Gently tried him on a charge of war
time desertion The decision of the
court was approved by Major General
Nobert Lee Bullard, commander of the
Department of the East, and was made
public by Lieutenant Colonel Charles
Z. Cresson, the trial judge advocate.
Colonel Cresson said that Bergdoll
would be sent to Fort Leavenworth at
once. The prisoner surrendered to the
military authorities at Governors
Island July 21. He entered a plea of
not guilty. Colonel Cresson held that
the case against Bergdoll was clear,
as he had complied with all the regula-
tons of the draft up to the require
ment for his appearance for final ex-
animation.
Bergdoll Is q resident of Broomall,
Delaware County, Pa. His defense at
the trial was that he was q farmer and
the draft board had no right to take
him from that necessary occupation.
Besides four years at hard labor, he
will forfeit his citizenship. He is
"dishonorably discharged from the
army and all pay and allowances are
forfeited"
Bergdoll was a fugitive for almost
two years. He is quoted as having
said ct the conclusion of the trial that
he would rather break stones than
roam around the country q hunted

been convicted of wartime deserton

Mollie Williams Discovers
"Jazz" Plunkett at Lib
erty Bond Rally.

, Mollie Williams has brought her
own Greatest Show" to the Gayety
j Theater this week.
1t is one of those different" shows
which come along every now and
, then that catch the fancy of even
the most bored theater-goer.
Miss williams is in a position to
know absolutely just what the pub
I lie wants. Her career has been an
intensely interesting one. She en-
tered the show business as a chorus
girl. and by her real ability and
ambition. has risen step by step to
! her present position as owner. Her
i wise knowledge of actors and acting
is exemplified in the remarkable
success of her latest protege, Cy
| ("Jazz") Plunkett. The story of
how she discovered him is interest
| ing.
During the war she was present
at Liberty Bond meeting in New
4 York. The chairman in charge had
| called all the sailors and soldiers
in the house up on the stage and
called on the audience to buy bonds
for their support. Still they did not
respond as we'll as was desired
Then a sailor spoke to the chairman
1 and gaining his consent, came to
the front of the stage and announced
/ that If anyone would buy a $500
bond he would entertain them with
a song.
The bond was soon bought, where
upon the sailor asked for the loan
| OF a derby, which he perched on
his head. A couple of shuffies of
his feet and he asked the orchestra
to play AT the Darktown Strutters'
, Ball" He sang and danced. and
when he had finished the house
roared its appreciation and demanded
an encore. More purchasers for
/ $500 bonds persuaded the sailor to
repeat his performance.
Miss Williams was there and she
! told the "gob" that whenever he
wanted IT, there was a job for him
with her show. The sailor. as yc>,
have realized. was Cy cJazz")
| Plunkett. After he had served his
| enlistment. lie came to Mollie Will
| Jams and she made good her prom
! Use. From the outset he made q hit
| and has already earned the name
I of The Bert Williams 'of Bur-
| lesque"
The other comedian OF the sf )w
! IS Teddy M'NanIara, who, prior to
! Mollie Williams discovery of him.
was playing small parts in small
| time vaudeville.
After watching him at two per-
formances, Miss Williams saw that
everything he said or did was orig
inal: she saw that he could dance
and that he had a fund OF real
humOr that was. being wasted in
such company. She engaged him
and he, too, is making a big hit cv-
erywhere. All of which is proof OF
Miss Williams knowledge of what
the public wants, which she gained
in her climb from the bottom of the
ladder to the top.
