PARAMOUNT ARTCRAFT WEEK Marguerite Clark "GIRLS" Rearrest Alleged Drug Peddler After Few Hours' Liberty Just one-half hour after Sidney Allen, 1008 Capitol avenue, was re leased from jail Thursday afternoon under bonds for violation of the Harrison drug act, the morals squad, under Sergeant Thestrup, re-arrested him on a similar charge at Fif teenth and Burt streets. "All those fellows do is keep their eyes on me," Allen remarked when arrested. "They're afraid to go after the big bugs." The arresting officers, Sergeant Thestrup and Detectives Armstrong, Herdzina and Crawford, say that Allen had a quantity of cocaine and morphine on him.

Great interest continues to be manifested in the "Perfect Lover Contest" being conducted by The Bee, judged by the number of let ters being received by the Movie Contest Editor. Contributors seem to be influ enced more by their age, sex and en vironment in setting forth their ideal of the perfect lover than by anv other factors. Mothers and fathers describe the perfect lover as pos sessing ideals radically different from those attributed to him by the younger generation. Ihe women s ideal lover also differs greatly from the perfect lover as described by the male contributors. Started By O'Brien. Sixteen prizes, ranging from $10 in cash for the first prize, offered by The Bee, to two tickets for the Strand theater, are offered to those who best depict the perfect lover, Five dollars in cash will also be given to the second and third prize winners. The discussion on the attributes of the perfect lover was precipitated AMUSEMENTS, (" L "Si B-R-A-N-DtE-I-S STARTS Tom orro wTC 4 Shows Matinee 1 Evening 7 - r hssA SJ-JOWS aioVel entertainment at popular PRICES . irv CONJUCTfON WITH THE OR E ATfrST COriEDV MACK SEN 0I&77, .EVER PRO DUCED' Zff2gJ 1 fliitiliffl A I w n sTTl TI 11 niSt If 11 Vi fi Vi n n II II I r f nL fill 4 PBH ii liAnTthTf mu vjrx n ii v Ain - .Mrnm w mr m mm mm ova. mm i n. ii if . i-i i rii ii" mm J 8EM TURPJN-f ORD STERLING -CHAPIES OURRV - CHESTER CONrUltN 1 A f7 SEATS i ( Attend the O I NOTMim BUT f M shows i mm4a.t Cents I ilfj RESERVED FOR 7:30 SEATS NOW SELLING Matinees- 600 Seats 25 r - - - - I Tomorrow Sept. 7th Tomorrow The Secret Is Out MACK SENNETTS BATHING BEAUTIES and "YANKEE DOODLE IN BERLIN" arrive at the BRANDEIS jgi m My HEART and My HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations of a Wife EUGENE O'BRIEN 7 S?K by tugene O Bnen, who as star in the picture called "The Perfect Lover" established himself as the supreme lover of filmdom. Do you believe that our age can produce a perfect lover? Perfect Lover Impossible In these times of stress and death of flaming passion and extreme mis ery, the perfect flower of a perfect love cannot exist. We may love our sweetheart, our mother. friend or an ideal but we cannot be the perfect lover in the larger sense the man or woman who loves and understands all things. Intol erance is too rampant in this small world of ours for perfect love to reign. And anyway who wants perfec tion in love? Life is livable be cause of our petty troubles, differ ences and failures. Place everv. thing, including love on the hum drum scale of perfection, and inter est dies. TL ? r . . , , xne imperieci lover, tne numan lover, with all his faults, is to be preferred to the perfect lover with no imperfections or faults to love, for love makes perfection where it does not exist Ada.

