PALS YOU WILL BE A MAXIM OF SPOOF 7 AND JIMMY
Beban His PomseBety

"Ghosts" sometimes turn out to be
mighty GOOD pals.
Eh?
You can't agree with me? I probably
should have stated that the ghosts must
be live ghosts.
Anyway, whether you believe 1t or not,
I, myself, and a whole lot of others, who
could crowd into the Alhambra yesterday
afternoon, made pals Of Spoofy, Jimmy
Gubbins and chap by the name of
Foster
Jimmy, Foster, and Spoofy were all
"Buddies" over there-meaning what the
makers Of history term 1.-The World War. "
The three didn't know each other before
the war, but the war made 'em buddies.
They were captured-thrown in a Ger
man prison camp.
The British war Office reported them
dead"
The three pals returned to London to-
gether. Jimmy Gubbins lived in the
Limehouse neighborhood. His mother
drank gin at the public house on money
she obtained from his insurance,
While Mrs. Gubbins was talkin' to the
spirits with the table and the gin she had
drunk as mediums" Jimmy and his
three pals pounded on her front door
just as she was asking the spirits If
Jimmy got his beer regularity "over
there"
Three knocks atre heard on the door.
Three knocks" Mrs Gubbins shutters
That's means he is a gettin' his beer. -
And In walks Jimmy.
Mrs, Gubbins at first thinks Jimmy IL

boy back, but sic tells him that he must
be dead officially" because there is just

ency and the approaching hour OF exc
cution More than a year passes ana
the wife becomes a mother always prov
ing true to her husband.
All hope seems to be lost when the
wife decides to make a desperate attempt
to save her husband. She bleaches her
hair, calclmines her face and goes to
lead the same wild life as the widow OF
the man who was slain. Through months
Of effort she gains the woman's conf
dence and attempts to wiring from her
the story of how. the young husband
died. all the time Of course, keeping hei
identity a secret This proves more diff

she is successful
Meanwhile the husband, waiting in the
death cell, hears of the life his wife is
living and lives in misery as result
The climax comes when the prisoner is
freed as he is being escorted to the
chair.
The picture is tensely dramatic, and,

asks for a red rose, the detective mis-
takes him for a member of SEe gang.
After the detective arrives at the flower
shop to wait for the kidnaper, the ON
Ger calls headquarters for final fnstruc-
tions.
Then the transition from movie play
to that Of a spoken drama takes place
The screen disappears and in its place Is
a stage setting of the flower shop just
as we had seen it on the screen. The
detective is just hanglngs up the receiver
OF the telephone after talking to head
quarters. The, society woman is there
with the money. The trap is set and in
walks the broken hearted Italian as
played by Mr.. Beban.
Mr. Beban is a sincere actor. He
doesn't do things half way. He has
brought with him the members OF the
company who appear in the movie in the
scene he enacts as a spoken drama.
Mr.. Beban makes the best Of his emo
tional opportunities. He knows how to
play upon the heart. II you have tears
prepare TO cry when Mr.. Beban tells Of
the tragic death OFT his little girl.
Supporting Mr.. Beban in person are
Helena Sullivan, Charles II. Elder.
Dorothy Giraci. Gene Cameron. Jeanus
Carpenter and Louise Callamenti
As a picture, The Sign OF the Rose"
is worthy Of the services Of Mr.. Beban.
1t is full Of the stuff that reaches the
heart II is a clean picture-one to
which any father can take his children
without concern.
Al the closo OF the scene in which Mr
Beban and his company appear in per
son the company was given a tre-
mendous ovation.
''I he Sign or the Rose" as presented by
Mr.. Beban is a most satisfying entertsin-
ment.

Last winter about this time, Mr. George
Eeban filed a weeks engagement at tho
Circle.
At that time, he told us that he was
planning 20 make a movie version Of The
Sign OF the Rose which had served him
on the stage both as a play and as a
vaudeville playlet.
Beban gave movie fans something to
look forward to. Yesterday Beban kept
his promise as "The Sign Of the Rose"

the defendant having failed to file an
answer or demurrer to the complaint
within the time allowed by law. Starr,
who for several months carried ''un-

assembly, sued DeForest for alleged
damages of $11. 800 on the grounds that
the defendant injured him in an alterca-
ton that occurred early in February.
Entering Of the default virtually
closes the action unless counsel for
DeForest can present good reasons to
the court for failure to respond to the
complaint, it is stated. His attorneys,
in motion filed in district court Mon

plaintiff to make his complaint more
definite by itemizing the expense he
is alleged to have incurred for medi--
cines, physicians fees, nurses fees and
other hospital expenses and also to be
more definite in his allegations.

AUTOS IN CRASH:
2 DRIVERS FINED
Both Responsible and Each
Pays S25; Lay Blame on
Milk Wagon.

AL Mettler. a merchant. and Burt
Arneson. taxi driver, appeared in
police court Tuesday morning to tell
Magistrate H. 4. Sheppard how their
automobiles collided at Third avenue
south and Eighth street Monday after
noon. After all the evidence had been
submitted Magistrate Sheppard held
that both were responsible for the
crash and fined them S25 each. Arne-
son paid an additional $40 for damag-
ing boulevard tree.
Both defendants placed the RESPONSE
biity for the collision on the driver of
a milk wagon. Mettler claimed that he
was trying to avoid the wagon and the
taxi man asserted that he was unable
to see Mettler's machine because the
wagon obstructed his view. 1t was
shown to the satisfaction of the court
that Arneson had the right of way.
but that he was travelling at speed in
excess of the limit.
Mettler's car was turned over by
the impact Of the other machine and he
was slightly bruised by being thrown
to the pavement. A wheel was torn

Special to The Tribune
Lewistown. March 14.--At Monday
nights meeting of the city council,
Capt. A. c. Birkland. former city en-
gineer, former county engineer and
who served with the engineer corps
in France. submitted a review of the
plan turned in by the Society of En-
gineers regarding the control Of flood
waters and intended to fully protect
Lewistown from flood losses in flu
ture. Mr.. Birkland added number
of quite important suggestions to the
recommendation made by the society
and Mayor Briscoe stated that he
would call public meeting of citizens
engineers and the aldermen in the
near future for the purpose of going
over the whole matter thoroughly.
An application for drivers license
for a juvenile chauffeur developed
the fact that some such permits had
been issued before. in direct violation
of city ordinance, and it was de-
cided to revoke all such licenses and
keep within the law.
The matter of boys under 19 visit
ing pool halls was once more brought
up and specific case complained of.
1t was decided to make an inquiry as
to the facts before taking any action.
