MADGE KENNEDY THE STAR
IN "OUR UTILE WIFE'
..Mad tie. -Kennedy Is the star of the
new Goldwyn picture, 'Our Little
Wife," from the play by Avery Hop-
wood, which will be thown at the
Sherry Theatre today and tomorrow.
She has the role of Dodo, a bride of a
- few minutes who grieves over the dis'
appointment of several other men who
1 wanted to marry her.
To alleviate their suffering, she de-
: cides to take three of them along: with
! her On her honeynip.on, n, decisfon that
" Hint . her huabbrid, 1 Herb, whose ob
jections avnil nothing. So off they go
to Lakewood, the bridal couple and
Dodo's three adinirora Dr.' Elliott,
Hon Brown and Tommy Beldon.
i Angered by his fuilure to have Dodo
all to himself, Herb sends himself a
telegram cnlllng him back to the city.
He takes two' of Dodo's wooers with
him, hut the third, Dr. Elliott, stays
over;' and fortunately so, for Dodo
. learns t"hc telegram was spurious and
goes into hysterics. Herb returns to
take Dodo back and finds her with Dr.
Elliott. A scene ensues, but Dodo ap
peases her husband with the promise
never to look' at any other man. That
promise she keeps long enough for
Dr. Elliott to wed Fannie Weston and
fdr Brown to become engaged to Angle
Martin.
Dodo, however, rebels at her hus
band's neglect on' their first wedding
anniversary. She telephones to Dr.
lMhott, nnd his bride is made jcaloui
by the message: Meanwhile Brown's
fiancee has called on Dodo, wailing
tnut she, too, has been neglected and
revealing that she is going to Tommy
Beldon's fancy dress party with an
other, man.-' To. prevent Angie from
being compromised, Dodo'phones to
Brown to come anil take her to the
' pjarty. Than, the real fun begins.
This, with a good comedy, completes
tlie program.

Rye, Is one of tho most dependable
crops ror tho dry section. Fifteen
new varieties of winter rye that
have been Introduced Into this sec
tion by the Dnon Station are now
holng tested out, both under val
ley nn.1 dry-land conditions. 1
Superintendent Wlthycombe has
been working for sevem! years to
produce a beardless rye, which
would eliminate the objectionable
featured of rye as a bay producing
crop. At first the feat was con
sidered Impossible to perform, but
he .Superlntendejlt kept right on
with the work until now he has
several new productions that
re precltcally free from beards. !
and ono plant that Is entirely free
from them. If this plant prows to
be a fixed type. It will be the first
a own beardless rye In the entire
world.
Mr. WUhycombe la still carry

of barleys. Several of the latter
produc'tons give promise of replac

that have already found favor
