Hawkshaw Had Nothing
On william J. Burnsi

. Detective methods OF the most scien-
tific and modern sort play such an I'M
portant part in. The Argyle Case" In
which Robert Warwick made his initial
appearance as an independent star at
the Strand Tbeater today. that 1t was
considered advisable to obtain the best
technical advice necessary. SO that the
picture might be perfect in every detail.
William J. Burns, the internationally
famous detective. was consulted by
Harvey ]. O'Higgins and Harriet Ford
when they wrote the original play. and
he consented to act In a similar ca
pacity Of adviser to Robert Warwick.
There has been scarcely one important
criminal case of national note in the
last fifteen years in which Detective
Burns has not played a leading role.
The deeds which writer's of fiction at
tribute to such mythical personages as
Sherlock Holmes and NJ. Lecoq have
been paralelled by Burns in actual prac-
tice. Coming to the fore nrst in the
Haywood d-Moyer-Pettibone trial. he has
been In the limelight ever since.
William J. Burns was the first to use
the dictograph to obtain evidence from
criminals themselves direct. He invented
the prepared blotter." by means of
which fngerprints could be obtained
without arousing the suspicious Of the
subject With a trick pen. the fingers
o fthe subject are smeared with ink. and
in a moment the evidence OF identity Is
recorded. Both of these important de-
vices Of the modern detective are en-
ployed in THE Argyle Case" exactly
as Detective Burns has used them in
many OF his big cases.
As a result OF Detective Burns efforts
The Argyle Case" is the first detective
film production which will stand the
closest scrutiny.
