By COHN
STATE COLLEGE, Pa , Aug 22.
The platform in the university as
sembly hall is hedged with beribbon
c-f flowers. Young women, in
very new white dresses and witn
cheeks pinked by excitement, wait
nervously; young men, w.th over
serious faces, wait stiffly.
And there is one with silver
streaked hair. She smiles continu
ously—a sort of spiritual smile
transcending earthly things.
The college president calls;
“Mary O’Malley Sullivan.”
Two stout canes appear from
either side of a chair and the sil
ver-haired woman supports herself
upon them. There is. a storm of
applause.
It is “Orphan Mary’s” moment of
great triumph.
She accepts the rolled paper. It is
a degree of Bachelor of Arts.
“Orphan Mary” has defeated cir
cumstances, suffering, tragedy and
misfortune.
For those who may find the strug
gle hard or the trail easy, the life
of Mary O’Malley Sullivan is a ser
mon in courage, persistence and
complete triumph of the spirit.
This brief outline may provide a
sketchy picture:
She was orphaned as a baby. A
fall from the porch hopelessly crip
pled her for life a few years later.
At the age of 14 she graduated
from the Plains, Pa., high school.
At 18 she was a normal schcci
graduate. She held a practicing
pharmacist’s license before she was
20.
She was widowed 18 months af
ter marriage. Was proprietess of a
drug store and postmistress for 20
years.
Served in the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington during the war.
Spent three years helping the
sick and disabled in hospitals.
These are all records of achieve
ments. They tell nothing of the
months spent in hospital cots suffer
ing from her crippled condition and
seeking to find help from some of
the world’s best surgeons. Nor of
pain that often seemed unendur
able.
For ‘Orphan Mary” was never
able to escape the companionship of
her two stout canes and of physi
cal suffering.! Yet her ambtion was
stronger than her handicap. In ev
ery spare moment she studied.
The years sped. Silver strands
crept into her hair.
And then, after more than 40
years of struggle—the opportunity
of a college course.
To ‘'Penn State College” she be
came a symbol. Students came to
watch for her and help her limp up
the stairways and through the halls
to the classroom.
Now that she has won a degree
she is not, finished. Not Mary
O’Malley Sullivan.
( 111 teach for a time and then
I’m going to study again,” she says.
GARRETT BELIEVES
MARRIAGES LEGAL
MACON, August 22.—Explaining
that he had not read the new“pure
marriage” law, Charles H. Garrett,
solicitor general, said yesterday that
he was inclined to the opinion that
marriages performed since August
18, while illegal, are not void and
will stand the test if taken into
court for a ruling.
In Georgia, Mr. Garrett explain
ed, common law marriages are legal
and under that law a marriage
license is not necessary so long us
the couple enters into an agreement
to marry and then carries out the
agreement.
“Unless this new law specifically
says or is worded to imply that mar
riages performed not in compliance
with the new provisions are void, ’
Mr. Garrett said, “then I believe
they are good.”

THEATRES
“THE HUNTRESS’ A
WESTERN COMEDY-DRAMA
A story of the West, unique,
unusual, romantic, dramal’c and at
times highly humorous. Such is
“The Huntress,” a First National
picture which is playing an engage
ment at the Rylander today and Sat
urday.
“The Huntress,” which was di
rected by Lynn Reynolds, is a com
edy-drama of the Northwest and of
fers an ideal starring vehicle for
Colleen Moore, the newesj; First Na
tional star, who plays the titular
role, that of a lovable, vivacious
and mischievous white girl, who has
been reared among Indians.
The story centers around this
Peg O’ My Heart of the woods,
vho, eager to marry a white man
k dnaps a handsome, bashful young
man from the city who has come
mto that country prospecting.
It is a delightful romantic com
edy, replete with humor but not
without a leaven of pathos. Its ac
tion is swift and its plot unique.
Lloyd Hughes plays the leading
male role and Russell Simpson and
Walter Long wall be seen in the
principal heavy parts.
The exterior scenes of “Th?
Huntress” were taken in the most
picturesque section of the Califor
nia and Nevada high Sierras, among
the mountains and lakes of the
Mono lake district. This is the ter
ritory whore Mark Twain laid the
scenes of “Roughing It” his famous
story of the gold-rush days.
Without doubt the location is one
of the most scencailly beautiful of
the whole Sierra range, and until
choserj for the locale of ‘The Hunt
ress,” is said to have remained un
discovered by the motion picture
makers..

“One thing is certain,” Mr. Faris
said. “We’ve been electing the is
sues for 50 years and the other ltd
lows have been elected the officets.
It ought to be our turn to elect the
officers.
“If we can get only one-half o f

who are sick and tired of the proven
corruption which has besmirched
both major parties, to tell Uncle
Sam at the ballot box their real
hearts’ desire we’ll be elected by a

“If the good women will recog
nize the fact that it was through
our party they gained their suffrage
rights and will pay their debt to the
only party that evere did faithfully
stand for them, we’ll be elected with
out the need of a single ‘male-man’
vote.”
Mr. Faris asserted the Prohibi
tion ticket would be placed on the
official ballots in nearly half of the
states, among them Pennsylvania,
Illinois and California, and that he
thought it would find a place in
many more states. “In 1920,” he
continued, “a great many of our
people thought our work was done.
But government is only ‘one percent
law and 99 percent enforcement’
and you can’t expect the Prohibi
tion laws to be enforced by un
sympathetic officials now in office.”
