THIEVES WORK
WHILE FAMILY
IS At CHURCH
ENTER HOME OF H. T. HUNT AND
SECURE ABOUT FIFTY DOLLARS
IN CASH AND OTHER VAL.
UABLES.

Last night, while Commissioner H.
r. Hunt and family were at church.
a sneak thief entered their home in
northeast Ardmore, and after giving
it n thorough ransacking, departed,
taking about fifty dollars in cash
which was in a dresser drawer, ana
some other Valuables. The work was
evidently that of Il person who was
thoroughly familiar with the location
and who was aware that the family
was away at church. The police were
notified and will make thorough
investigation. They are satisfied,
however, that they have tho right
clue and if IL proves to be correct,
an example will be made of the of
fender.
Thieves are getting altogether TOO
numerous in the city at preRent, and
the first time the police catch any of
them it will be rather hard "ledding.
The practice of watching house
until the members of family leave
for church and then give 1t thor
ough ransacking, Is getting monoto-
nous to a number of ciiihers who
want to attend divine worship but
do not desire to give = person
chance to take their goods while they
are away.
The mayor stated this morning mat
he would uso evrrv ee'crt 10 suu'

glad to see the offender get lorg
term of years, This is the second
time within week that houses have
been ransacked while members OF
the family were at church.

Tabloid Craze.

(By Julian T. Bakery
The musical tabloid craze has
gripped the cities of the west in
such a way as to create the belief
that this class of entertainment is
destined to secure firm hold on
the theatre going public. The dearth
of legitimate attractions has paved
the way for the tabloid musical
comedy and many OF the better
shows of this character are realizing
handsomely during their three days
and week stands in the cities Of the
middle west
discriminating The movies are spas
modic. In their appeal and some
thing other than the screen must be
offered by the energetic manager who
realizes that variety must be con-
sidered in catering to his patrons.
Musical tabloids with an array of
female talent in attractive hosiery
and gowns are always magnetic for
this particular reason, and since the
best tabloids include essentially these
features, TO a modest decree. it is
patent that the skeletonized show
must come in for a share of the
theatre patronage.
Tabloid shows seem to strike a
happy medium in that they supply
generous amount of comedy, with
which are interpolated musical num-
bers and dancing to carry out the
effect OF a real musical snow. Fox
