ENLIGHTENMENT and Double
Life Exposed by Arrest
Chicago Banker Steals Amounts Varying From $4,000 to $4,000
Ruins Life of Girl He Duped Into Marriage.

Chicago, July 20.-Max Palenske,
confessed embezzler Of funds from
the Drovers' National bank, said to
approximate from $4,000 to $4,000,
is locked up in the county Jail on a
federal warrant. But embezzlement
was only one of the misdeeds of the
double life Palenske has been living
for months. Another equally SER
ious charge might be preferred
against him-bigamy.
Under the care of a physician is a
young woman heart broken and on
the verge of a physical collapse. She

bank. She was duped into a marriage
to Palenske in Canada last February,
she claims, under the belief he had
obtained a divorce.
1t was years ago Palenske
first met Miss Tobin. He was then
an assistant bank examiner. Miss
Tobin, then only II, had just come to
work at the bank when Palenske met
her during the course of his duties
as examiner.
Pm dead gone on that girl" he
remarked to a friend. Pm going to
get a divorce and marry her"
Knew He Was Married.
Miss Tobin knew Palenske was
married, but he told her he had been
estranged from his wife and was go
ing to get a divorce. He brought her
candy and other presents whenever
he called at the bank.
In 1911 Palenske obtained a posi-
ton as assistant cashier of the Drov-
ers bank, one of the institutions he
had visited in capacity as bank ex-
aminer. He came with a good record
and we'll recommended. Later he was
made auditor as we'll as assistant

OF ACTORS.

Whatawas once viewed as M detri-
mental to their calling is now regard
ed by actors as a blessing in disguise.
The movies are proving the salvation
Of thousands of players who are un.
able to make satisfactory contracts.
Mechanical drama has opened a new
field and created a new demand for
them. .sr
The movies today are paying bet
ter salaries than the managers of the
highest type a pay. They have in
creased the independence of dramatic
stars and widened their orbits.
Managers are feeling the competi-
ton Of the movies. TO some degree
the moving picture has injured high
class drama, but not to an alarming
extent. The movie has performed a
distinct service, however, in practi-
cally driving the yellow melodrama
from the stage.
The moving picture thriller has
usurped the place of "The Troubles
Of; a Laundry Girl" "Why Women
SIM" more To Be Pitied Than scorn.
ed" and hundreds of others which
the acting of Willie Live made mil
lions gasp.
Houses once devoted to melodrama
have been forced to join the ranks of
the movies. The film has created
more "thrillers" to the square inch,
than the old type of melodrama ever
could. %Stagecraft simply could not
make the thriller which the camera
does in alliance with supple actors
and acrobats.
For the demise of the %melodrama
with its stupid dialogue we can thank
the movies. Generally speaking, the
stage has gained rather than lost by
the advent of the mechanical drama.

the divorce had been granted, but
that under the Illinois divorce laws
