Portrayal of "Bad Man" Roles Has Brought Stardom to Many; Paul Lukas Next ? i ( 1 Paul Lukas, despite the villainous roles he portrays on the screen bids fair to he one of the most popular ac tors in motion pictures, according to the movie fans themselves. A pecu liar feature about the actor's ever growing popularity is that he is fol lowing the path taken by many mo tion picture actors who are recog nized leaders among the countless movie stars. j George Bancroft, who will be seen at the Parmele theatre Sunday, Mon- j day and Tuesday in his latest Para- I mount starring picture, "The Wolf of Wall Street," reached stardom be- ! (cause he grew popular portraying vil lainous cnaracrers on me screen, ins; work reached a climax in "Under world," in which he was cast as a I gang leader. Following the public's' acclaim with that effort. Paramount; elevated Bancroft to complete star dom where he has grown more pop- ular with the fans with every new ; picture. William Powell is another! example of how an actor may reach the heights simply by giving impres sive "bad man" roles in motion pic tures. Paul Lukas is a Hungarian and has appeared in several Paramount , pictures. With each appearance, Lukas" fan mail at the Paramount; Hollywood studios registers an in crease, showing that while he may be the troublesome element in the plot of the story shown on the silver sheet, Lukas personally is winning a large fan fololwing. Studio offi cials are confident that some day Lukas will take his place alongside ; the male stars of Paramount a star j in his own right. Critics have hailed : Lukas' efforts, and call him an ac complished and finished actor. He has an important part in "The Wolf of Wall Street." as also do Baela- nova.

Robbers of Ofe Oil Station are Captured Two Young Men Arrested Near Mis souri Pacific Station Make Confession From "Wednesday's DmIIv Albert Sala. 21 of Oakland, Cali fornia and Charles Wilder. 1 H ,r Sioux City, Iowa, are in jail h-n- to answer for the robbery of th- Oiv Oil Station early Monday mornliiK, the two men being arrested last eve ning by Deputy Sheriff Young and Constable Tom Svoboda, near the Mis souri Pacific freight depot in th- wi nt part, of the city. The oflicers had been working on the cas" all day and late in tin- af ternoon a call came from the Gl ri Wils farm near the outskirts or tin city where a young man had been observed by Mrs. Charles Alloway. residing at the farm, in the act of gathering up some eggs and making his getaway and as it was getting late and the men had been seen at different times during the day the family decided to call the ollice of Sheriff Reed, who being out of the city the matter was taken up by De puty Young and who securing the assistance of Mr. Svoboda, started for the farm. After reaching the farm a search was started and the officers covered an area of several miles in the at tempt to locate the men and eventu ally th" search following the Mis souri Pacific railroad line came to the vicinity of the station. The offi cers in carefully going over the yards finally ran onto the two young men and who strangely enough were con cealed near the large gas tanks of the Ofe company whose place of business they had robbed earlier in the day. The men were searched and two revolvers, a large Colt and an auto matic were found or. the men and which later were identified by Henry Ofe, Jr., r.s his property and the ones taken from the oil station. The men were taken to the office cf the sheriff for questioning and Al bert Sala. the elder of the two young men, made a complete eoniession or the robbery of the station here and under1 the examination of Deputy Young acknowledged that lie and li is companion had stolen the Ford coupe of E. L. Sutfin of Lincoln and had abandoned the car here where it was found early yesterday morn ing In the south part of the city. The story told by Sala was straightforward and the man seemed glad when he had unburdened him self of the whole tale of the two robberies. Sala stated that he had previously served six years in the reform school in the state of Cali fornia, being taken up for auto theft while Wilder, the younger of the two boys, stated that he had done three years in a reform school in Iowa for a theft of three dollars. The home of Wilder was at 14 23 West 3rd street, Sioux Sity. Sala gave his home address as Oakland. California.

The story of Sala was to the ef fect that he and his partner had ccme here from Union lute Sunday and after getting into the main part of the town had decided to try and get some money at the oil station. Sala stated that he was the one to break the window and make entrance to the oil station and that Wilder had remained outside on watch while lie searched the place. Under the searching question of the deputy sheriff and with the fact that a small leather container had several car keys on it, Sala finally acknowledged that his first story of getting rides from Lincoln to Union was not the whole truth, and came through with the fact that he and Wilder had stolen the Ford coupe from the streets of Lincoln and had driven as far as this city and Sala who was driving the car had grown sleepy and allowed the car to run into the ditch just at the south out skirts of the city and they had then got out and abandoned the car and made their way on into town on foot. Of the dollar of pennies that the men secured at the Oil station in ad dition to the two revolvers, there were but eight remaining. Hiomas Walling Gimp any Abstract of Title .
