later the girl. Florence Montgom- cry, had promised to become Mrs George Arliss.
 That was early in 1899. They were married the same year. Arliss was 31 then, Florence around IS or 20. To-day Arliss is 65 and the same girl still is his wife. Thus new long, time marriage record for motion picture couples has been hung up--the Arlisses, married for 34 years.
 A Struggling Actor At the time of their marriage, Arliss was a struggling actor on the London stage and his wife was attending a dramatic school. As their bank account was slim and Arliss did not feel he should stay long away from his work, their honeymoon was short one. How ever, he promised that some day they would take a trip to China for real honeymoon. They're still planning that trip.
 Perhaps that's what has kept them together through the years. Or perhaps 1t is the tiny gold pig which Arliss bought at the railroad
 
 their honeymoon and which he still wears on his watch chain as good luck charm. In any event. there never has been even hint of trou- ble in the Arliss family.
 Common Interests
 Shortly after their marriage they bought a small home near Mrs Arliss' birthplace in Kent. And much of the time they are in Eng land still is spent there. although they now havc a much larger place in London. Two years ago they had the house modernized to the extent of installing electric lights and hot and cold running water.
 There they also have gardens in which they like to butter around Mrs. Arliss in her flower beds and George is his vegetable garden. Gardening is one thing in which both are intensely interested. In addition, both are greatly inter- ested in humane society work, both are vegetarians, and both are great walkers.
 Arliss gives his wife credit for most of the important decisions which he has made during his ca-

reer. It was she who insisted they should come to the Unitel States 25 years ako, and who further in-
 sisted that they should remain in
 this country, and find plays in
 which Arliss could be starred.
 Played With Husband During his stage career. Mrs. Arliss appeared in several plays
 with her famous husband. How
 ever, she summed Broadway. When ever she did go into play 1t was to replace the Broadway leading

 she has played in four pictures with her actoh-husband. always us- ing the name of Florence Arliss.

 let Mrs. Arliss portray any charac- ter except his own happily mar
 ried wife.

Street Singer Due al Palace Tomorrow

Today and tomorrow will witness
 the final showings at the Palace theater of a double feature pro- gram that has all of Waterbury in raves over the entertainment that ' is given, it is composed of Victor l Jory, Loretta. Young and David
 Manners in "The Devils In Love" and for the second feature there
 will be seen George Stone, Fay
 Wray and Phillips Holmes in "The
 Big Brain.
 All the preparations have been
 made for the reception, of Arthur Tracy, "The Street Singer. who will be the gala stage attraction at the Palace theater this Friday,
 Saturday and Sunday in conjunc- ton with the regular screen pro- gram of popular theater and best
 of all there will be no advance in prices for this showing of the greatest star of the air, the boy with the most romantic voice on the ether waves. In the broadcasting station, all that he works is 15 minutes a day,
 while in the Palace theater he will have or times this much to do,
 so consequently he and other fav-
 orites do not like the stage work. 1t taxes their strength and they
 have a lot easier time in the air programs.
 Tracy will appear daily at 3. G. and p. m.
 His Waterbury appearance will
 be his only showing in this terri tory as contracts and broadcasts will take up the most of his time from now on, and whatever little time he has to himself will use for rest.

In the steel and automobile indus

BEER HACKERS
THINK SENATE
WILL VOTE WEI
Is Now Conceded Beer and
Wine Legislation to
Reach Upper House
By HENRY LESESNE
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH March %. - The
growth of beer sentiment in North
Carolina, particularly during the
past few days, has convinced pro-
ponents of wine and beer legisla-
ton in the senate that the upper
branch of the general assemb( =
will pass the Francis bill legalz-
ing the sale of 80 per cent wine
and beer. The number of Suppos-
edly dry members Of the general
assembly who have come out for
legalized wine and beer within the
past few days has been so large
that it has tended to divert inter-
est from the committee hearing
on Senator Francis bill this after
noon.
For it is now conceded that the
beer bill will get to the floor OF
the serate. The membership Of
senate judiciary committee No. 2,
which will act upon the bill, is be-
lieved to be predominantly in IA
vor of beer legislation, although u
majority of them have thus far
declined to express their views
pending the hearing today, at
which the professional dry organ
izations will make the customary
plea that the North Carolina leg
islature should not NEEDLE with
the states dry laws in any way
whatever until the people of the
state have a chance to vote on the
issue.
However, even if the bill comes
out of the committees hands with
an unfavorable report, there are
enough outspoken beer proponents
on the committee to assure a mi
noritv report, which will place the
question squarely before tn" up
per branch of the assembly
Therefore, despite the committee
hearing today, interest is chiefly
centered on what the senate as
o whole will do about the measure,
which a few weeks ago was not
given a chance by observers here,
but which now is conceded a good
chance Of passage.
Senator Francis, of Haywood,
author of the bill and a member
of judiciary committee No. 2, eX-
pressed confidence today that the
senate would pass his measure,
which would tax beer at the rate
of $3.50 a barrel and wine at two
cents a twelve-ounce bottle. Many
of the members of the general as
scmbly who spent the week-ends
at home, said they found a grow
ing sentiment for beer legislation
and that no one apparently is OPP
posed to legalized beer in North
