Dean Dickson -
Monday, Feb. 16, 1913


India, the land of mystery
and paradox is brought to Am
erican audiences by Dean
Dickson, through the lens of
his camera and by the spoken
word in such a way that those
who hear and see his lecture
and pictures, have a much bet
ter understanding of India.
Mr.. Dickason's lect ure
"There Is No India" is timely
informative. In this epic film,
he focuses on the amazing fact
that until created by the Brit
ish, India had never been the
name of one single country nor
the home of one single nation.
In fact, India is more near
ly a continent than a country,
peopled with many races
speaking many tongues.
"There Is No India" will
bring to the Zion Lyceum au-
dience a vivid picture of India
today.
Alfred Wolff -
Monday, March 8, 1913
The summer and fall of
1947, Alfred Wolff was in Eu-
rope, taking color motion pic
lures of post war France.
A photographer of high
merit with discriminating
eye for the beautiful, Mr..
Wolff brings to those who see
his picture French Mosaic" a
penetrating study of post war
France.
Mr.. Wolff with his lecture
and pictures is doing much to
create a finer understanding
of the French people and the
lovely country in which they
live.

beautiful pictures.
Unquestionably, he will

what we firmly believe to be
an outstanding lecture series.

Swindles, Gyp Games, Dice
Etc.. Explained By Walsh

Walsh chuckles as he relates
how that star showed up under
the pointer - not just the star,
but the exact split center OF 1t.
The wooden stand on which
the wheel was suspended, was
followed out. A leather thong
encircled the metal bar on
which the wheel pivoted. A
piano wire was attached to the
leather thong. The wire went
down and under the table. 1t
was attached to a dog collar.
The operator put his foot in the
dog collar and by exerting the
right pressure could brake the
wheel to a gradual stop. With
out the braking, the wheel was
so perfectly balanced on
ball bearings it could go lndetl-
nitely.
In the deluxe gambling field
are expensive roulette wheels
which can be regulated by
needles, bumpers and magnetic
controls. The devices are lngenl-
GUS and intricate. If you had
plenty of nerve, a compass and
a magnet you could check on
the honesty of the wheels your
self. But it's safer to be a cop
like Walsh when he exposed the
crooked wheels at a New Jer-
sey yacht club recently. A COM
pass held over the wheels re-
vealed the location of the hid
den batteries.
Another method described by
Walsh is the use of hidden con-
trolls which adjust needles into
any combination of numbers or
colors making it impossible for
the roulette ball to enter that
number or color.
And now how about craps?
You could be taken just as easl-
ly. Since phony dice were first
discovered in the ruins of Pom
peii (they were mis-shaped and
mis-numbered), cubes have
been loaded, followed, edg'
ed, capped, bricked, topped and
beveled, to mention just a few
of the technical terms. Out Of
: style now is the old method Of
loading with mercury, due to its
nasty habit of eating through
and discoloring the bone or plas-
tic, not to mention the disquiet-
ing factor of having to tap the
dice now and then to change
the position of the mercury in
order to make a different point.

RY IRVING DESFOR

PTDGEFIELD PARh, IN. D.,
Oct. II (R-The elaborate gamo-
ling set-up which New York po-
lice said they recently uncover
cd was a high class example
saws sandy-haired Audley Walsh
Of some of the multifarious
schemes, swindles, rackets and
devices which he estimates
m11lct a half-billion dollars an
nually from a gullible public.
Walsh is a sergeant on the
Ridgefield park police force
who has been consulted by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
and has gained national recog-
nition because of his intensive
study of gaming rackets. He
has piled a valuable assortment
of gimmicked apparatus into
his home as a sort of "fixed"
memorial to the hordes of men
and women who perennially
hope for easy money via cards,
wheels or other gaming CAD
gets.
To combat the rising tide of
easy money operators, Walsh
has lectured before FBI classes,
police departments and civic or
CARNATIONS. His equipment has
been photographed and slides
made by the FBI so agents may
benefit from the sergeant's
knowledge of swindling equip
ment and how to spot them.
Most people have heard a out
marked cards and phony dice.
but it takes a magician to de-
tect them in use and expose
them. That's exactly what
Walsh is and it explains how
he started in his specially.
Walsh recalls the night he
watched a carnival grifter in &C
ton. 1t was the closing play oil
the last night and the operator
suddenly disclosed that he hac
a heart of gold.
"Put your money-any amount
on any of the Is numbers" He
urged. you've been a gooc
bunch of sports, and now Tn
gonna do something for you. l:
any one of the numbers shows
up - you'll all be paid. All |
have is just one chance on the
wheel - just the star"
With that magnanimity the
yokels bit for all they had. L
was a Is to l shot in their favor
and the chance for that lone
star to show up looked slim
