Leader.

How valuable paintings are smuggled
into this country under the guse of cheap
prints is exposed in the Pallas- Paramount
production "The Bond Between" in
which George Beban is pictured at the
Leader for the first showing in this city.
Mr.. Leban is the author of the story as
well as the star of the production. The
practice was as follows: An art dealer
in Europe would purchase a valuable
painting to pass it into America free of
duty. He would cover the surface with
a preparation and paint a mediocre
sketch in water color on this surface.
Then. waiting for some American art
student to return home. he would entrust
the picture to his care with the request
that 1t be delivered to his friend in New
York. II would be passed safely and de-
livered to an art dealer. who would re-
move the surface and water color, leaving
the rich painting in all it's beauty.
