Paramount' tall young screen hero, gained a long awaiting opportunity to play op posite Esther Ralston when he was assigned to the leading male role in her latest Paramount pic ture, "Half a Bride." Cooper's chance came largely through coin cidence. Richard Arlen. origin ally slated for the leading mal( role in this picture, which wil. show at the Oregon today. Arlea was withdrawn frorri the Ralston picture to take the leading male role in Clara Bow's new pic ture. "Ladies of the Mob." This story went into production two weeks earlier than anticipated due to the surprisingly fast recovery of Miss Bow from her recent ill ness. Cooper was available to fill the important gap because he com pleted the chief supporting role in Colleen Moore's starring picture "Lilac Time," sooner than was expected. The handsome young Montanan appeared with Miss Ralston two years ago in "Children of Di vorce." Since that time he has played In "Wings." "It." "The Le gion of the Condemned" and "Doomsday."

QUAKES UNDER MINE HXId TMFM MEXICO CITY, July 21 (AP) Unless walls and foundations which have been weakened by earthquakes can be straightened adequately, the great Catholic Cathedral of Mexico City, one of the show places of this continent and reckoned among the world's important architectural works, may remain permanently closed tc the public. The cathedral has been closed two years, since the Mexican re ligious laws became effective and the controversy between church and government became acute. It has been assumed that the cathe dral would be re-opehed whenever that dispute was adjusted and pos sibly before. But now engineers say its walls and foundations are dangerously weak and that recent earthquakes have increased their instability. In consequence the government or dered that it continue closed in definitely. If walls and founda tions can be so reinforced that fear of collapse is removed that order, issued for the protection of the public, may be canceled. STARTING TUES.
