rBrunskill can stand while the
count is being made.
He is either opposed to the
gangsters and their allies or he
is with them and he is welcome
to ride either horn he chooses.
The Saturday Press was in
formed BEFORE THE FIRST
ISSUE, that the "City Halp'
was receiving twenty-five per
cent of the profits from the
gambling joint owned and OPP
Grated by the Twin City Re-
porter, Moe Barnett and "Red"
Clare! We were told that the
weak sister" of the combina-
ton was CHIEF OF POLICE
BRUNSI<ILL and that the first
cheat" placed under the chief
would automatically close the
gambling JOINT AND THE
JOINT CLOSED WHEN THE
'GANGMEN'S GUN BROUGHT
H. A. UILFORD TO
DEATHS DOOR. Wish that
one away, Chief.
Bear this in mind, you who
read these lines:
The gambling syndicate OPP
Grating the den at 818 Henne-
pin Avenue was composed of
men who are residents of the
city. The gunner who shot
MI. Guilford down are resi-
dents of this city. The con-
spiracy, the plot to murder him
was concocted within the city
limits of Minneapolis AND
THE GUNNER AS SOON AS
THEY HAD SHOT H. A.
GUILFORD FLED ACROSS
THE MUNICIPAL BOUN-
DAIRY INTO THE CITY-not
away from it!
They had been instructed to
shoot Guilford INSIDE the
city limits and they Numbered
to the extent of ONE HUN
DRIED FEET but they didn't
know it until Sheriff Earle
Brown of Hennepin County ar
rested them. Is it reasonable
to s1ppose-is it not preposter-
Gus to assume THAT if these
hired killers had not been as
sured of protection once they
were inside the city limits
THEY WOULD HAVE FLED
D r E G. TLY TO THEIR
HOMES AND REPORTED
BACK TO THEIR HENNEPIN
AVENUE RENDEZVOUS?
And from whom were they
to secure protection?
, Most assuredly not from the
County authorities ELSE T!IEY

Minneapolis. Did Moe Barnett,
gambler, gangster, TELL THE
TRUTH when he said that the
Getty HALF was the fourth
beneficiary of the gambling

himself and these others, at

Friends, it begins to look as

Upon what grounds did
Brunskill issue his orders to
stop the sale of this paper OIL

1t could by no stretch of inn

FOUND

Women directors for women

stars.
And that's not such far-tetched
possibility as It might scund--es.
pecially ii view of the interesting
situation that has resulted from
the recent work of Esther Ralston,
the young Paramount star.
Miss Ralston, under the exclll.
slve direction OF men for her first
few pictures. was regarded almost
solely az 3 model, or Z pretty
figure on which 70 hang clothes
and parade "a front Of the camera
for pretty and attractive shots.
Then, III defiance Of all the
traditional moving picture preju-
dice against women directors Dor.
othy Arzner was made q director
by Paramount and her first
picture was Esther Ralston In
"F,ashions for Women" and her
second was Esther Ralston IN.
Ten Modern Commandments"
And 1t remained for the critics
Of the screen to discover that Miss
Arzner had done what her men
directoriaI rivals had failed to do,
that Is, see the hurnor and the
charm OF Esther Ralston's char
acter and successfully transfer
them on to the screen. Critics
were astonnded. they said. to dis
cover that Miss Ralston had real
emotional and acting ability as
well as . distinct flare for
comedy.
All that happened, apparently,
Il. that Miss Ralston always had
the ability and It remained for
Miss Arxner to be clever enough
to discover it and put It on the
screen.
