Norma Shearer Picture
Continues at Columbia.
THE new Norma Shearer film,
L Strangers May Kiss" at the
Columbia Is as popular as was to
be expected and goes roaring into
second week full blast. Miss Shear
er's performance, and to a lesser
degree the nonchalant Robert Mont
gomery, plus the garrulous Marjorie
Rambeau and the easily crushed
Irene Rich, make this picture one
that the public will see and enjoy,
in spite of story that is little bet
ter than high-priced varnish from
the pen Of the excitable Miss eek
Wife, Parrott.
Any production which features
Miss Shearer Is assured, however,
of the best. Even If the theme is
improbable and hackneyed, the star
overcomes such obstacles by her own
-dynamics and by her method of
crowding stellar Hollywood thespians
into her film. Thus 1t Is that one
doesn't mind when such a lady is
seen pirouetting about the world
from man to man, after being
thrown out by casual-living news
paper correspondent, only to find
eventually that a solid home and
hearth with him, sanctioned by a
wedding ring, is the happiest solu-
ton for them both.
Miss Shearer could go to Shang-
hal on a coal barge and the filming
of 1t would be interesting Any
thing she does has a certain glamor
and sparkle to -it-her clothes fir-
ing the feminine element in the
audience, it Is said, to wild-eyed en-
thusiasm. Even to the more cal
loused sight they seem to fit very
nicely, and the whole business is
recommended for anybody as torch
light cinema entertainment in which
humanity is given a ride" and Miss
Shearer comes out smilingly on top.

grappled in many years.
Lewis Is prominent educator, tall

civic affairs of the district.
Mrs. Lewis was so and her daughter
Freda was a lovely vivacious girl OF

ents had gone down with the Lusitania
The women were buried In their
nightclothes under the fresh concrete
pet dog. They had been dead several
days when the bodies were found.
Although neighbors said everything
seemed normal at the Lewis home on
last Tuesday, they noted the home was
silent en- Wednesday. Yesterday friends
of the family began to receive mysteri-
Gus letters one Of which said the two
women had been killed in an accident
The letters were turned over to Scot
land Yard and an investigation resulted
In the finding of the bodies.
A post-mortem indicated that the
women had died of poison, but this
was unoficial until after an inquest.
One of the letters said:
They have been buried with al
reverence in pretty spot, with flowers
over them. I shall soon join them"

rescued without so much as getting
''their feet wet"
The steamer, bound from San Fran

the treacherous off-shore sands of the
point as she cr1pt through a choking
fog, sirens blarirg and engines turning
at half speed.
AS the 3,8O0-ton craft, 25-year-old
veteran of the seas and once wartime
transport that carried the boys ''over
there" struck bottom and trembled from
stem to stern, SOS messages flashed up
and down the coast.
Three United States Coast Guard cut
ters, two freighters, the steamship San
Anselmo and the steamship Marsodak
and the u. S. S. Louisville, newest of
the Nays fighting forces, picked up
the call and raced to the rescue.
There was no panic or excitement in
the words of Capt. L. B, HillSinger,
commander Of the stranded vessel, ra-
Press. his passengers kept their shirts
on and enjoyed themselves immensely"
Eighteen lifeboats were quickly filed
and the passengers we're lowered into a
calm sea, where Capt. Hillsinger or
dered members of the crew manning
the boats to stand by and await the
rescue ships. The rocky shores of the
point threatened any attempt at safe
landing
With the arrival of the San Anselmo,
the passengers were taken aboard and
a short time later the Louisville hove
alongside at 750 am.
Shortly before II o'clock, the passen-
gers transferred once more, this time
to the decks Of the naval cruiser and
with an unexpected adventure behind
them they set sail again for their des-
tlnation, Los Angeles, 130 miles distant
The crew Of the Harvard, l19 men,
remained aboard to await the arrival
of tug and high tide late today for an
att.mpt to refloat the steamer.
