BOBBYHARRONSHOT
BY FALLING PISTOL
Screen Star in New York Hos
pitaI Following Peculiar
Accident.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Robert Har-
ron. best known to moving picture
fame as the hero in Hearts Of the
World" and now starring in his own
pictures, the Robert Harron Produc-
tions, shot himself accidentally early
yesterday morning in his room at
the Hotel Seymour and is in q critical
IeenditioBs In Bslisvue HospitaE 1.
eHskrUn{ Who Is tEehty.n years
looks as depicted on the screen have
evoked mAidenly sighs the world over,
was. fighting hard for HE when hts
managers got late report from the
hospital ana, though he had lost
much blood. they entertained some
hope of his recovery.
II he gets we'll, he will have to face
a charge OF violating the Sullivan law
for, as soon as he had received frst
aid. Patrolman Yarcznski placed him
under formal arrest and he. was
moved to the prison ward at the
hospital. An uncle, Thomas Harron.
hurried from Mamaroneck when he
heard of his. nephew's misfortune He
went to the police station and the
hotel for details of the accident and
then hurried to Bellevue to be with
the young star. At the station he
said he would remain here to look
after the young mans interests and
to furnish bail for him IL he should
be able to leave the hospital.
The police did not learn how Har-
ron happened to have a pistol with
out a permit, but the supposition
arose that he probably had used 1t
at one time or another in, some OF the
many pictures in which he has ap-
peared. He became a screen favorite
at IA while he was an office boy in
the Office of D. w. Griffith. Griffith
saw the possibilities of his appear
ance and personality, and gave him
a. small part. His success ended his
Office boy days.
Harron. known among his as
sociates as a quiet winning, modest
young fellow, was a great favorite at
the hotel, and the accident caused
profound regret there.
He had just dressed. preparing, to
70 to the studio, where he was engag-
cd in acting for The Brass Bowl
and for some reason not learned, lift
ed some clothes from trunk. The
pistol fell to the floor and exploded,
the bullet lodging in his chest.
He telephoned to the office for help
and Manager Montgomery hurried to
his room on the ninth floor. Harron
was smiling and remarked through
set teeth: b.
I'm in a devil of a nx; rve shot
myself"
MONTGOMERY assured him his condi-
tion was no joke. but Harron refused
to allow an ambulance to be called.
insisting upon the summoning OF a
focal physician. only when II prov
cd one could not be found immediate
Iy did he. consent that a call be sent
to police headquarters for Bellevue
ambulance. Then he denurred at the
stretcher and wanted to be taken
in a chair.
Theodore Mitchell Of Twenty
eighth Street, Beachhurst l.. l., last
night furnished $500 bail in the
Night Court before Magistrate Edgar
v. rockingham for the release as a
prisoner in the hospital of Harron.
