L. P. FRATERNITY DANCE P CORINNE GRIFFITH AT CAPITOL One of the greatest and most ro- mantic loves of history is the theme of “The Divine Lady.” Firat Nation- al's epic production starring Corinne Gritfith, which opens its local en- gagement at the Capitol theater Thursday for three days. Lady Hamilton, the role played by | Miss Griffith, rose from obscure birth—her father was a blacksmith —to become a world famous beauty, the wife of a great diplomat, and a real power to be reckoned with in international affairs. Lord Nelson, at the same time, was becoming England's great naval hero, the saviour of his nation and the first man to defeat Napoleon in any sort of engagement. The meeting of the two in Naples began an idealistic romance entirely sanctioned by the aged Lord Hamil- ton which the world did not under- stand. Beginning Sunday the Capitol will offer the all dialogue feature “Thru Different Eyes” with Warner Baxter and Edmund Lowe featured on the Fox Movietone.

Bat Wife Has Opposite Views Edmund 8limski, 36. of 139 Gold street, told Judge Stanley J. Traces- ki in police court today what a geod husband he wi and Mrs. Slimsk) told the court what a trouble maker he was, after which the court sus- pended judgment on Slimski, who was charged with breach of the peace and assaulting his wife last Sunday. He was placed in charge of Probation Officer Connolly, Judge Traceski remarking that the evi- dence indicated the need of some sort of suprvision in the home. Sergeant T. J. Feeney arrested 8limski on a warrant Monday, after Mrs. Slimskl had complained that she was punched in the face and showed a cut on the inside of her lip. The sergeant said he talked with Slimski about it and his claim was that there was '“too much mother-in-law” in his household. Mrs. 8limski testified that her mother was a widow when she was but an infant, and she felt in duty bound to provide a home for her in her old age. Incidentally, her mother looks after the three chil- dren, whose ages range from 3 to 8 years, allowing Mra. 8limski to work in a factory, where she earns $20 a week on a press., Her hus- band has made trouble {R the home ever since they were married, she said, but she did not have him ar- rested until this week.

Two Women Against Onc Man Last Sunday he went to church and was late coming home. She was preparing dinner when he be- gan scolding her, also talking about her mother. She was cutting bread with a knife and she lost her tem- per at his remarks, finally threat. ening to use the knife on him, she admitted. He struck her on the head and again in the mouth, draw- ing blood, and then her mother pitched in and helped her. He is not a hard drinker, she said, but when he takes a few drinks he be- comes nervous. Slimski, who was represented by Attorney Martin F. Stempien, said his wife went to her sister's home Sunday. which. she admitted having done. He and she had £.me dfinks and were “feeling happy,” he sald, but she was very slow about getting dinner on the table and he spoke to er about it, a¢ he-was-hungry. S8he flew into a rage and came at him with the knife upraised. He was frightened and sank into a chair ex- pecting to he stabbed. “What could T do?” he asked the court. “She is stronger than I ame I was in the army and 1 don't feel good. 1 thought she was going to cut me to pleces, so I punched her.” Blames Mother-in-Law The real trouble in the heusehold is the interference of the mother-in- law, Slimski declared. ‘“Bhe is more boss than my wife and I together,” he said. Whenever he and his wife have a dispute, her mother takes the latter's side and both of them rush at him, he said. Judge Traceski said it was appar- ent that Mrs. Slimski threatened to use the knife, which was a danger- ous action to take especially in view of her husband's nervous condition. On the other hand. he was not justi- fied in striking her. and he warned him not to do it again. Neubauer Case Continued In the case of Louis Neubauer. 36, of 91 Putnam street, the charge be- ing non support, a continuance for one month was taken and in the meantime an effort will be made by Probation Officer Connolly to recon- cile the couple. Attorney A. A. Greenberg, defense counsel, said | Neubauer is ready and willing to | have his wife and the two children in her custody return to him. but she is not quite prepared to come back.
