III.-'A second genera tion of English aristocrats have sent theii’ lawyers into this country to carry on the international faintly tuorrel over the administration ot the $30,000,000 estate of Levi Z. Let ter, Chicago merchant prince. Five years ago the English heirs lost Out, Lady Marguerite Hyde, Countess of Suffolk and Berts, led the court battle against her brother Joseph Letter, who 1:; our of the trustees of the estate She was backed by nr three sons and the children of her dead sister. Lady 1’uiv.on. The .third sis ter, Nancy Lathrop Carver Camp bell, however, sided With her bro ther. It was a, long and bitter conn battle, l.ady Marguerite accused he. brother of momanaging the estate. She or her lawyers—point el ■-t--.il that he had displayed poor judg ment when he tried to corner the wheat market and lost $7,000,000. On the other hand Joseph's law yers told how the brother had ob jected to his sisters' ambitious mar riages to European titled men. In order to keep up the prestige which his sisters had attained in their social triumphs. Joseph was forced to keep his nose to the grindstone. He claimed that his titled relatives were very dissatisfied with the profits derived from the estate. Jo seph told a story, one which you could imagine a motion picture built around, a story of his efforts to increase the estate A \. ar alt er the death of Letter, Si . there was an explosion in the coal mines which killed El persons. Only the unusual efforts of Joseph Letter raved the estate »rom disaster. "He was undergToafcu in the. mine tor 48 hours at a nai. ;?.id the more.

HENRY CARROLL CORSETIER ~ I'HONE 213 - ’ lawyer,' and by lib own effort* and at the risk of; his own life; saved the shaft ." This long anti costly trial was concluded in 1927 when the court decided in favor of Joseph Letter. Tlie court pointed' 'oi.it that since Joseph's father had known of his j son's speculative turn oi mind, and tails- knowledge had not prevented him from becoming w trustee, Lady Marguerite had to be content .with i the decision. But now the English heirs to the. American fortune are again reach ing their hands across the Atlantic. This time they are led b\ Lady Cynthia Mosley, grandchild of Levi liehft'. whose mother married Lord Cur/on. Uoth. her parents are dead - and lady Cynthia is intensely intcr e ted in socialism Her husband, because of his wealth and j cratie affiliations, is called the>‘Sil I ver Spoon Specialist.' This titled j couple is very much concerned with I England's labor troubles. Lady Cyn tliia had little interest in the first battle the English heirs fonglu With Joseph Loiter. She had renounced her title when her husband had re nounced his. She had visited Ameri ca. but ihunned high society for the Hoi-d plant and tire stockyards of Chicago. Evidently Lady Cynthia s socialistic proclivities do not pre vent her from a decided iotere t in’ the American fortune to which she is one of the heirs It. Is a far cry from the aristo cracy of Britain back to the days when Levi Loiter started his career in a dry goods house in 'Chicago He started in 1865, when Chicago was. just a stopover town for those on the way to the Pacific Coast and he grew with the 'city He joined with Marshall Field in buying the controlling interest in Potter Pal ■ iner's dry goods business and by 1881 had cleaned up enough to re Lyric THEATRE HOME OK 1UG F'ICTCRES TODAY A TOMORROW Don't fail to see BERT IATEI.

Mary Li tter, the oldest .daughter, met. and married Lord Curron in 1895. When Mary’s lather died, it was discovered that he : had charged against each of his children what ever sum they had received from him during' his lifetime. So the $1, “00,000 trust; fund he had establish ed for Mary and her children was marked off her fourth part of the estate. And so Lady Curzon and her lord, then retiring viceroy of India, had to borrow money and take humbler lodgings upon their return to India.

Somehow, since we had heard so much about this new screen actress from Vienna and had never seen her face in the movies, we. couldn't wait until regular show time to see her. We telephoned a few fans and had a private screen of the picture before we went too strong in recom mending it to our patrons We were delighted with hei performance. Charles Farrer is credited with ins great os I role in this play with the new woman of personality. Eiissc seems to give him added poise In our estimation, lie reveal; his greatest dramatic ability in "Body and Soul." Of course it's our opinion we are giving here, but we think Eliss. I.andi is one of the keener 1 actresses we have seen. She'; beautiful, she’s smooth in hei action, she’s clever under tlv E binding circumstances of lov> I and duty, she loves with a love that is genuine. She's a ChaUerton. a Garbo, and a Dietrich roled into one. Tc us, she’s great Wre hope you will like her too.
