BOLD DAYLIGHT
BURGLAR L0OTS
JEWELRY STORE
jenkins Suffers Loss of
$500 From Visit of
Thief

Working quickly and efficiently,
a sneak thief entered jenkins Jew
elry store at 59l Main street yes
t2rday afternoon between ! and =
O'Clock, and made away with jew
elry valued at Approximately $500,
including number of watch
charms, rings and iewcled pencils.
Entrance to the store was obtain
ed through the rear door, which is
locked with two locks and Il sliding
bar. The glass in the door was
broken by the thief, who then reach
ed in and unlocked Il snap lock. a
paddock WAS then pricd off and the
sliding bar shifted, allowing a free
entry.
The thief evidently watched his
chance and when the coast was
clear, walked to the front of the
store, and lifted the contents to the
rear of the store, where it was i'm
possible for him to be seen from
the street
The burglary was discovered when
Rodney jenkins visited the store
'Apbul r. III. anu IOtLCtN lHt tuh-
tents of the window were missing.
He notified the police and investiga
tion showed u fresh, trail leading
from the rear of the store down the
alley and to the lot next to Ba-
shores Auto shop on State street.
Wheel marks at that point showed
the burglar had Il car parked there
in which to make his getaway.
The trail was broken at nearly
every rear door along the alley, as
evidence that the burglar had tried
to obtain entrance into other stores
in the block, but evidently had not
succeeded The rear door of Jen-
kins' store is hidden from the alley
by a high fence, thus affording an
excellent place for the burglar to
work without mach fear of being
seen. ..,,

THEATERS
welcome HOME FAMILY
comedy RICH IN HUNOR

"Welcome Home" the James Cruise
Paramount production, which win be
shown at the Weir Theater on Fri
day and Saturday next, is described
as a story rich in hunor of the sort
that carries a heart-tug with it.
Lois Wilson, Warner Baxter and
Luke Cosgrave, the old rheumatic in
Hollywood" are featured in the
principal roles Of the picture, adapted
for the screen by Walter Woods and
F. McGew Willis from Broadway
stage play by Edna Ferber and
George S. Kaufman.
The story is one of an old man
a widower-Who comes to the city
to live with his married son and
daughter-in-law and so upsets things
that the wife tells the husband that
either his father or she win have to
leave at once-the two of them can't
get along together under the same
roof. But leave it to Cruze to
straighten everything out in salts
factory, not to say most amusing
fashion.
Appearing in support Of the lead
ing players are such well know names
as Ben Hendricks, Margaret Morris,
Josephine CrowelI, Adele Watson and
others.
Everyone recalls the heart-interest
and genuine appeal Cruze crammed
into "The Goose Hangs High" Here's
one that's just twice as human-twice
as real.
