Jenness in his alleged Illegal traffic
in liquor.
Tho Federal officers with Deputy
Sheriff Willis A. Pinllham went to the
Jenncss place Friday afternoon, but
a diligent search failed to disclose
any contra band. Young Jenness was
bi ought in to this city however on

before going to the Jenness place he
had some 5000 on his person which

House, South Sea Love-" produced
by William Fox, will close its run at

night.
South Sea Love" gives that
spritely player a freer dramatic

unreels a story that is colOrfui and
interesting, the South Sea Islands
and the Southern waters providing
an incomparably inspiring back
ground for the tumultous action.
Miss Mason is supported by high
ly accomplished cast.
The prominence of South Sea
Loves engagement is declared by
the manager to be wholly significant
insofar as the production runs TO
only six reels. Rarely. he says, is a
powerful story compressed into such
small reelage. When this happens,
he continues, the resultant photoplay
has a wallop never attained by its
more longitudinal brothers. From the
standpoint of the audience these
short films are advantages. What
ever time one enters the theatre, the
film is not SO long as to make one
impatient for it to start over again
