He's brilliant man of quick wit.
His answers to questions made many
a magistrate ridiculous in preliminary
Investigations.
Testimony and affidavits against
Landru on closely typewriter sheets
fill several huge trunks And Landr1l
now says his eyes have been ruined
reading them and that he'll ask dam
ages from the French government!
Everyone is asking how Landru
won his sweethearts' affections. For
the police say he killed only IL of 73
women whom he wooed Landru's
not ladies' man-he's past SO, bald,
with shaggy beard and not at all
handsome. He paid little atttntion
to dress.
Those are angles that are interest
ing to court hangers-on, criminolo-
gists and everyone who reads about
the case
What's the evidence against Ian
dru?
Only a pile of bones found in his
country house at Gambais. Some ex-
perts say they're human bones. 9th
ers deny it.
Articles of female apparel also were
found and parts of bodies we're dis
covered in lake nearby.
And the statements of Gambais res
idents that Landru kept a fire at his
furnace in midsummer when coal was
high priced and hard to get.
This, coupled with the fact that IL
women who were known to have been
friendly with Landru, suddenly van
ished. has caused the police to con-
struct this theory:
That Landru courted IL women,
aged from 20 to go. lured them to bis
country home, murdered them and
burned their bodies in the basement
furnace!
How can they prove their theory?

calls on James.
interviewing the twins is a puzzle
in itself. Looking directly at one of
them, for instance, you ask:
How did you come to keep so
young, James, in spite of your 80
years?"
And the other one answers:
Hard work! That's all there is to
it. If had retired like several of my
friends did, | would have been dead
years ago.
Quitting ones life work to spend
time at ease kills quickly. The way
to live is to keep your interest in your
farm, your business or whatever work
you are following"
And then the other one, Joel-or
mavbe it's James-explains:
Freedom from worry has been my
chief aid in reaching a ripe old age.
Just eat what you want in moderation
Don't read about and think about
symptoms of sickness and you will
stay well lot longer"

Joel-or 4James-believes he and his
brother are the oldest twins in the
United States. And James-or Joel
adds, l reckon so.''
Both the twins are married. Joel
or maybe it's-no, it's Joel-has
seven children. James hasn't any.
One of the brothers recently cele-
brated his Goth wedding anniversary.
Neighbors aren't just sure which one
it was.
Anyway, there isn't any question as
to how they feel about how long they
are going TO live.
For both James and Joel-or Joel
and James-reply:
Well live until we die, anyway"
And, for that long, it seems that the
friends of the twin-brother farmers.

James or whether James is Joel.

Landru, known the world over as
''Buebeard," is charged with having
slain 10 women whom he married OF
pledged to marry and the son of one

Landru has been imprisoned for
two years awaiting trial. Not because
the French authorities delayed-but
because Landru. with his keen knowl-
edge of French law, always raised
some legal obstacle when an attempt
was made to bring him to trial.
In those two years Landru has be-
come better known than any living
Frenchman. Musical comedies even
have been staged in Paris with Lam
dru as the central character.
Real Thrills
Why? Because the case is filled
with more unusual sensational and
comic angles than any criminal case
in the last decade. Here are some of
them:
The best of Paris worsd-famed de-
won international regulations BY un-
covering spy plots in the war.
To collect evidence for the trial the
notice carried on billboard advertis-
ing campaign. They tackled up big red
posters bearing Landru's photograph
and this inscription: IF this man
has made love to you or anyone you
know. inform the policei"
Landru is an expert contortionist
and is willing to go through his tricks
for the amusement of court fans or
prison visitors. He often laughs and
makes witty sallies in the courtroom.

Landru was model mana

loving father-until he was so. when
his career of mixed love and murder
is alleged to have begun.

Bergdoll has been the target Of nu-
merous attacks Of the American Le-

a reward Of $500 was offered for his
capture and a number Of Legion posts
in many parts OF the country took
similar action to bring about his cap

urging the President to demand the
release Of the two Americans who tried
to ecoye Bergdoll In Germany.

