HILARIOUS FL M 1, SHE MARRIED AN
 TIST,' OPENS
New Star Luli Deste Co., Starred in Film with John
 Boles on Capitol Screen

An extraordinary bit of news to- day, is the fact that foreign ac- tress, in her first Hollywood made picture, has not been asked to run the gamut of despair, register ter TOT, disillusionment, joy, wistful- ness, and passion in rapid success sion, and top the whole thing off with a languid flutter of the eye lashes. The player who has been fortunate enough to avoid all this is Luli Deste, the Viennese actress, who good-humoredly makes her American debut in Columbia s charming romantic comedy "She Married An Artist" which tn e Capitol Theatre, with satisfied chuckle, places on view tonight.
 Too, Migs Deste has been lucky in that her leading man is John Boles, who is easily one of the screens more suave and engaging actors Together, they cavort through a gay story of a famous French designer who comes to Am erica to look up New York's most renowned commercial artist, who paid rather close attention to her in Paris five years before.
 The designer attracts the artists attention by directing scathing blast against his work in a news paper interview Sore as the dickens, the artist dashes over to ask her where she gets off. He's so angry, in fact, that he marries her. Now, everyone knows that marriage is a poor way to end an argument; it has, moreover, been rumored as a fairly sure method of starting one. Add to this an exquisite model who has been in love with the artist for years, the fact that they spend their honeymoon on liner that never leaves port, one handsome Frenchmar and a possessive house. keeper, and you have your choice of reasons why this particular mar riage should not be exactly serene.

 RAID NETS S8

NEW YORK, July 27.-It was a regular movie style holdup-seven men, one at the wheel of big limousine, one at the doorway of the Way Laundry, Brooklyn, and five inside waving pistols and lucky not to shoot each other.
 Everything, in fact, had been provided except the loot.
 When the five men came in they ordered Miss Lillion McGrath, the telephone operator, away from the telephone switchboard and demand ed the combination to the safe. It wouldn't have mattered if they had gotten it. There was nothing in it.
 They ''frisked" the employees for $8 and drove away with net loss on gasoline and car hire.

Flood waters at Tulsequah which for the past three days have been threatening the Polaris-Taku camp have subsided and the danger point appears to be past according to Marine Airways pilot Alex Holden

 Safest Place.

NEW YORK, July 27.-Prof. Rob- ert E. Rogers of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who single handed made commencement ad- dresses newsworthy, got in the news again with his latest speech.
 Said he, advising Rhode Island College graduates in Kingston:
 Get on the public payroll. That will be your most secure and profit able career in the future, supported by the rest of the rest of the popu- lation.
 Tt is only another kind of dole, but you won't mind that, for it is about as certain as prophecy can ever be that the days of what has been called rugged individualism are over"
 Several years ago the professor advised graduates to "be snobs' and marry the boss daughter" to in sure success. Then he amended that to, Marry the boss stenographer instead; his daughters broke"

BANKRUPTCY LAWS
REVISION APPROVED
Measure Reaches From Largest
Corporations Down to
Wage-Earners.

By the Associated Press.
A proposed broad revision Of the
Federal bankruptcy laws reaching
from the largest corporations down
to individual wage-earners won ap-
proval of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee yesterday.
Senator OMahoney. Democrat, Of
Wyoming, acting head Of the group
which spent months drafting the
measure. said it was the first "com-
plete overhauling of the Bankruptcy
Act since 1878" and was intended to
"streamline the whole subject Of credit
and discharge of debts"
Criticism of the bill came from
Senators King, Democrat, Of Utah
and Austin, Republican, of Vermont
Senator King predicted it would force
liquidation of many corporations now
permitted to reorganize, and COM
planned about powers given the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission to ad-
wise Federal courts on corporate re-
organizations.
Senator O'Mahoney fatty disputed
this and said broadening Of reor-
ganization law involving corporations
having debts of more than S250,000
would protect investors and creditors
without invading jurisdiction Of Fed
eral courts.
