funny as it ought to be.
Here is told the tale of the only
member of the famous "Florodora
Sextette." Daisy Marion Davies),
who didn't have beau. WAS there
ever such one, grandpaO She
did have very ''lowbrow' young
man, who took her for bicycle rides.
But, unlike the other girls, she was
never given jewelry or escorted from
the stage door by silk-hatted young
man to a coach and four, horse
and buggy-or what have you.
Then suddenly one day love few
in az the window" in the form of
the most notorious "lady-killer" in
New York. A rich, handsome. swell
and perfectly elegant gentleman,
who made all sorts of advances to
the fair Daisy. One particular ado
vance, however, was too much, for
Daisy vowed she would never
speak to him again" Shortly after
ward she consented to be his wife
he hadn't suggested such a nice
thing before-then she broke of the
engagement to please his mother
and then, finally-well. you must
guess the end.
Whatever Is happening in this
f1lm, 1t is the gay whimsical spirit
of the past century that makes it
really sprightly. Some of the old
songs are heard at a jolly picnic
outing" there is "a wonderful auto
mobile which shakes Daisy almost
out of her seat in going at the fear
full speed of IL miles an hour, and
there are wigs headdreSSeS, bustles
and pulled sleeves to provide some
of the best of the amusement.
Miss Davies is spottily funny and
coy as Daisy; Lawrence Gray is
smiling and genial foil" and
Walter Catlett, saying Johnny has
come home" and attending TO
Daisy's unbuttoned frock at the ball,
is certainly the most hilarious part
of the film
A novel stage connection IS pre-
sented, with Henry Bergman and his
Black Sheep besporting themselves
to the obvious approval of the
audience, and Dick Liebert Offering
his Dream Train" a distinctive
and popular novelty Other items
on the bill include newsreelS, the
Palace Orchestra and killing the
Killer" one of the most exciting Of
animal pictures, shown not SO long
ago at another local picture house.

COEN MEETS GRANT
FOR TENNIS TITLE
MerCur and Hall Win Way
Into Doubles Final of
Clay Court Play.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
p ANSAS CITY, July 1e.-The
three ranking tennis players of
the Missouri Valley. two East
erners and a player from the
Old South will compete tomorrow for
the singles and doubles championships
of the twenty-first annual national clay
courts tennis tournament.
Championship pairings finally were
determined today. Wilbur F. (Junior)
Coen, Kansas City, advanced to singles
finals, with straight set triumph over
Herbert L. Bowman, New York City.
The defending doubles pair, Frederic
Mercur and j. Gilbert Hall. Harrisburg.
Pa, and Orange, N. j., defeated Frank
Shields and Emmett Pare, New York
and Dayton. Coen won 90, 60,
6-3, and Mercur and Hall remained in
competition with 6-3, 6-3, 3-6,
81 victory.
Coen will play Bryan Grant, jr., 10
year-old Atlanta, Georgian, Of well
known tennis family, and Mercur and
Hall will meet Wray Brown and Harris
CoggeShall, st. Louis and Des Moines
Grant went to the finals yesterday after
a hard-fought 5-set struggle with Bruce
Barnes, Austin, Tex, and Brown and
Coggeshall eliminated Fred Roger and
Louis Thalheimer, Chicago, in straight
SETS
Coen and Bowman today played three
sets of orthodox tennis, with no spec
tacular shots to arouse the calm gal
lery. The doubles were more entertain
ing, but both teams were cratic and
the tennis displayed was Tar from
championship caliber.
Bowman's straight set elimination
was a surprise to critics and tennis fol-
lowers, as the seventeenth ranking
player in the Nation is credited with
being able to win a set from almost
any one he plays. Coen played perhaps
his best tennis of the tournament and
his accurate placements could not be
euualled by the New Yorker, who APP
peared sluggish and reluctant to exert
himself.
Pare and Shields teamed well together
at times, especially in the third set,
which they won, but most of the match
Shields was driving outside or into the
net on his service and was wild on
back court returns.
Pare showed flashes of spirit as did
Mercur. In the fourth set the cham
pions appeared benefited by the period
rest and moved through their oppo-
sition with the loss of but one game.

