Burbank theater, loved and beloved by
the Ancient Order of Gum Chewers.

All might have ended there had not
the photographer filed suit against
William for the sum of $12 The suit
was filed in Justice Pierce's court and
rather than subject himself to the rude
gaze of the public William yesterday
appeared in court and notified fCon-
stable Cline that when the photographer
came through with the fifteen poses he
would pony up the necessary dinero.
1t is rumored that the photographs
are marves of beauty and grace, al
though Justice Pierce did not have the
chance to make comparisons.
Hero Changes His Mind
Willie contended that the poses should
have been more graceful, and the
photographer suggested that the court
make the comparison. 1t was probably
the thought of having to pose in court,
draped in delicate raiment and wreathed
in smiles while Justice Pierce made
comparisons of figure and photograph
that finally caused Desmond to change
his mind
But yesterday there was another
startling feature when it was rumored
that Desmond had balked at paying 80
cents a pose when he had expected to
pay not more than two bits at the out
side. This statement, however, is con-
sidered by Willie's admirers as SANDER
of the rankest sort, and they allege that
no thought of that character could
have ever been fathered in other than
deputy constable's brain.
THE idea of a photograph Of Bill
Desmond costing two bits" say his
friends, when there are hundreds of
people in Los Angeles who would gladly
pay their last pennies for the privilege
of having the sweet pensive features of
the thoughtful Bill gaze down at them
from the mantelpiece.
Yesterday Desmond walked into the
office of the constable. He lad to walk
through the court room and everyone
stopped to look at him as he walked
with measured tread the carpeted floor
toward the little door at the aide. A
prisoner about to be sentenced gazed
with wide open eyes at Bill Desmond

But Bill took no notice anG walked to

soon settled that Desmond would pay

four bits.
