MOVIE SCHOOL
IS DISBAN0ED
Police Descend On Overland
Studio and Pupils, Including
Cripples. Are Given Ride

Jealousy and the strong arm Of
the law put an unceremonious end
to the activities OF the Overland
Motion picture school" on the Attn
toor OF the Liggett building. Tues.
day night, when q squad Of free
lance detectives under Lieut.. John
Reid rushed into the place and
seized the books. 2
Fifty embryo movie" stars
were taken to police headquarters
and questioned as to the methods
OF the organization. John Wick. q
former vaudeville actor, the direc.
tor Of the company. was taken
along.
The would-be rivals of c. Chaplin
and Theda Bara were hailed to the
police station after Mrs. Elsa
Hanok. known as Mrs. James Cal
nay. complained that the pupils
were being "neeced" by the man
who Ia known as her husband.
As result OF her bitter anger
against Galway. Mrs. Hslnok started
an investigation into the method OF
the school. She told the police that
she met Galway. who Is In Buffalo
conducting a similar enterprise. In
New York. two years ago. She said
that until recently she had been
living a. his common-law wife.
She left him because he mistreat.
ed her, she said. According to her
story, Galway has never been an ac-
tor and knows nothing OF the bdsi.
ness.
Many OF the pupils were pitifully
disfsured. the police say. and
never could be taught to be actors.
AMER an investigation the police
kept the books and released every
one taken from the place,
Assistant Prosecutor Joseph Po-
piel advised Mrs. Halnok TO consult
the federal authorities tc ascertain
II Galway can be prosecuted under
the Mann act.
