| There are persons of misguided sympathies who will protest that a |sentence of twenty-five years In prison for a niun who was found ’■ guilty of stealing SSO is unmerited rigor of the law. Those who know ’• and fairly take Into account that tlie criminal committed the robbery with a deadly weapon in his hand J and that his crime was only one of ) several hold-ups he had been guiltv 5 ■j of will not think the punishment 51 too severe. If the wave of banditry ) J j which has lieen sweeping over the country during these very recent years is to be checked and finally turned back, there can lie little sympathy for bandits when they are caught and they are caught much too seldoni.' ‘The man who sets about robbery with firearms in his hands is as a general thing ready to commit murder either to make bis crime succeed or in his , effort to escape if pursued. Now and then some amateur bandit may Ibe wanting in nerve and ruthlessjness for murder, but the seasoned I professional bandit is not. — Fort j Wayne Journal-Gazette. ■ Though we are still paying heav lily—and how! —for the i>ast war, I 'he itch is still irritatingly prevai"•nt at the capital.

Rio in a modem story planned for early production. So far. I haven’t been able to find out whether this will be the picture Adela Rogers Hyland and Gene Fowler will write for Dolores, or whether S e I z - nick has another story in nvnd. At any rate, the teaming of

this pair is an- I i other important instance of Holly- r wood's new largesse with famous I j na *"s. I i The annojm em»nt also is significant because it apparently dis- r pores of the'rime it that the three j will appear in a pic- t lure for R-K-O. Unless furtheuarrangements have been made, • John is only to do one more film f at this studio.

Other actors may talk of their picture records, but wth “Movie Crazy” Harold Lloyd rounds out his 350'.h starring vehicle. Harold started making pictures in 1914. He first appeared a? a nondescript character called “Willie Work," which later developed into “Lonesome Luke." In t'ne "Luke” characterisation, Harold made one comedy a week for three years, later branching out into the two-red field I wonder if you remember "Lonesomo Luke." He wore a fedora hat which sat on the top of his head, a short coat, tight-fitting pants and big shoes. Two dots of a moustache, one on either side of the nostrils, was the facia! makeup. Tiring of th" limited rharncterization, Harold discarded it and conceived the idea of the now.
