Thieves last night broke into the
Milwaukee and Dan Patch freight de-
pots and into one or more of the Mil

$3.50 in cash and stamps to the value
Of forty cents or more: also some
boxes OF candy, some clothing and
perhaps other articles. II Is not
thought that they made a great haul
OF anything.
At the Milwaukee freight depot they
obtained entrance by raising the sash
OF a small window. which was not
fastened. and by forcing loose some
boards that had been nailed on the
inside Of the window easement. IN
this depot they opened four boxes,

From the compartment of the depot

silver money from the cash drawer "a
the amount Of about two dollars. They
also took ten cents worth of revenue

pictures by Oliver Morosco and will
be presented in "The Yankee Girl az
the Majestic today, an adaptation of
her great musical comedy success Of
several seasons ago. The charge Of

sical productions never applied to

wit and capital situations. 1t ap-
plies even less to its Morosco filmiza-
tion in view of the beautiful marine
scenes taken at the world-famous
Catalina Islands, and the hacienda
scenes taken at the Fernandez San
chez ranchhouse. a landmark l50
years old half way between Los An
geles and San Gabriel, and one OF
the historic taverns Of the mission
days. The dramatic possibilities
Morosco has developed from the
Blanche Ring musical hit by the sim
pie expedient Of staging It in natural
scenery, a thing only possible in mo-
tion pictures. opens up new utility
for the higher,class musical comedies.
