taken any differences with the com
mission to his government and be
llevea thl to be untrue.
"Lahalle ft Levard haw no con
tract with th commission, and th
commission doe not ow and ha
not owed them any money. Major

picture. Everything j had don had
bn cut out.
Th actor told hi hearer at the
aame luncheon married men should
not alway agree with their wive.
We were making a picture once in
which a beautiful actress appeared
wearing a gorgeous bathing ault. A
man and hie wife were visiting the
set. I know It waa his wife for he
paid absolutely no attention to her.
'When thl aotreas made ner en
trance In the bathing ault, tie wife
took on look and aald. That beat
me Instantly th husband replied.
'It certainly does,' and then he was
In for a lot of abuse. So I say It la
not always safe to agree with your
wife."
