JOHN BUNNY, MOVIE
STAR ACTOR, IS DEAD
Comedian Who Made Millions
Laugh, Succumbs i'm Brooklyn
% Years an Actor.

New York, April 26-John Bunny
whose antics as moving picture COM
edian have made millions laugh, died
at his home in Brooklyn today.
He had been i'll for about three
weeks OF a complication of diseases.
Members of his family were with
him when he died. For a week he ap-
parently had been on the mend. A
strenuous month at work, it is believ-
ed, caused the breakdown which re-
suited in his death.
He was the highest salaried actor in
the moving picture business up TO the
time he left it.
John Bunny was 81 years old. For
20 years he had been before the foot
lights before he entered the moving
picture field four years ago. During
his career as an actor he had leading
roles with many old-time stars, among
them being Annie Russell. He had at
tanned countrywide popularity as an
actor before he achieved his greatest
success on the screen.
Bunny was born in New York City
of English parents, was educated in
the Brooklyn public schools and was
clerk in general store until he
went on the stage at the age of 10. In
the moving picture world he was re-
garded, for time, as the country's
leading comedian. He was said to
have received more than the President
of the United States in salary and
royalties. The amount of his compen-
sation was never divulged to the pub
lie. He will be buried in Brooklyn.

Thief WHIPPED and
IS Then ARRESTED
Bad Brunette Actor Plucks Pants
While on a Shopping
Tour.

Hiram Outright, a well known ne
gro character in the criminal courts
of this city and county, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Officer Ed
ward Beeve, on the charge of having
attempted to steal some clothing from
the store of Harris kasretz, a Main
street merchant.
The negro appeared in the store at
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon and
asked Meyer MaltZ, the clerk, to show
him some stockings. After making his
purchase, and while the clerk was en-
gagged in wrapping the bundle, Buff
right was occupied in concealing two
pairs of pants under his coat which he
wore thrown loosely over one shoulder.
Mr.. Kasretz, who was sitting at the
tailor's bench in the rear of the store,
became suspicious of the darky and
walked down to the front of the store
to see what he was doing. He asked
Outright why he wore the coat in
that peculiar fashion, and while ques-
tiOning him, he suddenly seized the
coat and jerked it from the Negroes
shoulders.
When he did so, there was revealed
two pairs of trousers hanging across
the arm that had been concealed by
the coat.
When Outright attempted to flee
from the premises, he was seized by
Mr.. KaSretz who struck him several
blows on the face and head, finally
whipping him into submission. The
negro was held prisoner until the ar
rival of Policeman Beeve, who con-
veyed him to Judge Orren Wilson's
court, where he was ordered taken to
Jail to await his preliminary hearing.
Outright is commonly known as
"Blacky," and on previous occasions
has been arrested and convicted of
petty thefts. The last time he was
brought into the Circuit Court, he was
warned by Judge Kelly that if he was
ever brought there again for stealing,
he would inflict the maximum penalty
upon him, and if the offense would
Justify, he would send him to the pen
He was suspected of having parti-
cipated in holdup in this city about
a year ago, when one negro was rob-
bed by two other blacks whom he
could not identify. The victim was
robbed, and then forcibly swung by
his heels, head downward, on paling
fence, where he was found several
later in an unconscious condi-
ton.

pared for his enjoyment.
Not a word was uttered while the
feast proceeded, and finally after the
last drop of butte rmilk had been
drained, and all the corn bread and
greens and pig shouts had faded from
view, the old musician pushed back
from the table, and after giving a few
satisfied yawns, called for the boot
Jack, in evidence of his intention to
retire for the night.
