MEET the Long fanily-Mama and MI Papa, and Don, Jesse and Jennie, IVA and Flora May - respectively, twenty years old, twins of fifteen, and tsn-all living together in modest home on the outskirts of Denver, Colorado.
 But meet most particularly eighteen year-old Marguerite, who is the heroine of the story, It was she who refused to marry her brother Don's ex-amy pal, Porter Sharer, who, she stated in spite Of his charming good looks and sprightly manner, did not possess her love; and it was she who, when her fortytwo-year- mother decided to kick over the traces of domesticity and elope with young Sharer, held the fort, mothered the family and with the aid of her father snatched Mama back from the flames.
 It all began more than 3 year ago while Don Long was soldier at Fort Sill, Okla hona. Don met Sharer, youth of his own age, and they became buddies They told each other about the folks back home and began to write home about each other Don showed Porter a picture of Marguer- ite. Young Sharer was greatly impressed and wrote Marguerite a note which he gave to Don to send with his weekly letter to Denver. Marguerite answered and soon they were corresponding regularly.

been planned a, an elopement by the woman and her young sweetheart.
 But their plana fell through. Near Manhattan, Kansas, Sharer's car collided with another Both the elopers were seri- ously injured and Mrs. Long was uncon- scious for two days in a hospital.
 For the sake of the children Long wrote to her and asked her to come home
 She d1d not return Instead, she again climb into Sharer's car and the pair drove eastward set upon moulding life nearer to their hearts desire.
 This new treachery overwhelmed the waiting husband. Torn with grief, he drank poison and slashed his wrists with 8 sharp razor. He recovered.
 Finally word reached Denver that Sharer and Mrs. Long had been arrested and were held in Kansas City on Mann act charges.
 Then came a pitiful letter from Kansas City. 'I love you all SO much, Mrs. Long wrote "If you will take me back you will never be sorry.'
 Long replied with 3 petition to the courts for leriency and as result, Mrs. Long was released.
 The family was overJoyed at reunlon- that is, all except Marguerite, who re- mains somewhat skeptical and plans to "keep an eye on Mama from now on"

BJ Times Special
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Thornton
Wilder, winner OF the latest Pulitzer
prize for novelists, seems to have
kicked over a Peruvian hornets nest
with his novel, "The Bridge of San
Luis Rey."
Although few readers of the Will
der story appreciated the fact, the
novels heroine, the Perichole, and
her lover, The Viceroy, Don Andres,
are real and cherished figures of
Peruvian history.
Now, according to an article ap-
pearing in the current Golden Book
magazine, the Peruvian press has
raised such clamor agains twhat it
terms the false local color" of Will

designed to retell the story and pre-
sent social conditions of the Lima
of that period in what is represented
as q more accurate and fairer YER
sion than that of the Wilder story.

The disruption of mountain rail-

Shipping was hard hit.
Scores of vessels had called for

large loss of life at sea.

Nor was that his only difficulty.
In these good old days" it was
a rare employer who did not put
some kind of swindle over on his
'hirelings.
One Of the favorite methods
with factories and mines was to
pay by script-that is, by orders
on the company store.
Under this system the worker
was very lucky to break even, and
if he didn't watch out he would
find himself in debt to his en-
ployer for the simple necessities
of life.
Another stunt popular with lum-
Der companies was to pay by
checks, dated 80, so and 80 days

John Barrymore Again Chooses to
Marry Three ROn1anCeS i'm Career
All Wives Celebrated as
Beauties, All Connected
With Stage.
BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The ro-
IN nance of Americas great lover
of the screen, John Barrymore, amid
Dolores Costello, brings him for the
third time before the public in the
role of bridegroom and recalls GER
tain points of similarity to his other
adventures in matrimony.
Dolores Costello is one of the most
beautiful daughters of Hollywood to-
day. But the second Mrs. Barry
more, poet, actress and playwright
as we'll as society queen, had an
international reputation as beauty
when he married her almost ten
years ago. Paul Helleu, French
artist, described her as the most
beautiful woman in the United
States.
And his first wife, Katharine Har-
ris, whom he married in 1910, was
one of the most lovely debutantes
of the season, related on her
mothers side to the Lydigs.
ROmances of Stage
Each romance has had a back
ground of the stage. The first Mrs.
Barrymore, though a society girl,
had theatrical ambitions and she
played with Barrymore in Believe
Me, xantippe." and with Ethel Bar
rymore in "Declasse" She played
with John when he made his first
motion picture.
The second Mrs. Barrymore,
known as a writer under the name
Of Michael Strange, has had a
many-sided artistic career. AS beau
tiful Blanche Oelrichs, she was the
belle of Newport and New York.
She divided her time between So
ciety and the arts as the wife of
Leonard Thomas, her first husband,
rich New York society man.
After her marriage to Barrymore,
she became more interested in the
stage and in writing, and less in
society.
Difficulties Overcome
In spite Of his reputation as a
great lover. his secure position as
the most popular leading man on
the stage and screen, his extraordl-
nary voice, and his profile second
to none, barrymore never has found
his matrimonial conquests unat-
tended by difficulties.
He married the first Mrs. Barry
more over the strenuous objections
of her father, who considered her
too young to marry. His second
wife is said to have divorced her
husband that she might marry Bar
rymore.
And the romance between him
and the lovely Dolores is rumored
to have caused so much friction be-
tween her parents that they were
divorced.
Though his first two wives have
been society women, descended from
old New York families, Dolores Cos
tello is a daughter Of one Of the
first families of the films. Two
decades ago Maurice Costello, her
father, probably was the most
adored man on the screen.
Divorce without Publicity
Barrymore's devotion to the
blonde Dolores has been known
since they appeared in their first
picture, 1.-THE Sea Beast" But also
every one knew that she was mar
ried to Michael Strange.
The divorce was won in Paris by
Mrs. Barrymore, without publicity,
and came as a great surprise.
There is one daughter, Diana, by
this second marriage.

Evansville Educator Says
He's Changed Mind on
Card Playing.

A plea for support of Evansville
college, because dancing is banned
there, was before the indianapolis
Methodist Ministerial Association
today.
DR.. Earl E. Harper made the plea
at the weekly meeting Of the asso-
citation Monday, at the Roberts Park
Methodist Episcopal church.
DR.. Harper personally doesn't be-
lieve dancing and card playing are
evil" he made clear, however.
Reared in the strict Methodist
doctrine that card playing, theater
going and dancing are all wrong, he
has had a change of heart, DR..
Harper explained.
Against National FratS
"I don't know whether social con-
ditions are all that they are sup
posed to be or not, but I do know
that I attended a social function
Of one of the literary clubs the 9TH
er night where they did not dance
and every one had a splendid time
The program was full and every one
was busy every minute. These kinds
of entertainments are more inspir-
ing, beneficial and healthful than
dancing, even leaving out the moral
issue.
This attitude Of mine on dancing
is upheld by every member of the
faculty, but will not make prom
Use or pledge that there never will
be dancing, because the board is
my superior. The school is governed
by this board and the church."
Assurance Given Pastors
Besides assuring the local Meth
odist pastors that social diversions
at Evansville college will be in &C
cord with the strict Methodist prin-
ciples, DR.. Harper discussed the fra
ternity problem and athletics.
The college needs fraternitieS, but
he is opposed to national fra
ternities and favors local organiza-
tons, he said.
He declared he favorS intercol-
legiate athletic contests.
