Thing In FormosuI"
Taipel, Formosa (ANP) - Pat
rons at a local movie were some
what flabbergasted one night last
week when, during the showing of
an American strip tease film, fire
broke out in the projection room
of the theatre.
The blaze was quickly extingu-
ished, no one was hurt and the pat
rons quietly resumed their seats.
The film being shown was The

cities to fill recording and stag
ness contributed directly to his
becoming a dope addict.
The daily grind gets to be too
much" he lamented, adding, "a
fellow who lives in the dark has
to have something" Dope, he ex-
planned, was his only source of
enjoyment.
Arrested On Tip
Charles, one of the most popular
weather. and sought-after-enter-
tanners in show business, was ar
raigned in court here Wednesday
NOV. 49, after his arrest the
previous date in the downtown
Sheraton-LiRcoln. He was later
freed on $1,000 bond, after his
case was continued to Jan. 4.
Charles was arrested on a tip
from an informer. Police swooped
down on his hotel room and found
a cache of narcotics, including a
jar of marijuana, a syringe, 10
empty gelatin capsules and a re-
sidue of heroin.
Police refused to disclose the
source of their information or the
name of the informer.
Mob Scene At Trial
Charles fans were in full force
at the trial Wednesday, jostling
with newsmen, newsreel and tele-
vision men, and with police. There
was a general scene of bedlam in
the hallway leading to the court
room, before Judge Burks threat
ened to take action.
Charles himself refused to speak
to newsmen on the advice of his
attorney. Il don't feel up to an
swering any questions about my
life or this event." he said as he
left the court.
However, Detective Sgt. William
Owen, one of the officers who
made the arrest, said Charles ad-
mitted he has used dope since he
was 10. He said the singer had
one of the worst pair Of tracks"
(arms) he has ever seen. His arms,
Owens explained, were punctured
in several places from excess use
of needles.
Owens also offered the opinion
that the arrest may be best for
Charles, who otherwise might not
have sought cure. The officer re-
marked guardedly:
I'VE don't want to hurt Ray,
but he admitted himself that he
needs help. I mean this would be
the best for him, because other
wise he would not submit to the
cure. Even now he may not do
So"
Several Violations
Charles was charged here with
violating the 1885 narcotics act
and with being a common drug
addict.
A habitual dope addict, Charles
has been arrested in the past on
similar charges, but managed to
beat the rap each time. He was
arrested five years ago in New
York on a narcotics charge but
drew a suspended sentence.
Last July, he was arrested in
Chicago on the same charge when
police raided his hotel room during
his engagement at the Regal
Theatre. However, Narcotics Court
Judge William M. Barth granted
a motion to suppress the evidence
after arresting detectives admitted
they had no search warrant.
Earns $4,000 Per Week
Charles came here with his
troupe of 20 from Anderson, Ind.
where he had just closed an en-
gagement. He repeatedly brought
the heroin with him from Ander-
son, but bought the marijuana
here.
Meanwhile, there were inquiries
about his arrest from as far as
Paris, France. People kept calling
