Actress Says Ignorance Led to Dope Habit Freed From Evil Miss Hansen Gains 55 Pounds—Will Tell of Experiences. From 95 pounds three years ago to more than 150 pounds now is the weight which Miss Juanita Hansen, film actress, declares is proof that her "Illness” of dope is cured. Miss Hansen, who arrived in Omaha last evening to appear at the World the ater for a week starting today's matinee, has won the title of “The Gill Who Came Back” after a fight as a drug addict for more than two years. A tour of the country Is living made ljy Miss Hansen, to tell tlie public the story of how she taught and won the battle against dope. ' ‘My start in the habit was made through ignorance, not Innocence,” said Miss Hansen. ‘At a party ‘of gay friends in Hollywood In 1919, I Inhaled a bit of heroin through my nostrils. I had no idea of what I hail done. After that, I took more heroin when I was tired and weak from a recent attack of sleeping sick ness that I had suffered. At the time I was working on two motion pictures and found the strain of 18 hours of work too much. It was three years before 1 got rid of the drug habit. I fought it constantly. No one has any idea, except those who have gone through the horrible experience, wlmt pain one can suffer. When the body feels the need of dope, there is such a gripping pain in the pit of the stomach that you want to scream. Your blood In your veins pounds like a sledge hammer, especially in the arms and in at the backs of the knees. I finally went to a sana tarium in Oakland and was cured a year ago last July. "Then I went to New York and was arrested on January 10 of this year upon evidence of dope which a scheming detective had planted in my room. I was tried and proven not guilty of possession of narcotics. I’ve started back on the right road now, for the desire for drugs has been killed. I can see it before me with out weakening. I’ve come back to what I can do to point the way to others. By example we can teach. By telling my life history I hope to lreep others from the path of drugs.” Miss Hansen is so well now that she is dieting to keep down her weight, she says. Before her days of dope Miss Hansen was known as an accomplished “stunt" woman of the njovies. Miss Hansen w-as among the well known first bathing beauties of Mack Sennett, including Gloria Swanson, Phyllis Haver, Ma rie Prevost, Betty Compson, Mary Thurman and others who have made a mark in moving pictures. After her vaudeville engagement. Miss Han sen will enter the movies again, hav ing already signed a contract to play on the west coast. Thoso who take their weekly dose of Columbia burlesque at the tlayety regu larly will be delighted In the doings of Shannon and Learning, with "Hipplty Hop," starting this afternoon. Their en trance Is made as a pair of Tyrolean yod olers—a man and a half with two full grown banjos. Shannon is the long and beaming the ahort of a team that gets a laugh on their disparity In alze as soon as they bounce Into view. Front their first entrance until they finally drop ex hausted from well-doing, as the second act curtain hits the stage. Shannon and Leeming are on the go and laughter is on the boom. Leeming is a mighty short short!© and Shunnon is as tall as a shot tower. Out of this difference in size they get oodles of fun as they "snap the whip " or dance in grotesque companionship. An extra feature is 'Liza and Her Shufflin’ Band. Tomorrow's matinee starts at 3. Yvan Servais, who plays the tole of Count Hharntoff in ‘Blossom Time" at the Brandeia for four nights starting tomoi row. with a Wednesday matinee, has a long lineage of noted artistic forabears Hia father was a noted Russian actor, his grandfather an internationally famous eeiloist, his mother an opera singer, ami he himself traveled through. Europe as a violin virtuoso. He played with the famous French actor, Goquelin. for seven years, and sung in the original French productions of “The Chocolate Soldier" and "Tlie Merry Widow."

Martha Mansfield Dies From Burns Filmy Dress of Civil War Per iod Catches Fire in Mov ing Picture Scene. Martha Mansfield. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Nov. 30.— Martha Mans field, motion pic t ure star, died here at noon to day as a result of burns received while site was "on location" here yesterday. Miss Mansfield received the burns when a flimsy dress she was wearing became ignited, envelop ing the lower por tion of her body in flames. Miss Mansfield s death was caused from shock, the attending physician said. When she was taken to the hospital yesterday afternoon it was thought she would survive, but she became worse during the night. The body will be sent to New York, It was stated. Miss Mansfield was a star for the Fox Film corporation and had been here a month making the picture "Warrens of Virginia.” Rhe was in the recent picture, "Potash and Perl mutter.” The match which ignited Miss Mans field’s dress is believed to have been thrown to the ground after some one of the company lighted a sigaret aSj the players quit the set. Wilfred Ly- i tell, the leading man,'•was the closest one to Miss Mansfield, and he was 10 or 12 paces away, he said, u hen he heard her scream. The company just had finished the battle scenes of the picture the day before and had erected a cabin set to "shoot" an Interior. Miss Mansfield was dressed in a civil war costume of i.ills and hoops, all covered gener ously with lace. This lace Is believed responsible for the suddenness of the flame that enveloped the film star. The chauffeur of her car severely burned his hands in jerking the burn ing clothing from her. Arrested, Tried and Sentenced in 15 Minute Herman Iske, clerk at the Jeffer son hotel, w^s arrested yesterday afternoon at 8 by Robert Samardiek, federal prohibition agent, charged with Illegal sale of liquor.

This Is believed to set a record in the arrest, trial and sentencing of a person charged with violation of a federal statute in the federal district in which Omaha 1s located.
