COWBOY DENNIsON SPEAKS
WITH DAGGERs POINT.

One twist OF his wrist was all that
Louis Bennison needed 20 send his
dagger through the air and nail the
hand OF an escaping murdered to the
window frame through which he was
leaping, in his latest Betzwood picture,
High Pockets" which will be seen at
the Pastime Thursday.
Louis Bennison's experiences with
the pistol and the rife is we'll known
to his many admirers; but few are
familiar with his ability as a dagger
thrower Early in Mr.. Bennison's ca
reer, he was picked up by a travelling
circus and in the course of his many
and varied duties, learned how to
throw a dagger with such accuracy
that he could outline the form OF a
man in dagger point on a vertical
board at a distance of twenty feet.
This training has been put to use in
his newst picture, which Goldwyn is
distributing. His gun is held in its
holster by the murderer's sweetheart,
so Louis Bennison whips out his dag
ger as the criminal is jumping through
window and nails his hand to the
door.
Although a dummy hand was used to
show the dagger find its way home,
the photography and laboratory work
in this section of the picture is so ex-
cellent that a closeup seems to reveal
the living hand transfixed with the
dagger Pastime Thursday, June 3.

respondents went before Demetrios
GOunaris, minister OF war. and
George Rhallis, premier, today and
complained that press censorship
established during the Venizelos

during fusilades bullets cut and in
1ured is overhead wire systems,
and that this was responsible for
any delays that have occurred.

ship was still in operation it was
due to the fact that some corre-

they were in favor Of the former
German emperor. This was declar-
ed to be untrue.

over the situation. They assert
