Mr.. Collier Enthuses

With superlatives running loose
through film press agents minds,
it doesn't mean much these days
to announce a film in glowing
terms, calling into play an array
of laudatory adjectives. But oc-
casionally there pops along a
picture that rates them all rolled
into one, says Rodney Collier of
the Rialto.
BE Mine Tonight" the Euro
pean picture. produce by
Gaumont and brought to this
country by Universal Pictures, is
called one of those occasional
pictures.
It is being hailed everywhere,
says Mr.. Collier, as the most per-
feet musical film ever produced.
Synchronization and technical
skill have made it so. And in
addition. it introduces Kiepura,
the splendid Polish operate star,
to this country.
Here, again according to Mr..
Collier, is a film that really
stands out. 1t is romantic, beau
tiful, loaded with alluring tunes,
alive with talent and fine acting
and simply superb singing.
. 1t all sounds as though it were
really good.

Movie Stars Pay
High Rates on
Insurance
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright. 1898, King Features
SvndInafa Tnc

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, April S.
Everything comes higher to mo-
ton picture stars-even some
forms of insurance.
When Marlene Dietrich, or
Lillian Harvey or Gloria Swanson
wants to take out burglary insur-
ance on their jewelry or furs,
they have to pay a much higher
rate than the ordinary woman.
The reason is they are natural
targets for the thief. One has
only to cite such instances as the
recent Hollywood jewelry rob
berries Of Mae West, Betty Comp
son and the Zeppo MarxeS to
realize the truth Of this.
Oddly enough, directors or
writer's pay the same. rate as
anyone else, Insurance companies
figure they are only normal risks.
Another matter which is giving
the insurance companies concern
is the large number of accident
liability suits filed against the
film people. 'Juries are too prone
to award large damages when the
defendant is a motion picture per-
son, supposedly earning high
salary. Meaning no reflection
against the actors themselves, one
company has refused to write any
more liability insurance for film
stars.

his condition grave.
The younger man, examination dis

minor injuries-severe cuts about the
body and legs. He, too, was admitted
to the hospital, however.

supports had slipped. as it shattered

MARKET H0LD-UP
BELIEVED SOLVED
Arrest of c. H. Levister and
J. J. Lynch Seen to Clear
Up Smith Case.

With the arrest and Identification Of
two suspects, police believe they have
solved the robbery of Union Market
produce dealer which they failed to
prevent early Wednesday.
The pair under arrest were identified
yesterday by Jesse B. Smith of 2141
K street, who was slugged and robbed
after a police escort had left him.
Prisoners Deny Charge.
The prisoners, Charles Harmon Lewis
ter, %. painter, 900 block of K street
and John Joseph Lynch, 81, of the
first block Of Bates street denied knowl-
edge of the robbery or that they had
ever seen Smith before
Detective Thomas Nally arrested
Levister at the K street address and
also young woman who was with
him at the time The latter was held
for questioning, although police were
convinced she had no connection with
the robbery.
Later in the day Detective John Wise
accompanied by Smith, sighted Lynch
in an automobile on a downtown street
and captured him after short chase
vestigation. Police said they probably
would be viewed by victims of other
recent robberies.
Asked Police Escort.
Prior to the robbery, Smith had no.
ticed suspicious persons lettering near
his home. AS he went to work at
o'clock in the morning, he feared he
was about to be robbed and requested
police escort.
Two policemen accompanied him
part way to work, but left him before
he arrived at the market, believing there
was no further danger of q hold-up.
Cracksmen broke into the office o
the Mid-City Sales Co., 1700 block Of
Fourteenth street, some time between 7
o'clock Saturday night and the opening
hour this morning, obtaining $l19 in
cash from a strong box which they
battered open. The robbery was re-
ported to police this morning.
