BODY OF LITTLE GIRL IS FOUND IN GREEK WATERS Victim of Fiendish Kidnaper Beaten to Death, Police Believe, By United Pretg PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27.—The body of little 6-year-old Lillian Gilmore, victim of a fiendish kidnaper, was found frozen in the Neshaminy Creek, near Croydon, Pa., at midnight. Wylie Morgan, self-confessed abductor, will be formally charged with murder today, authorities said. A crowd of several thousand persons gathered around the police station when word of the confession was spread and shouted threats of violence against the prisoner. The station, in the heart of the Kensington mill section, was put under extra guard and armed men filled the doorways, standing off the mob. The body of the little girl was found after Morgan confessed to the crime. He guided the police to the creek where he had thrown the body and cried, “There she is; I killed her,” the police said. Five men. holding lanterns high so that they might peer into the darkness. recovered the body from the icy water. The little girl's body showed signs of a terrible beating. A superficial examination revealed her jaw broken in five places; her arms, hands and legs were cut. Police believed Morgan had beaten Lillian in the face until she died. Mob Forms Quickly News of Morgan's confession and the finding of the body spread rapidly through the northeast section of Philadelphia, where the Gilmore family lives and when the murderer was returned to the police station the mob totaled 5,000 men, women and children. Cries of ‘lynch him!" and “kill him” were heard. Twenty policemen armed with sawed off shot guns and rifles guarded the prisoner to prevent the angry crowd from storming the station. Morgan, according to the police. Invited Dorothy, 5, and Lillian Gilmore. 6, to take an automobile ride Saturday afternoon. Later Dorothy wandered home and told about the man killing Lillian and casting her body on the ice. A city-wide search for the murderer began. Morgan was arrested on suspicion, and after thirty-three hours of constant grilling confessed. He led police to where he had thrown the body.

‘Get ’Em Young and Feed ’Em,’ Advice of Rae Samuels to Feminine Friends

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN RAE SAMUELS in song is telling the girls how to get a man. Her ffflvice is as follows: “Get ’em young; feed ’em, but tell them nothing.” In another song, she tells the world that she has a red-headed sheik who , hails from the Bowery, New York, but he hasn’t a tent or a horse but, Gosh, O, Gosh, he has a flivver. In other words, Rae Samuels is making her annual visit to the local i Keith house this week. Itae is pretty much an institution these days. She has her own way of putting over a song. She admits that she went to Europe last summer and tells her friends to stay in America and see this country first. Her songs are exclusive or most of them are only presented by her. She was quite a riot yesterday afternoon. She loves to make the world happy and she succeeds in doing that every time she show's up on the stage. Miss B. Walker of Indianapolis is the accompanist. At the close of her act, she asked that all the lights be turned out because she was wearing a radium gown. The gown in the dark became as brilliant as a house on fire. Splendid songs of the day this woman offers. She is a rare artist. Mrs. Drew Appears In a Smart Sketch Mrs. Sidney Drew, with the assistance of John Reinhart and Mary Alden, offers a clever little sketch, “Predestination,” which is way above the average vaudeville playlet. Mrs. Drew, who is well known for her work on the screen, appears to pleasing comedy advantage In this Edwin Burke comedy. The story concerns the efforts of a wife to break off an affair of her husband with another woman. It is smart comedy and as cleverly acted. Ray and Emma Dean are back with us. Dean is a classic nut comedian. As “nutty” as his actions Is his haircut. This is the last word in haircuts. This team is funny. Bert Levy, an artist, caused a small sized riot yesterday when he drew a picture of Woodrow Wilson. In answering the ovation, he stated he would give a free -matinee Saturday morning at Keith's for the children of the city and asked those having automobiles to see that some crippled child be brought to the theater. This man knows the hearts of children. He delights people of all ages. Lytell and Fant during their act introduce some clever knee dancing. Splendid. Toque, a trained dog, opens the show. Ted Lorraine. Jack Minto and Margaret Davies have a dance offering. “Moth and Flames,” which is strong enough to hold an entire audience until the final curtain. Another real act. At Keith’s all week. -I- "I" -INobles Lightnin’ Bill Is Now a Masterpiece Frank Bacon is dead, but his memory’ lives on and on. The world need not build a monument over Bacon’s grave as long as ‘'Lightnin' ” Is on the road. Here Is a living memorial to him. “Lightnin' ” returned last night to English’s for a week’s engagement with about the same cast that _ we had last year. • Milt o n Nobles wvis seen here as |F Lightnin’ Bill I \ t Jone§ last year i * here 1 and he has *** W ‘ ♦' j the same role this % season. Months of *’ playing this role ¥ !■, •' has resulted in iieve that it would HfeP be hard to sep- ™ 1 ' arate the two. He plays the role MILTON now with a r NOBLES much energy', pa- | tience and love that he did on his former visit here. His work is indeed the labor of love. Heri i we have a finished character portray | of a character beloved by the world. In the courtroom scene he chases a tear away with a smile. That’s ail — i regular soul art.