ship in tennis at Syracuse saw
a youngster who has 1t in him to be
Tilden's successor. Whether or not he
will take advantage of his natural as
set and rise to his opportunity remains
to be seen. 1t rests with Shields and
with Shields alone.
The boy now stands 6 feet IN his
sneakers, has plenty of physique. q
blazing service and possesses about all
the strokes known to tennis. To date
he has not taken himself seriously, and
there are those who fear he never will.
II he does not, 1t will not be because OF
lack of advice from those whose sermons
and advice are entitled to respect. No
youngster playing tennis today holds
the promise that he does. His natural
capacity for the game and his mastery
of strokes set him apart.
Shields, it is said, Will give up his
efforts to enter Yale and is now headed
for Pennsylvania. His absence from the
Davis Cup squad now abroad, was
chiefly due to a Discrimination on the
part of the Davis Cup Committee to in
terfere with his scholastic work.
While the makeup of the Davis Cup
team was to have been announced on
Sunday, no announcement Of the sort
has been cabled from France, so it
looks as though Gene Dixon, non
playing captain Of the American team,
Is still hoping to include Bill Tilden as

note that the United States has to meet

~ ISLEY, England, July 1e. - A
x woman who drove an Army mo-
tor car during the World War,
Marjories Foster, defeated many
of the crack marksmen of the British
Empire to win the Kings prize for rife
shooting on the famous Bisley ranges
today.
Not only is Miss Foster the first
woman ever to achieve this feat, but
she is the only member of her sex ever
to place among the final 100 COMPETE
tors in this event. She is the manager
of a chicken farm near Bisley. Her
score of $50 was a single point better
than that of Lieut.. A. E. Eccles Of the
Seafoard Highlanders, who shot 279.
Miss Foster won a cash prize of $l,250
in addition to the National Rifle Asso-
cations highly coveted gold medal and
gold badge.
Shooting as Driver Foster" since as
she is q member of the British Wom-
ems Legion and the event is open only
to service members, Miss Foster fired
with amazing skill and nerve. At the
very close of the competition she was
called on to make the most difficult
shot of the tournament.
Lieut.. Eccles posted his total when
Miss Foster had two shots to 60. If
she scored two 'inners," shots just OUT
side the bull's-eye that counted four
points apiece, she would have ended In

VOYAGE
DELAYED BY STORM
Americas Cup Challenger
YaW-Rigged, lowed to

ORTSMOUTH, England, July 10.
- The Shamrock v, Sir Thomas
Lipton's latest challenger for the
Americas Cup, started on her
voyage across the Atlantic today to the
accompaniment Of cheers from a vast
crowd and a serenade of ships sirens
but was held up by stormy conditions.
The craft, on which Sir Thomas has
pinned his hopes to achieve his ambi-
ton of capturing the famous cup, to-
night was anchored in the Spithead
Roadstead, sheltered from a stiff blow
and a turbulent sea. With her was Sir
Thomas steam yacht Erin, which will
escort her across the ocean.
Late tonight the Shamrock v was
taken in tow by the Erin and moved
from Ryde Roads UP the Spithead
Roadstead toward Cowes, where the
yacht races are annually held. The
westerly wind was greatly abated and
the water much calmer.
During the night the Shamrock will
remain under the lee of the Isle OF
Wight, and in the morning if weather
reports are favorable she will set sail
again with the Erin.
Careful preparations have been made
for the Shamrock TO keep in touch with
the Erin throughout the voyage to the
United States. The Erin will keep Sir
Thomas informed by wireless of the
Shamrocks progress.
Capt. Heard of the Erin expected to
reach the Azores in week and TO COM
plete the long voyage within one month
The Shamrock, when she started to-
day, was not the trim racing craft she
