As a little girl this busy woman had a flair for writing but “grew up to be a school teacher.” She plied this art at Carthage, and a good teacher she was, for it was born and bred in Mildred Harrington to do her work well. At odd moments, she found a congenial friend in Bion H j Butler, oine of the best known editors of this section of North Carolina. Working with Mr. Butler she learned to do everything about a newspaper I office, even to type-setting. The apportunity then came to go to New York to study.

Busy Housewife In 1926 Miss Harrington was mar ried to Peter Lynch, a North Carolin ian, also living in New York. He is a lineal descendent of Peter Francisco. While Mildred Harrington Lynch is man.' “I Take This Woman/ ’the screen version of the well-liked story, feat ures Gary Cooper and Carole Lom-, for the meeting were all the cou’ t - bard in its cast. The drama involves a i commissioners and many of the petted child of wealth, Carole Lom-; county officials, bard, whose scare-Jine escapades have j involved her father in trouble and scandal. Shipped off to the family: ranch in Wyoming for punishment,; she meets, flirts with, and unthink ingly marries Gary Cooper, a range rider. Then the spoiled darling learns something about life on a barren lit tle ranch. The marriage runs a mad course, but the wilful bride, with the road open for her escape, finds that she has bound herself to her strange husband with ties stronger than man- mad law. The daring directness of this story, “I Take This Woman,” is typical Rinehart. The locale, shift ing as it does, between fashionable dance-mad New York and the wild country of the West, arid back again, adds delightful variety to the pic ture.

I At the pre-view of this picture in j California, the great popularity of I both Miss Dressier and Miss Moran j was evident in the tremendous ap- I plause of the audience at the first i glimpse of them on the screen, and I from first to last, their characteris- ; tic comedy was greeted by a riot of I laughter.