Townsend. (Here we have more excellent comedy work. Dolly W. Nobles is again Mrs. Jones. Sarah Elizabeth Reynolds as Mrs. Davis is a newcomer. The cast is just about the same as last season. It is not necessary at this late date to go into the merits of the play as a play. The playgoirg public rendered its verdict years ago. It is the biggest success the stage has ever known. “Lightnin’ ” as being presented this w r eek is up to the standard one would expect. Here we have a national story, well acted by a competent cast. What more could be asked? “Lightnin’ ” is the safest amusement purchase of the season. At English’s all week. ♦ -!- -I- -IBartram and Saxton Establishe a Unique Record History is being made by Bartram and Saxton. These two men some w r eeks ago played an engagement at the Palace. They wpre returned last week and are being held over this week. • This is seldom done in a vaudeville theater. It is a rare accomplishment. It is easy to see why these two men are so popular. In the first place, they know how and when to introduce a jazz song. They know how to do a baifad. They yodel sweetly. To each song number they' bring a touch of refreshing refinement. When they sing they seem to enjoy it. They do not race through a song but go into a song for the single purpose of developing its hidden heauty. Bartram and Saxton are successful on the vaudeville stage and merit i alone entitles them to the honor of being held over. Wayne Marshall and two women appear in an act called “The Intruder.” It probably was intended to be a surprise act, but the surprise Is no | surprise at all. We all expect to find Marshall somewhere in the audience and we know that he will land upon the stage in due time. Marshall needs new material. This thing has been done too many times in the past. “Odds and Ends” is the billing of an act offered by' Newport, Stirk and j Parker. They go in for some ancient j stuff also. The trick handling of | | scenery still gives some people on the I front row a thrill. A toy doll and | soldier number is their best, Larimer and Hudson open the show with a bicycle offering. The comic has no trouble in making patrons laugh. Bobby Jackson and company appear ift a song and dance revue | called “Eccentricities.” The act !s nicely mounted and pleases. The bill Includes “The Comebacks” and a movie. "Forget-Me-Not.” At the Palace all week. -I* -I- -IRigoletto Brothers Could Present an Entire Show The Rlgoletto Brothers, with the assistance of the Swanson Sisters and a monkey, could present an entire vaudeville show. The brothers have worked out a vaudeville revue idea which Is new and interesting. The brothers attempt anything from music to strong man stunts and wen present some good mngic stunts. The Swanson Sisters sing and i dance. They dress their numbers in j good taste and fill in the time while the brothers are getting their breath. The closing number, an Italian organ grinding scene, is well handled. One of the brothers turns out to be an entire orchestra. A monkey frolics on a drum while he plays. A really big act. The Foch Four offer a number of rapid stepping dances. The ball room dance number is well done. Dave Thnrsby might be called the “Deluxe Tramp” as he wears a high hat, a frock coat (badly damaged) and unpressed tmsors He engages in comedy' patter and a song or two. A revolving ladder figures in the merriment of the act of .Tames and Etta Mitchell. The acrobatic comic on the ladder lands many a laugh. Joseph E. Bernard and Mary Ann Robbins appear In a comedy sketch called, “Who Ts .She?,” in which a jealous wife is taught a lesson. The Great Maurice is a card manipulator. I found him to be among the best I have seen on the vaudeville stage anywhere. On the Mil are two colored entertainers. The feature of this act which otherwise is only fair, is a musical contest be tween the pianist and the combined orchestra. On the hill are two men who offer a mixture of acrobatics and double ointed stunts that is not excelled am probably not equaled on the variety

