GUN PLAY AT LONG
AND SHORT RANGE
LOEW'S THRILLER
At Locws Theatre, In Broadway op
posite the Astor, which advertise it
produces plays of distinction for poo
plo of discrimination, are two headlln
ers this week.
Thi: first la the story of a 'girl
from up country who""" becomes a
.Broadway favorite. It is rather in
volved, but on tho very night she
nasi accepted attentions from tho thc
.ttrkul man her sister and her former
swoethnirt como Into the theatre.
The heroine dances around the stage
.n tights, and then sues her sister In
tho box. .She runs an tne way up
stairs until she rouches the top,
where she flops and falls all tho way
down again. I'sheis and doctors and
maids tronji to her assistance and she
cries: "M Sister!" And then when
sister and former sweetheart como
Into her dressing room, whibh has
suddenly been transformed Into a
charming .boudoir, whoro tho theatre
.an weeps, she says: "I've done
wrong, sistei," and whether sho dies
nr not is left to tho imagination of,
the audience.
Then, after an exhibition of ladles j
in n bulous clothing who aro ndvor-,
tlsed to tome later to tho theatre,,
there come- to the front tho real feat-!
art TIiTh is n wonderful story of the
wild and v.lly West, where there Is
a mine involved and a heroine to
save it. Her uncle leaves tho East to
"So out and take euro-of tho reckless
niece with whom a gambler Is In love,
or sas he is, and tho first Introduc
tion to the woolly west me unrie
gets is a bullet fired athwart his
saddle.
In the nick of time tho hero sees
the shot which Is dlrectrd at tho
'uncle's henrt, and ho shoots. the gun,
at long range, out of tho villain's
hand. That's nothing to what he
docs later. There's a shot In every
scene and a , gun in every nana.
Everybody, some time or other, takes
n shot at 'somebody, and nobody gets
killed except the gambler, who Is
shot by the girl ho has betrayed and
whom he tries to unload upon a Mex
ican murderer.
The hero Is one of the greatest sure
shots ever seen on a desort or a
screen. He is a wonder also with the
lasso. Ho has a fight with tho gam
bler, ehasincr him up and down stairs
and finally heating him up. and one
if his confederates who pulls a gun.
Tie gambler tells the "girl" that her
brothot murdered her father, but in
stead of oe.ng reconciled to his offer
of marriage she slaps him right In the
face. Finally, when the hero Is ready
to break into thJ room where tho vil
lain has the "girl" at his mercy, the
villain defies the hero, saying that If
he breaks down the door he will shoot
Hose.
Rnso grabs hlfc gun arm and hollers
to tho luro to como on, and tho hero
does find knocks the sjvots out of thp

time, sure-fire formula! Bight before
1,000 persons no fewer than seven
men were murdered In tho picture. A
man "dropped" by the two-gun hero
Is in about every scene.
Tho big idea appears to be to show
the qylckncss and accuracy In hand
ling a gun. Highly educational! Ono
particular point In tho plcturo appar
ently was to show how easy it was to
shoot from your left hip.
A second picture had a bomb as its
chief idea, and tho devilish Ingenuity
of the brain that devised tho ex
plosion deserves police attontion. if
you happen to have u piano teacher
whom you would like to remove from
your path of lovo making, a method
is supplied and Us working out is re
vealed before your eyes. The cover
ing of tho-inner mechanism ubove
the keyboard Is removed and a bomb
with fuse iittachod Is placed Inside. A
lighted lamp is attached a short dis
tance from tho fuse. You strike a
certain key. The contact Is made, the
tuso lighted, a bomb explodes. It In
made so simple, any crack-bram
could duplicate It. And all this comes
under thd head of entertainment.
A lgb.t or two ago in one. of the
pictures It was shown how, when a
policeman starts to arcst a gangster,
it Is tho simplest thing in the world
for the prisoner to pull his cout over
bis head, trip the officer and escape.
CRIME CARNIVAL
STIRS AUDIENCES
IN TWIN THEATRES
Arson, forgery, assault, robbery,
kidnapping and cutting of telegraph
wlrea were Interwoven in a picture
which gripped spectators made up
largely of boys and girls last night
at the Kingston Movie House in Ful
ton Street, opposite Throop Avenue,
Brooklyn, and at the Throop Theatre,
Fulton. Street and Throop venue,
which aro run In conjunction.
Tho story deals with the roturn of
n war hero to his home In tho wheat
belt. No sooner Is he welcomed at
the station by an admiring throng
than a notice is posted there by a
gang of young desperadoes warning
railroad men not to handle any
wheat. Thcso outlaws long have
terrorized the neighborhood under
the eyes of a do-nothing Sheriff, and
have made looting and flnng of
farmhouses and barns a nightly oc
currence. While the hero Is pro
claiming that the outlawry must
stop, a farmhand Is murdered as ho
stands guard with his rifle on the
lookout for firebugs. The hero ap
peals to the Sheriff In vain and then
puts himself at tho head of a vlgl
book committee to bring tho gang to
As the war between the citizens
nnd the gang progresses the hero
proposes marriage to the daughter
of a rich farmer after she has re
jected a local lawyer who later turns
out to be the brains of the lawless
band. The lawyer imports a girl
from France who unnounceve herself
oa tho hero wife and produces a
forged marriage certificate. Whole
sale slaying of farmers and firing of
wheat fields quicken tho action. Tho
lawyer is blackjacked by a disaf
fected member of the gang who then
robs a safe, the heroine Is kidnapped
by other gangsters and tho telegraph
wires are cut to clear the way for
general massacre and pillage.
The excited girls and boys in the
audience see such a catastrophe
averted a' the last minute by a swift
series of buperhuman feats on the
part of the hero, but the outstand
ing features of the picture are what
it essentially Is an orgy of crime.
SUICIDE ATTEMPT
SETS OFF DANCES;
MUCH DRINKING
School girls ranging In ajro from
fourteen to seventeen years revelled
audibly In the sensational scenes of
a picture at the BIJou Theatre,
Smith and Livingston Streets, Brook
lyn, yesterday afternoon. Tho film
plays up an attempted suicide, which
was a crime In this State until the
law was repealed two years ago.-
Tho picture abounds in giddy ball
room scenes, a conspicuous lack of
feminine costuming, wining und din
ing to excess in a fashionable en
vironment, and uttalns the acmo of
gayety when it displays the vulgar
spklshlnsrs of a bevy of maidens In
a fountain.
BANDITS OUTWIT
COPS AS SISTER
SAVES FORGER
Two short reels preceded tho prin
cipal film at the Crown Theatre, Du
mas Avenue and East Second Street,
Brooklyn, last night. Tho first glori
fied a cowboy who made the law a
continual object of , ridicule. He
opened a national bank and immedi
ately proceeded to muko a largo loan
to a cowboy friend without security.
A bank examiner happens ulong and
is balked for tho time by the banker's
temporising attitude. But the banker
confides to his friend that tho exami
ner will make It unpleasant unless
the loan is repaid the following noon.
Tho borrower sturts to hold up a train
at a water tank, but tho suspecting
Imnkor pounces upon him and thwart
hl design. While the banker is Jolly
ing the .nxnmlnor, the brother ot the
borrower sella his cattle in the nick
of time to meet the called loan and
the banker sotids tho examiner on his
way.
The nerond film is a farce which
shows hold-up men outwitting the
police at every turn while tipy ply a
profitable trade mitde possible only by
the ottlrci-j' stupidity. It neenilnglv
made the audience fuel at home.
The big picture depicta a girl as tho

