BROAD DAYLIGHT HoLD-UP.

Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 16, 1919.
Last Friday morning, Mrs. Alice
Bradley left her home, 1908 E. Lenda
street, and boarded car for the
city, got off near 4th and Main and
started for the Mansion hotel where
she was employed, but before reach
ing the hotel just one block east,
a well dressed and polite gentle
man approached her and informed
her that he wanted to rent a room
and that she had been highly recon-
mended to him and upon being told
that he could get. the room, he in
sisted upon her returning to her
home that he might see the room.
She agreed, when the gentle man
saw the room, he was well pleased
with it and also the price offering
to pay rent 'out of $1,000 bill, say
ing that he had friend who would
also take quarters there. Mrs. Brad
ley told him she could not change
the bill, SO they both board the car
for the city. On reaching 9Th and
Main, they disembarked and there
met the gentlemans friend who was
introduced to her, after a few words,
Mrs. Bradley left the two men stand
ing on main street and when she
had gotten a half block on 5th and
made one or two steps in the alley
to adjust her waist, she looked be-

lieved her of a package which she
had taken from her bosom while
on the car and made the getaway.
This little package contained $4,000.
Mrs. Bradley reported the case at
once giving a minute description of
the pair who were then speeding
their way to Dallas on an Interurban
car only to find out-stretched arms
waiting for them. One of the men
eluded the officers. The other man
was returned to Fort Worth, when
he was identified, although he had
changed teeth, the pearly set with
gold plugs was in his pocket and
another set of false teeth had taken
its place. After locating some money
in his pockets, some in his sox, and
some strapped to his naked leg in

rubber bands, $4,000 in all. The
highwayman made clean breast OF
the affair. intermating that he had
no thought of the package, which Mrs.
Brady carried, contained money, but
jewelry. He had pleasant smiles
when discussing the case and giving
out that Fort Worth was only one

HAIRCUT NEARLY RUINS BIG
 FILM PLAY
But Quick Art and Grape
 Hair Saves the Day.

One of the extra players at the V1tagraph studio in Brooklyn got a haircut the other day and almost ruined the film "The Winchester Woman" in which Alice Joyce is the star. A piece of black crepe saved it.
 It happened after the picture had been completed that a portion of the scenes in which the extra player in question was appearing had become logged on the film. It was necessary to retake the scenes.
 In the meantime several weeks had elapsed, and the player, whose part was that of a scraggIy haired. trampish individual had gone out and had a shave, shampoo, massag ge and haircut. He looked like a thou sand dollars when he an@wered the summons to return for work

There was some tall thinking for a few minutes, when finally a make up artist announced he could fix up the player. He did it by fashfoning arti- ficiaI layers of hair with strings of black crepe at the fringe of the play CTS real crop.

In the beginning of his career, the humorist was a trick lariat throw CT, with a few casual interspersions of casual comment on the world. The audiences liked these so much that he increased his verbal and discon- tinued his physical energy until his rope became a mere peg to hang his ideas on, as Shakespeare might have said in Hamlet's soIiloquy, speaking 2 of mixed metaphors.
 Just when he was so successful that people began saying, 'It's clever, but is it acting?" he fooled them again. He went into the motion pictures, and made good. Will Rog- CTS has shown in GOldwyn Pictures. particularly in Almost a Husband, 5 that he is just as capable of acting as he is of testing. He registers on his face Cthe homeIiest in the uni verse, he -claims) the full humor that folks thought he could only register, on his tongue. And he registers more, in the movies; pathos, love and equally fine emotions.

WEST END

At a wornan's club in a large east ern city, a vote was recently taken. in the midst of a serious discussion of the psychology of emotions, as to which actor on the motion picture screen made the most effective lover.
 The vote on that occasion of mo- ment, fell almost unanimously to William Farnum, whose picture Wolves Of the Night had just been shown on the screen in that city. with F'arnum giving a. powerful and fas- cinating portrayal of a lover and husband.
 This same picture will appear here at the West End theatre. tonight and tomorrow and women, and especially men, who want to clear up long standing perpIexities as to what sort of actor will win the vote of a re- prcsentative body of women, young and old, married and single, would do well to see William Farnum in Wolves of the Night one of the most intense film dramas he has yet made.
 Incidentally, Manager N. c. Lund of the West End theatre. adds a new jolt to the psychology of the matter by declaring that this Farnum pic. ture will draw as many men as wo1n- cn and crowds of both.

 He Is positive that Carl sanderson (played by A. Lloyd Lack) knows its location. He deduces that the ex- pIosive is g ttme-bonb, and that it must be attached to the big clock.
