THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY, JANUARY 11. 1919 WANT AUTO RACK VM TAKEN BY BOOZEJOUNDS Automobile Concern Demands Car Becauss of Big Mort gage It Holds Against Vehicle. Has the state of Nebraska, through its agents, the rifiht to con fiscate an automobile used in il legally transporting Intoxicating liquor regardless of property rights retained in the car by the dealer who holds a mortgage against the person accused of violating the state prohibitory law? Arguments on this question were heard Thursday by the supreme court. The district court of Cass county held that the state was vested with such right. The Jones llanscn Automobile company re tained a lien of $3,350 against an automobile purchased from them Ly Sam Finsod, who was arrested in Cass county with a consignment of liquor in the car. The booze and machine were seized by the sheriff, and following an adverse decision in district court, the automobile company has appealed the case fo the supreme court to protect its mortgage rights. In the opinion of the county at torney the decision of the higher court will hinge on a question of legislative intent. He declared that the facts in the case showed that Finsod admitted having used the car illegally and that whisky was found concealed in it two days after he purchased it. The evidence also shows it was declared, that Finsod was a . total stranger to the persons from whom he purchased the car, and that upon the payment of $1000 cash, he was allowed to drive away in the ma chine with a debt of $3,500 aga'nst it It is claimed that it was incum bent upon the company to ascertain some information as to what use the purchaser proposed to put the auto mobile, and as to how he expected to pay the balance due. TIT A ClUr ft S TTT AAT AVTrfc '7HGTO 'VlPCY- OFFERING J FOR, TOP AV ' OKK of the most famous ac tress portrayers of boy roles is emphatically and irrevocably of the opinion that it is better to act the boy thafn to be the boy. "I like to appear as a boy on the . screen," says Violet "Mersereau, who has acted scores of boy part, "but I'm mighty glad I'm not a boy." "Why?" someone asVed. Natur ally the query came from a man. And quite naturally tnd consist ently and true to feminine form, Miss Mersereau answered simply: "Because." When the scenario demands that Miss Mersereau don the character istic trappings of a hoy and act a boy's role, she retires to her dress ing room in the Universal studio and, whether it is boyishly charac teristic or not, she encases her feet first of all in a heavy pair of boy's shoes. 'The psychology," she says, "lies in the shoes. The coat, the trous ers, the boy's cap these give me little of the feeding of being a boy. But the shoes they're 10 sooner on my fret than I begin to forget I'm a girl or ever was a girl. They ma!:e a boy out of mc!"

At that iincture someone mentioned that Kitty Gordon had taken similar irencs the previous day and had also ascended in the airship, jefusing to permit a substitute to work. Helen Keller in her uncanny way demanded the trend of the conversa tion and Miss Gordon's act was re peated to her by lip language. "If Miss Gordon has the iiervc to go up in an airship, so have I," stated Miss Keller. On the Screen Today. STRAND ENTII BENNETT In "FUSS AND FEATHBR8." SIN THKDA 11ARA In "THE SHE llEVir."

"But, Helen," expostulated her companion, "you must not risk your life; your substitute is ready; let her go!" "The substitute can go home! I'm going up in that aeroplane," was the answer.

Strong and determined men should seize and overpower the in dividual wl'.o insists on reciting in a. monotone the personal histories of the stars as they appear on the screen. No movie star ever appeared ro mantic while eating corn on the cob. Director Warde. of the United Picture Theaters, Inc., once filmed a picture entitled "In the Heart ot Africa." It failed because of too much local color. . AT THE THEATERS RESOLVED: That the unbrok en chain of fun enjoyed by Gayetyites during the past seven days shall not be interrupted. Therefore, be it resolved that Lester Allen and "The Bon Ton Girls," be hereby delegated to con tinue, starting" this afternoon, the frothy hilarity and innocently meant humor expected by the thousands of patrons of Omaha's fun center, and to continue same twice each day fot seven consecutive days. Tomor row's matinee, starts at 3:30. Final performances will be given today of the unusual bill at the Orpheum, a show headed by Leona La Mar, "the girl with a thousand eyes." The curtain will rise early tonight, 8 o'clock sharp. Extremely popular as the bill of the current week has been, the entertainment for next week promises to be equally popular. Herman Timberg, in "The, Viol-Inn", is to be one of the many stellar attractions. Another will he the most talented dancers in vaude ville, Mabel and- Dora Ford. A spe cial feature of the show will be the blackface comedian, Al Herman. The musical comedy in which Mr. Timberg is to appear is elaborately staged. The closing performances of "The Unkissed Bride" will be given at the Boyd tafday. On Sunday afternoon "The Broken Rosary," a new play by a new author, will be offered. It is a drama of love and cross-purposes, but the ending is both pleasing and natural. . Those few Omahans who have not already made the acquaintance of charming Mrs. Charlie Chaplin (Mildred Harris) at the Brandeis this week should go today to see her present the well-directed and perfectly-staged offering of "Bor rowed Clothes." "Infatuation," starring Gaby Des lj, will be the attraction at the Brandeis for the week beginning January 12 (with the exception of Thursday evening). "Oh Charmed," the musical com edy headline attraction at the Em press theater, will close its engage ment with tonight's performance. A dainty offering is the act presented by the Melroy sisters, in which sing ing and dancing predominate. Many Factories Seeking Locations in Gate City Officers of the Chamber of Com merce feel that they are ah eady be ginning to reap good results from the campaign of magazine advertis ing that is being carried on by the publicity departmelit. They have received many inquiries recently from responsible men all over the country, asking for partictJais re garding the advisability of lorating factories here. Mr. Gillan of the industrial committee says in the last few days communications have been received regarding the follow ing lines: Two flouring null inquir ies, one wholesale dry goods, one silo agency, and one silo manufac turing plant of tile block construc tion, auto tire reconstruction plant, and one large -broom factrry wish ing to establish a branch here.