stage. One of the men even sits on his head. A good act, in fact a corker. Wish I knew their names. At the Lyric all w r eek. -I- -I- -i----“Tlie Mischief Maker” On Mew at Broadway It seems that a burlesque show is incomplete without the popular song "Whistle If You Want Me,” which has been so popular all season. “The Mischief Makers,” at the Broadway this week, are using it, but in a different manner and it becomes the outstanding number of the show. The comedians know how to put on a make-up, but their con edy lines are almost as bad as a Joe Miller contest. They are using the much-abused material, ’“Do you know what a scale is? Yes, a scale is a freckle on a fish.” It seems that burlesque performers never get around to other shows, or they surely would not expect people to laugh at such stale comedy. The chorus saves the show. Here is a “peppy” lot of girls who work every minute and are attractive looking. The costume and scenery are far above the average. (By the Observer).

Roberts and Mack Featured at Rialto Bob Roberts and Charlie Mack are featured at the Rialto this week In “Iko and Mike in Mexico.” The j tenor singer of the team is cast as j Ike, the Hebrew, and handles the j role in good style. This is the sec-1 ond time recently that he has been | cast in a Hebrew role, and he seems ; to handle this character ’tetter than any other. His singing hi week is • the outstanding feature of ihe show. The scenes for this musical comedy am laid on the harder between the United States and Mexico. The story concerns the efforts of un Irishman and a Hebrew to obtain the reward offered for the capture of the bandit, Villa. The photoplay offering is “Brawn of the North," a very' good picture, which has been reviewed before by j this department. (By The. Observer.) t -I- -!■ -I- ' On the Screen Today Tile movies cn view include: “Java j Head,” at the Circle: "Ebb Tide,” at the Ohio; “A Blind Bargain,” at tho Apollo; “Nobody's Money,” at the Colonial: “Brass Commandments,” at Mister Smith's, and "The Clean-Up,’’ at the Isis. ST. LOUIS GUNMEN IN BITTER FEUD : 'Ethics’ of Warfare Promise Death for Death, By United Brets ST. LOUIS, Feb. 27.—" The killing of ‘Little Red’ Powers will be avenged tn forty-eight hours.” j Tills, according to police, was the j reply of “Egan's Rats” to the slaying jof Clarence Powers In a St. Louis County roadhouse Sunday. Knowing that gang “ethic*" demands the death of some member of I the rival faction when one of their ; number Is murdered and that the killi lng must tak> place before the avenged man Is buried, police declared they were certain Powers hail been killed by members of the “Jelly Rolls.” Today police were prepared to frustrate any attempt of the “Rata” to retaliate by tho same rule of gang warfare.

GOVERNOR PARKER URGES‘BIG SUCK’ AS MUX CURB Louisiana Executive Says State Will Fight Kian, By United Brest CHICAGO, Feb. 27—Use of the “big stick” methods of Theodore Roosevelt to unmask the Ku-Klux Klan, was urged here by Governor John M. Parker of Louisiana. Parker, speaking before an antiIvlan congress of the American Unity League, issued a warning that local governments would be submerged by the rules of hooded mobs unless drastic steps were taken to curb the Ivlan's activities. “AH States should declare themselves against masked men In such terms that none would dare to wear the hood and robe,” Parker said. Parker told of the efforts of Louisiana authorities to “tear the hood off lClulsm.” He promised that the State would prosecute the Mer Rouge slayings.
