being attacked by machine gunners,
has decided to go into the real
estate business.
Police made the discovery last

they found a machine gun loaded
with q clip of so spreading bullets;
two large automatic pistols and a

for protection. He said that any
connection with gangsters he may
have had has been brok-
en-. He had decided to become a
real estate dealer.

Posses Still Hunt
for Missing Youth

Foley. Mimi, May 15.-(AP)-
Citizens from Little Falls and near
by communities today joined in the
hunt for 4-year-old George Robit-
cheski, who disappeared last Thurs
day when he went to get some bait
for two older brothers.
Between 300 and 400 persons to-
day were still searching for the boy.
Late. Thursday and Friday blood
hounds from Waterloo, Iowa, were
used in the hunt. The hounds car
ried the child's scent from the
stream, where the boys brothers
were fishing, to the highway and
then picked up the scent of a man,
but lost it after five miles. Satur-
day the hounds were sent back to
Iowa.
Sheriff Paul Felix Of Little Falls,
Morrison county, today said that he
would not request aid of state troops
as an adequate number of persons
have volunteered to aid in the
search. Waters in the creek and
above the dam were dynamited in
the belief that the boy may have
been drowned, but without result.

Plot Is Fascinating, a Quality
Always Found in Noted Act
Or's Plays-Miss Franc Hale
Does Excellent Work as
Lending Lady of Cast
BY MARJORIE BROCKMAN

Once more Bismarck has been
privileged to greet Walker White
side. Last evening he appeared at
the city auditorium in "Sakura," an
Oriental drama Of domestic and
political Japan.
The plot Of "Sakura" is fascinat-
ing. a quality generally found in
Whiteside's plays. The tone and
color Of the Old World is woven in
to the drama, giving a harsh and
cold finish to New World sugges-
tions in the land of the Nipponese.
"Sakura" was rich in colorful set
tings, while some especially fine
lighting effects were produced.
In praise of Walker Whitcside
there remains little to say. To
those who have sought his perform
ances before, he remains ageless and
inimitable. Whether as Prince
Hagane, Mr.. WI, The Arabian, or
IN another role his mannerisms are
his own. He is gracefully languor-
Gus and yet capable Of electricity of
action. Mr.. Whiteside has a re-
markable speaking voice, rich in.
resonance and beautifully con-
trolled.
AS Prince Hagane in "Sakura,"
Walker Whiteside was majestic in
the regal robes of japan, and vet he
did not lose contact for orc moment
with the modern world. Praying to
his gods he was a Japanese, but the
lift of an eyebrow or the flick of
ash from his cigarette gave him the
air of statesman of the Continent.
The show may go on around Walker
Whiteside but he is the central
figure. standing immobile or at the
height of action. His performances
may best be interpreted as white
sidean." x
Miss Franc Hale gave an artistic
of the character of
Onda Sada. Miss Hale is as frail
and delicate as Sakura, the wild
cherry blossom, and her voice and
lovely hands were her instruments
IN offering an artistic performance.
Her mannerisms were peculiar to
The quaint customs of the Nippon
ase. Miss Hale's emotional scenes
we're well done.
This is Miss Hale's first appear
ance in Bismarck, although she is
not a stranger to this state. She is
