ingenuity was called for; some exquisite pun
ishment more poignant than the shock of
clubs.
MEN of Mr.. Liski's peculiar calling do not
meet their ieutenants in dark cellars, nor
do they wear cloaks or masks to disguise their
identities. The big six who controlled the in
terests of serving Mo LiSh came together on the
night of his release, and the gathering was at
a big restaurant where a private dining room
was engaged in the ordinary way
I'm glad nobody touched him while I was
away said Mo with little smile I'D like to
manage this game myself. I've been doing
some thinking while was in jail, and there's
good way to deal with him.
He had two cops with him all the time or
I'd have got him for you, Mo-" said Teddy
Alfield, his chief of staff.
And I'd have got you, Teddy" said Mr.. Lish
ominously. 'I left orders that he wasn't to be
touched, didn't I? What do you mean by you'd
have got him'?'
Alfeld big-shouldered man, whose speciality
was the picking up Of unattended motor cars,
grew incoherent.
You stick to your job" snarled Mo. "I'n fix
Reeder. He's got girl, young woman who
is always going about with him-Belman's her
name, and she lives nearby opposite his house.
We don't want to beat him up-yet. What we
want to do is to get him out of his job and
he was found at night club, drinking"
He outlined simple plan.
Margaret Belman left her Office one evening
and looked around for Mr.. Reeder Usually, If
his business permitted, he was to be found here
abouts, though of late the meetings had been
very few, and when she had seen him he was
usually in the company of two glum men who
seated themselves on either side of him
She let one car pass and had decided to
catch the second, which was coming slowly to-
ward her, when a parcel dropped at her feet.
She looked around to see pretty, well dressed
woman swaying with closed eyes, and had just
time to catch her by the arm before she half
collapsed.
I'm so sorry-thank you ever so much I
wonder if you would call me taxi?" gasped
the fainting lady.
She spoke with slightly foreign accent, and
had the mdefinable manner of a great lady So
Margaret thought.
Reckoning cab, she assisted the woman to
enter.
would you like to go home with you?"
asked the sympathetic girl.
1T would be good of you" murmured the
lady, but fear TO inconvenience you-it was
no silly of me-"
She recovered sufficiently on the Journey to
tell Margaret that she was Madame Lemaire.
and that she was the widow of French banker
The beautiful appointments of the big house in
the most fashionable part of the city suggested
that Madame Lemaire was a woman of some
wealth. butler opened the door, a hveried
foOtman brought in the tea which madame in
sisted on the girl having with her.
You are too good. I cannot be thankful
enough to you mademoiselle must know you
better. Will you came one night to dinner?
Shall we say Thursday?"

THE point is that whether this type of actor
plays in the tights and feathers of a medieval
swashbuckler or wears a Fifth avenue layout,
he suggests sort of Americanism that Ameri-

for years has been one of Dix's strongest
hackers.
THE point is that, generally speaking men
in the audience like them as heroes as we'll as
women do. In few, if any, pictures do they
overdo the great lover notion; they're seldom Of
the goody variety, either; they generally mix q
little devil raising with their stories And so
they can go on.
"Of course, I know the case of Dix best be-
cause I've been closest to him, though I've often
thought that Wallie Reid, had he lived would

one OF the very successful New York producers

He foresaw the Broadway stage as a training

he felt certain that the vocal training of a
great number Of tomorrow's screen actors would

there would be definite financial arrangement
between the TWO. Far from feeling that the
talkies would hurt the theaters he was certain
that 1t would only provide new stimulus.

Inasmuch as Representative
Bloom was not running for the

him in it, the New Yorker feels
that he has been placed in a