1t was amid these hazardous circum-
stances that Romance" had it's run,
1t had been transferred to the Lyric,
following few weeks at the Duke of
fork's, and Doris Keane established
herself as one of the most popular and
sklllful players on the London stage.
Owen Mares withdrew from the cast
at the end of the second season. and II
was then that Basil Sydney was en-
gagged for the role of the young clergy
man, Tom Armstrong. Sydney had won
high reputation by his performance
of Oswald in Ibsen's "Ghosts" the
while he was spending his days in the
London War Office, having been in
validcd home from the front. He and
MISS heane were married just prior to

crowds began to gather outside the
Lyric as early as o'clock in the morn

players characteristic of London. By
the time the hour of performance ar
rived there was a hard job for the
police. After the final curtain the audi
ence surged to the footlights and called
Miss Keane and Mr. Sydney to the
stage. There was an impromptu recep-
ton, and it was full hour before the
curtain could be lowered

then produced Avery Hopwood's "No-
body's Widow" played here by Blanche
Bates, which Miss Keane acted under
the name Of "Roxanna." She appeared
in this comedy for nine months. Then
she essayed Juliet, with Mr.. Sydney as
Romeo. This she played for another
three months, closing when the Lyric
passed into the hands of Sir Alfred
Butt.
Miss Keane returned to this country
in the fall of 1919, and began prepara-
tions for the perturbation of "Ro-
nance" The screen version was made
at the Griffith studios at Mamaroneck
and was completed early in 1920. From
that time until she made her reappear-
ance on the stage in her old role of
Cavallini Miss Keane enjoyed a we'll
earned vacation. The revival of the
play-or rather the presentation of it
anew-took place at the Playhouse on
February 20.

New Klauber Production

Adolph Klauber, who has original
ideas about the ways in which things
should be done, is conducting rehearsals
OF the new play by J ohm Hunter Booth,
Like King" which he will present
to an out-oftown audience late this
month in novel fashion. When the
cast assembled for the first rehearsal it
found, instead of the bare boards and
dim light usually furnished for the
actors who are supposed to work up
pep" ginger" and enthusiasm for
their own show, full stage set, with
every prop" in place, doors, fireplaces
and davenports all in the identical
spots they will occupy when the piece
is presented to the public. With this
opportunity to familiarize itself with
the settings it is only safe to say that
the whole company will feel quite at
home when it comes into New York
theater.

good figure" BY the time he had re-
peated half the play we began to think
we weren't going to have such a pleas
ant evening after all and then a
blessed usher came and told them they
were in the wrong row. They just
found their seats alone, probably, with
Dick showing them the way. Any way
Dick said to Cousin Emma, "We're in
f Row and the usher says we are to
go to H." And we wanted to tell him
that we agreed with the usher.
She was person Of discernment.
And then the curtain went up and
Tallulah Bankhead and Katharine Cor
nell and Miss Larrimore began to toss
Rachel Crothers's comedy about and
you hadn't time to think Of anything
else. But. Dick had q good memory;
all of the lines which he repeated were
there. And finally after Miss Larri
more had told Edwin Hensley and
Hugh Huntley that she wouldn't marry
them and Robert Ames that she would
marry him. the curtain went down and
we went back stage. 1t was only a
couple of minutes, but Miss Larrimore
already had on her street things, so
the men were allowed to go in, too.
They were S. Jay Kaufman and the
man from Boston. Mr.. Kaufman pre-
tended he thought We came to inter
view him, and he said: "Now, believe

fact that I never"-- Get out" said
Miss Larrimore with apparent irrele-
vance. "Im the one to be inter
viewed; and then she told US what
we have put in the opening paragraph
THAT isn't what you must say in an
interview" persisted Mr.. Kaufman.
you must say how much you'd like to
do Ophelia and how you have gained
what small success you have by your
own efforts and that the only way to
succeed is to work hard and never
be discouraged" Miss Larrimore gave
him scornful look, but did not deign
to reply. 1t would be as impossible
for Miss Larrimore to be bromide as
it would be for camel "to do some
thing or rich man to do something
else to the eye of needle" to quote
Nice People" and to misquote Scrip
