ALFRED GROSS AGAIN,
 BUT IN NU HERO ROLE
Former Local Matinee Idol Arrested Under Mann
 White Slave Act.

News that will come as a painful surprising shock to many in this city. and certainly of interest to all who resided here several years ago dur ing the heydey of the Alfred Cross Players at the Lyceum, is from Du- luth, Minn, where mystery concerning the fate of a young woman who had been missing has been cleared up by her arrest in Los Angeles as a shop litter. and the subsequent arrest of Alfred Cross on a charge of violating the Mann white slave act, preferred by his wife, Florence Hart. equally we'll known here. A news item from Duluth says:
 All Duluth is talking of the strange fate of pretty Myrtle Miles, 22, for mer resident of this city, who was arrested in Los Angeles, Cal. on q charge of shoplifting. Miss Miles, or Miller, which is her real name, is said to have confessed to having stolen jewelry and finery from Los Angeles stores, which she had intend ed to sell to supply 1000 bail for the release of Alfred Cross. former Duluth stock actor and later movie actor, with whom she is infatuated and who is held in Los Angeles on a charge of violating the Mann white slave act. Cross, alias Chopin, was arrested in Los Angeles on complaint of his wife, Florence Hart, an actress of several years standing. who al- lcges that her husband has had the Miles girl in various states and has lived with her as his alleged wife. The Miles girl is held as the principal witness against Cross"
 While in this city as leading man with the Alfred Cross Players, MT Cross was easily the most popular man in New Britain. He was an ideal matinee idol, appeared refined and talented and was entertained by some of the leading families of the city. His personality and attra ctive appearance must have been decidedly pleasing to the feminine eve even then, for quite a furore was created at the time by a flood of endearinc, notes written to him by High school girls. which he turned over to the proper source to prevent any repeti- tion or local scandal.
