President of France Greets U. S. Representative Cordially PARIS, Dec. 18. ( AP Wal ter E. Edge, who succeeded the late Myron T. Herrlck, at the American embassy la Paris, pre sented his credentials to President Doumergue la a simple but ha preeslTa ceremony today and be came a full fiedged ambassador. Mr. Edge- dispensed with the French cavalry escort usually pro vided for such occasions and went to the Elysee palace in one of the president automobiles. He was accompanied by M. De Fouquleres, master of ceremonies at the pal ace. . President Doumergue greeted him with more than ordinary cor diality and replied to his remarks with real enthusiasm. Cordial Feeling Toward V. S. Expressed "Common stragglers for glory la the past and the love of liberty and Justice hate united .us lot- ever." he told Mr. Edge after as suring him that the French people were animated by the same cordi al sympathy toward America as the ambassador had expressed for France. " "If France was able in other days to give precious aid to the United States, we take good care not to forget the efficacious and glorious part that American arms took in the victory that terminat ed out last war. Nor have we for gotten the multiple proofs of sol idarity and generosity given oa that occasion by the whole Amer ican -people." 1 1 "In the course of yovrn mission, which I hope will be long and fruitful, the collaboration between France and America for the reall- istlon of the ideal of peace com mon to both governments will continue to strengthen the pact of Paris. The Pact of Paris, more over, traced' the path for the de velopment of policies that respond fully to the aspirations of the en tire world. "I am persuaded in advance that you will work to that end as a worthy emulator of ths great ambassador whose place rou occu py today." President Doumergue conclud ed with a word of personal thanks to President Hoover for the good wishes brought for him by Ambas sador Edge. He asked Mr. Edge to transmit to Mr. Hoover "the wishes I entertain for his person al happiness as well as that of the entire American people."

The picture which accompanies It li "Companionate Marriage" and In Itself offers much of gen uine Interest and entertainment. Speaking of stock companies. don't forget that the Fraxiers are to be at the Grand in ''Stella. Be Careful." That Is rood advice to us all. I want to say for ths benefit of any of the doubtful Rio Rita Is one picture balled as "ths most advanced and soectacular piece of moving picture and sound work ever seen or heard't wnicn is aoi all .talk. It is the troth that 95 per cent of all the pictures so advertized are not half what they claim but Rio Rita is Quite superior. The sound effects show much advance; one scene shows a group of rangers riding into the barnes they ate singing and their voices sis ia the distance but as the- men- approach their voices grow plainer la exact ratio of the approach. - That is done with, the taking ef the picture and tioHrith ths machine ia the theatre- and it is remarkable. So are the last are or six reels of technicolor which concludes the picture. If you are not pleased with the show let's hear your criticism. . - The whole story has the humer ousness of any musical comedy aad the fact that.it is a "t aid" makes it the more fun. The com edy is worth, hearing. ' H MISS WILLS WEDS EARLY OEXT WEEK 'BERKELEY, Cal., Dec. It. (AP) Helen Moody will be women's world tennis champion after next Monday. Dr. a&d Mrs. C. A.
