Bold Hold-up at Rives.
On Wednesday evening, the 21st
inst., a white man, young in appear
ance and wearing a blue coat and
light pants, entered the store of
Harper & Shore just after supper
and drawing a revolver, pointed at
both the "proprietors, who were in at
the time, and held them until he
looted the safe and captured $18 in
money. He warned the proprietors
not to watch his movements and. to
keep their eyes away from him while
he made his escape, which was ac
complished before officers could be
secured, and no trace was found.
This is the boldest of all the late
robberies and the scoundrel should
be caught if possible.
A Popular Actor.
John Bunny, one of the best-known
comic characters in the motion picture
world, is said to be recovering from an
illness which, until a few days ago, was
thought to be fatal. The millions of
motion picture devotees to whom the
face and figure of Mr. Bunny are well
known, will join in the hope that he
may be spared many years of fun-making
and that many a hearty laugh will
spread its contagion through the mov
ing picture theatres before his time ar
rives. Mr. Bunny is 52 years old and has
been on the stage thirty years. His
greatest success has come in recent
years as a moving picture actor. It is
said that he is the highest-salaried actor
in his line. Mr. Bunny's success was
not due so much to his rotund form as
to bis business acumen and foresight.
"As a "legitimate" actor he was mak
ing a fairly good salary in a minstrel.
The constant falling off of the attend
ance, due to the growth of the moving
pictures which had just entered on their
era of popularity, concerned him no less
than the manager who was obliged to
find the salaries.
Mr. Bunny took several weeks off.
He studied the motion pictures, their
possibilities, their shortcomings and
their advantages. He saw in them a
great future, be saw in them inevitable
damage to the "real" shows if not their
eventual destruction. Like a far-seeing
business man, a faculty not usually ac
credited to an actor, he decided if there
was to be success in that line he wanted
to share in it.
Strange to relate he found difficulty
in securing an engagement and finally
was obliged to pose for nothing, after
having abandoned his former position.
He started for nothing, but he was not
obliged to work long without pay. Mr.
Bunny's experience is a reminder that
it doesn't matter where one begins, or
what one receives in the beginning, pro
vided one begins right. Nashville Ban
