If Minta Durfee couldn't act a bit
the fact that she is the wife of Fat
ty' Arbuckle, known the world over
in Keystone comedies; would still
give her a prior demand on fame.
But Minta can act, too. She used
to sing and dance, and achieved a
reputation in musical comedy before
she joined the Keystone company
over a year ago.
The old Ferris Hartman light opera
company served to introduce Minta
and her "stoutish" husband to an ap-

Perhaps this wrong might he re-
medied by a law compelling the convic-
ted thief TO make good. to the extent
of his ability the losses which he has
inflicted. The government might as well
take charge of the assets of the thief
and see that PREPARATION is made as nearly
as possible to those whom he has rob-
bed. In other words, justice might well
have n somewhat broader scope than
the mere infliction of punishment upon
the doors of evil. The innocent victims
should have some claims upon justice