Up In tho Bronx, an Kvcning World

girl while cn route on a steamer to
Yokohoma fall the victim of two men
who seized her as she strolled tho
deck. One of the men wore a black
mask, and while ho grabbed her by
tho throat his companion seized a
heaving lino and bogan to bind her
legs and arms as both of them car

Sergt. Hill Can't Find Any
thing Habitable. At a Price
VVhich (5ould Be Paid by
AnyUbdy of Reasonable
Means.
Police Scrgsant Charles A. Hilt is
back riding his horse In Central Park
and is living nt tho Waldorf-Astoria
with his young bride. A policeman
living at Iho Waldorf-Astoria? Yes.
It's a fact. He's found It cheaper,
than living in un apartment.
Ho and his wlfo have hunted New
York over nnd oVer for a nice place
to llvo but they failed to find any
thing habitable at a pflco which
could bo paid by anybody ot reason
able means.
Ystorday tho Sergeant was riding
along the bridle paths of the park
(he walked tho "bridal path" Oct. 1)
and an Evening World reporter hailed
him:
"Well, Sergeant, how does it seem
to bo living at tho Waldorf-Astoria-sort
of strange for a cop, Isn't It?"
"Well, you sco It's this way: My
wlfo and I liavo hunted this town
over for a place to llvo and, not hav
ing a gold mine, decided it would be
cheaper to stay at tho Waldorf. It's
a fine pluce and oven If It does cost
us JlO a day wo do get our money s
vofth.
Duiicvu me, uiu money iney
ask for apartments these days makes
the 'Chargo of tho L.lght Brlgado'
look like a walk."
"How long aro you going to stay at
the Waldorf?"
"Oh, I guess till about the 15th.
We've found a place at No. 200 Con
trol Park West and It looko llko wo
aro going to take It, because It seems
llko the best thing wo can do. Did
you ever try to Jump over tho moon?
Well, to find a habltahle apartment
al a reasonable price in New York Is
about as easy."
Before tho war Sergt. Hill was a
Detective Sergeant attached to the
personal staff of Former Mayor John
Purroy Mitchcl. Ho served through
the war as a Captain In the Aviation
Corps, being stationed at Issaudun,
In charge of pupil aviators. After tho
war he returned home and was sent
to San Francisco for duty, and
stopped off nt Silt Iiko City to sco
the sights. There ho gi)t Into a bus
to go about the city and Bat by nn at
tractive young woman. Sho looked
very good to Jilm, so he said:
"Hello!"
"Hellq!" she responded, and smiled.
Thoy swapped nnmes and ad
dresses, and the young woman turned
out to be Miss Amy Ijingo of St.
I.outs. Thev corresponded nnd saw
more and more of each other. Tho
result was their marriage on Oct. 1
in St. Louis. Sergt Hill was attached
to President Wllson'd retinue during
his trip through the west In the In
