LOVE AND PASSION
COMES TO NEW YORK
Carol Beardsley, beautiful film star, comes to New York in her new pro­ duction, “Love and Passion,” the grip­ ping, soul-searing study of a woman's conflict. This drama is a dramatiza­ tion of Sinclair Lewis's remarkable novel, “Main Street.”
Miss Beardsley interprets the role of Carol with a power and understand­ ing which makes this motion picture stand out as the greatest in a decade.
W, N. A. F. T. A. STARTS DRIVE
Greenville, S. C.—The Woman's Na­ tional Anti-b'ortune Teller Association began an extensive drive here today
at its first general meeting, with Mrs. John D. O'Conner, president, in charge. Mrs. O'Connea;- told reporters that she
was highly confident of the success of the campaign.” I feel this,” she said, “because so many thousands of earn­ est women all over the country are devoting themselves to this worthy
cause.”
Mrs. O'Conner will be remembered
for her work along these same lines, when, as Miss Harriet Cleveland, she formed a similar organization at the
Hartridge School.
NEW QUEEN REJUVENATES ENGLISH COURT
London, (AP).—Queen Elizabeth of England, who, before her marriage to Prince George was Miss Elizabeth P. Russell of New York, has enlivened
the staid English court by her beauty and charm. Old timers reported that the levee which was held yesterday morning at Buckingham Palace was rendered enjoyably original by the in­ formal manners of this second Eliza­
beth and her delightful impersona­ tions of various people of note.

intensive study of the habits of these bush Negroes and of their native is­ lands. She claims that she has finally identified the island on which Eugene O'Neill's Emperor Jones met hiS death and is now engaged in tracing the course of his wanderings through the
forest. Dr. Biggin, although a native of Somerville, N. J., has recently been made a member by adoption of the
Goona Woona tribe.
NOTED EVANGELIST SPEAKS Sister Cornelia Phillips, just re­ turned from a missionary voyage to
convert the Mohammedans in Paris, France, preached here last night. A t­ tired in flowing robes, she looked most ethereal, but her first woi'ds brought her large audience to earth with a crash. “The internals of the frog,” she said, “are a very interesting study.” Sister Phillips went on to elaborate with accurate knowledge this biological theme. We can no longer say that we have never heard an interesting sermon, for we were held enthralled all evening by the Evangelist. She is planning now to go to California to collaborate with Aimee Semple MacPherson,
AMERICAN TEAM
VICTORS AT WIMBLEDON
Clarke and Parker Win Again Wimbledon, (AP). — America was
again victorious in the doubles tennis tournament held here this year. This time it was racket-smashers Barbara Clarke and F. Parker who carried off the honors, beating the French team which had been hitherto invincible to the score of 6-0, 6-0. It was indeed a triumph for these two young players already so successful in National tournaments, but until now untried against foreigners, to emerge so suc­ cessful. Their playing was beautiful, their resistance never ending, and they
simply walked over every opponent. They will return next week on the “Bremen,” North German Lloyd liner, and will be greeted enthusiastically by thousands of sports-lovers who are planning to celebrate their arrival.
