(United Press Staff CoTrespondent)
Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 29.-Phila-
delphia, third largest city of the
United States, is surpassed by few
in illicit booze trade.
Liquor, mostly rye and bourbon
whisky withdrawn on fraudulent
permits from government ware
houses. is easily obtained here. II
was brought out in a recent In
vestigation that more than mil
lien and a half dollars worth OF
booze was brought here by the
bootleggers' ring in collusion with
crooked dry officials.
s4Gimme Whisky
Perhaps the places where whisky
can be obtained with the least diff
ficulty are the saloons where it
is sold openly over the bar. A GUS
toner doesn't have to call it by a
ccmouf1aged name, either. He just
steps up to the barkeeper and says
Gimme a whisky" and it is i'm
mediately produced.
Next come the restaurants and
hotels. Liquors, including cham
payne, gin, vermouth, brandy and
others can be purchased at these
places as we'll as whisky.
BELL hops" can furnish hotel
patrons with any quantity or quail
ity of whisky desired Roof gar
ocns dispense it almost as freely
as in pre-prohibition days. Despite
raids on fashionable restaurant
and cafes, they still sell the Ii
quor.
Bars in Clubs.
Some fashionable clubs with
prominent men as members have
their own private and, in sons
| cases, concealed bars.
That taxicab drivers are in league
with the bootleggers was apparent
when the correspondent hailed I
| cab and asked the driver to convey
him to a drink of liquor. Within
a few minutes the cab drew up be
! fore a cafe where liquor was be
ing dispensed openly.
Some of the bootleggers have reg
ular "I1tfkmen's s routes mostly ii
districts where wealthy people live
In these cases, a small bell, tinklet
by the "vender,' calls the head o
the house to the door. The ordeI
for the liquor is given and is i'm
mediately filled.
BOOtleggers Everywhere.
Prices for whisky range from
$3.50 a quart upwards. When pur
chased over the bar at saloons
costs so cents a drink At res
taurants liquor can be bought from

agents everywhere. A young ma
approached the correspondent in a.
office building yesterday and aske'
if he wished to buy a quart or NOR
CT good bonded whisky. He offerer
to produce "a sample (about tw
drinks) to prove that it is goo
stuff"
He said that the man he was so
liciting for got the whisky from

wonderful picture. Deception" opens

I have before me the utterances OF

the Chicago Tribune Of Sunday. May r.
Here is the Mae Tinee article on the
European invasion:'
Passion" and Deception two aliens
in our midst, are attracting a lot Of
comment and conjecture among those
who follow the trend OF the cinema.
The fact that they are German films,
made during the war. and, undoubtedly
displayed In Germany as propaganda at
that time is what has started the
buzzing regarding them. Their excellence
from the standpoint Of workmanship has
sustained the interest.

TINNEY, MARTYR
TO ART OCCUPIES
COT IN HOSPITAL

CHICAGO, June 4-Speaking again OF
operations
There's Frank Tinney, comedian, lying
toes up ca a hospital cot with frowns
all over his funny face.
"Why all the gloom?" he was asked.
''It your lash customers ever saw that

How, oh. ask you how can a man

Tinney, who on the stage doubles as

toy pianos and trick tin horns.
IT guess they thought the supply Of
golden harps would run out by the time

The star Of Tickle Me" had this to
say about his hospital treatment:
The hours are too irregular here. They
wake me up at 9 a. m. and that's when
I've been used to going to bed.
They give me a shot In the arm at
noon, another at night and then shoot me
again at sunrise.

but little by little this false informa-
ton preys on the mind of Julian, and
he begins to suspect his wife's ndelity.
The wagging tongues Of the busy
bodies and scandal mongers soon force
Ernesto to leave the house Of Julian.
He becomes desperate and challenges one
Of his hecklers TO a duel, but Julian takes
it upon himself to defend the honor Of
his wife, and is MORALLY wounded. The
outcome of this gossip bred triangle is
particularly dramatic.

DECEPTION TO START SECOND WEEK
of Engagement ut Locus State Sunday

Deep, abiding woman's love for tickle
king is the keynote of DECEPTION" a
remarkable Paramount picture which will
begin the second week of it's engage
ment Sunday at Loew's State.
Kenny Porten and Emil Jannings, two
of the most celebrated screen stars of
Europe, where the picture was filmed,
have the leading roles, those of Anne
Boleyn, the queen, and Henry VIII, King
Of England.
Miss Porten vests the role Of Anne with
impressive majesty and dramatic force,
while Mr. Jannings, as the deceitful
king and hero Of a hundred more or less
savory love affairs, is artistic In the
highest degree. Annes beauty wins her
a throne, but Henry's ardor soon cools
and many scenes Of great dramatic power
ensue Throughout her trials following
the birth OF a daughter, when Bluff King
Hal had expected a son and heir, Anne's
love for her lord and daughter sustains
