The "Ellis Island Soviet" with head

for the anarchists, announced yester-
day that efforts would be made to free
his clients 'on bail if their writs Of
habeas corpus were dismissed by Fed

$4,000 in Liberty bonds in his pos

CHARACTER WORK ISN'T
 ALWAYS APPRECIATED

James Cruze, the motion picture
 director, has appeared in over two
 hundred and fifty photoplays as a
 character actor before he took up the
 directing end of the business. He was
 known as "The master of makeup 9 Cruze is among those who do not be- lieve the good character actor gets anywhere near the credit due him for
 his work. '"The people who go to shows don't care particularly whether
 the character mans work Is good or bad. He can work his head off mak- ing a minute study of a type, do his best in the way of makeup, and then have his efforts go for naught as far as public recognition is concerned. Most movie folk regard them simply
 as folks to fill in the spaces when the star is off the screen. There's more fine. character acting going to waste in the films than any other feature of the business"
