ness comes to him following the divorce granted his wife. James Langham was a popular author, too prosperous for his own good, and too busy to be an ideal playtime companion for beautiful wife, who had a fortune in her own right, and whose life had been, up to the lime of her married, one long play-day. Both were irritable but too well bred to quarrel. They did worse, indulging in polite thrusts with a double meaning. One night the thin thread broke. “You go your way and I’ll go mine/’ They were divorced, all for no reason. Separated, they discovered that they were very mych in love, but pride forbade the swallowing of hasty words. She fell in with a fortune hunter and accepted his proposal of marriage although she contemned l?im. Langham engaged an attractive young woman to pose as his wife from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m. and effected a jovial smile but life was empty with the "rented wife.” Langham wanted his real wife back. She wanted her real busband. They discovered, however, that it was easier to get into a mess like this than to get out of it. There were complications. Serious complications. They couldn’t be reconciled. It was all over. She started for the steamer to Europe with her fortune

From the Czar’s Court

NEA Service NEW YORK, June 12. —A Russian lad, whose / father had been in the diplomatic service of the czar as minister to Lithuania, found refuge in Paris, as have so many other of his brothers in ex-nobillty. He hq,d been brought up in the tradition of royalty. For a century his family had been titled court personage. His were the manners of the young noble. Transplanted today into the screen representations of society, Amil Lebedeff fit like a glove. It is no secret in the Paramount Long Island studios that this young man is being groomed for stardom. It is no secret that David Wark Griffith considers him an outstanding “find” of the year. In a short time he is expected to be quite as popular as John Gilbert and to play similar roles. Lebedeff is now playing the “devil's secretary” in the Griffith production of "The Sorrows of Satan,” in which Adolphe Menjou is starred. He had been considered for the leading part, but Menjou became available and the drawing power of Menjou was given due consideration. A romantic tale is related by Lebedeff concerning how he came to the American film camps. His family rent by the revolution, some of his kin imprisoned and some dead, he found himself In Paris, disconsolate and about penniless. He took work in a French film studio.
