TWO STILLS ON BARGE
IN THE OHIO RIVER.

Louisville. - Prohibition enforce
ment officers are discussing the clever
arrangement made by moonshine still
operators on a barge destroyed on the
Ohio River. The barge was so equip
ped that had the operators been warn
ed of the approach of the raiders they
could have pulled rope and dropped
all the evidence into the river. William
Jameson, 81, alleged owner, was ar
rested and charged with operating
still. The police were watching on the
Kentucky shore, opposite Towhead
Island for small boys swimming with
out bathing suits. Odor of fermenting
mash was waited on the wind and the
patrolmen followed their noses" to
secluded inlet. Two stills and fifteen
gallons of whisky were found on the
barge and 500 gallons of mash were
found in tent nearby.
After his arrival, ]. L. Asher federal
prohibition agent. destroyed the mash
and stills and then set the barge afire
The rope was burned in few minutes
and the craft floated downstream.

STAGE BEAUTIES IN
AT THE STAGE DOOR"
Billie Dove and Elizabeth North Have
Important Roles In Cabanne
Production.

Still another Ziegfeld beauty has
climbed the heights OF stardom on the
screen She is Billie Dove, whose great
beauty formerly was a decorative fea-
ture of the Ziegfeld Follies and who is
now dividing her time between ap-
pearing in films and playing in the big
Ziegfeld musical hit, sally" in which
this newest of Ziefeld stars has an i'm
portant role. Miss Doves first appear
ance in re Pictures occure in the
William Christy Cabanne production
of AT the Stage Door" a photoplay
of show life to be shown at the Wash
ington Theater Wednesday.
Miss Dove was born less than TWEEN
~ years ago just a few blocks off
Broadway, New York, the famous
street on which she was destined in
later years to win fame and fortune
She began her career at the age of fiji
teen with the Ziegfeld Follies. Later
she appeared in the Midnight Frolic"
and the Nine O'Clock Revue"
When quite young Miss Dove was
IN artists model. She has posed for
some of the most prominent artists of
the day. 1t was while engaged in this
work that she came in touch with the
atrical people. who induced her to
learn to dance. Her dancing, together
with her slender, graceful figure and
great beauty, won high place for her
on the metropolitan stage.
1t was while appearing in the
chorus of the Ziegfeld show that Miss
Dove first attracted the attention of
motion picture folk. She was engaged
to appear in "Get-Rich- Quick-Walling-
fcrdl" Later she had prominent
part in Good for Nothing"
Then came the opportunity to join
the William Christy Cabanne unit
whose productions are distributed by
re Pictures. And while working
eight or ten hours day at the studio.
Miss Dove also appearey every eve
ming in sally" at the New Amsterdam
Theater. There are very few artists
who can work night and day and keep
it up, but Miss Dove seems to be indie
fatigable.
"She dances all night long in Sally

then she comes to the studio next
morning and dances again before the
camera. Between scenes she teaches
the other girls new steps and we can't
get her to rest. have never seen such
a tireless worker"
And with all the dancing and the
gayety of the theater, Miss Doves
chief ambition is to become a screen
star-absolutely.
