Yesterday afternoon the players and
Miss West were continued in $500 bail

dirty play. I never wrote any dirt or
filth. l have my own style of writing. !"

played baby vanp" parts in small
time vaudeville, faces possible sentence
of three years, having been convicted
of a similar offense last year when 20.