W. Griffith'. Special "ROMANCE OF HAPPY VALLEY" Why Madge Felt that Mr. Stock bridge Had Much to Explain. It was upon my lips to say that I did not doubt the statement of Milly Stockbridge's family to the effect that her husband had threatened to divorce her but an hour before she was found dead. But one look at Alice Holcomb's face stopped the words upon my lips, it was full of the irony which her voice had held. To her the story was false, only concocted by the dead woman's family in an attempt to throw suspicion upon the man whose life she had ruined. But to me was a confirmation of a theory I had alternately accept ed and rejected since the terrible moment when Milly Stockbridge's telephone threats to me were cut short in such sinister, mysterious tashion. Kenneth Stockbridge had returned home only that afternoon. He had not 'seen his wife since her discovery of Alice Holc6mbe's photograph with its tender inscription in the secret drawer of his private desk. Indeed he knew nothing of her opening his desk or of her desecra tion of the secret he had guarded so long and with such exquisite honor. It was Milly Stockbridge's first opportunity to tax her husband with here discovery. I had seen enough of her to be sure that she had wasted no time in unloading her accumulated wrath unon him could imagine her animal rage, and the vile epithets she must have heaped upon both him and the woman enshrined with such sacred ness in his heart. Words That Echo. If Kenneth Stockbridge had fin ally turned upon his tormentor, shrivelled her with his denuncia tions, and then had gone to her peo ple with a demand for a release from the burden he had so long carried, it was no more than any dispassionate observer familiar with his storv would have deemed fully justified. But of course, taken in connection with her sudden death only a few moments later the story had a most sinister look. Between five and half-past. The words echoed in my ears. Yes, it was about half after five when Milly Stockbridge in u rage so towering to make her voice almost unrecognizable had telephoned n e. had wondered at that time what had happened to rouse to life her nsane wrath. Ihe story of her relatives answered my qestion. But it threw no light upon-another question which had been with me ever since the tragedy. I turned to Alice Holcombe with an air of agreement with her theory, and made an apparently casual suggestion: I suppose thev claim that was the 'errand' which Mrs. Stockbridge saye he made at her house. You remember you told me he said he had gone there." A Memory Picture. "Yes," and it is so unfortunate that he did go over there. It gives color to the story. And I'm so fraid they are working to make out a case against him. They kept in sinuating that he is lying in his account of finding Milly. They agree with his statemet that he was only at their house a few moments, but they say he said at first that he went straight home and found her. That would mean that he waited nearly an hour before telephoning Dr. Irons. But they accuse him of chang- ng his story later," she went cn, saying that when he went into the house about five-thirty, on his re turn from his father-in-law's, he did not see her, and that he went out gain upon an errand, and upon his return after six found her lying near he telephone. But the last state ment is the one I believe Kenneth made. Several persons heard him say that, while there is only the fam- ly s word for .the first story they Iaim he told. You say he says he went into the house at five-thirty and did not see her? The question escaped me involuntarily. Yes. Why? Her voice held a startled inflection which warned me not to betray the reason for my query. "Nothing," I returned inelegantly. "It was simply an idle question." But my brain was busy with the picture my memory was calling up. At five-thirty Kenneth Stock bridge had re-entered his home after going to his father-in-law's.At five thirty, Milly Stockbridge, seated at the telephone, whe.e her husband could not possibly help seeing her as he passed through the hall, was uttering vile threats against Alice Holcombe and me in a raucous scream which must have been audi ble all through the house. And but a minute or two later she had cried out in fear, and the telephone had been suddenly silenced. The sound of the front door being "officially opened" by the janitor for :he arrival of the teachers and the voices of the two earliest rrivals put an abrupt stop to our dialogue. But I carried away with me like a buzzing gnat the conviction that Kenneth Stockbridge had much to explain. " ' (Continued Monday.) Red Cross Executive Writes of Suffering of The Jews In Poland First hand information of the suffering of Jews in Poland reached E. A. Franquemont, director of the Nebraska campaign for the relief of Jewish war sufferers abroad, yester day in a report from Dr. Haim L. Davis of Chicago, who was an American Red Cross commissioner in Poland for a number of months. "The tragedy of the next few months in eastern Europe," wrote Dr. Davis, "bids fair to equal, if not to surpass that of the actual war years themselves. Words are utterly inadequate to describe the suffering from poverty, starvation, disease and other allied causes that is met on every hand. Literally hundreds of thousands of thee un fortunate victims of circumstances are looking to America as their only hope, but it is a question if America has not heard so much of suffering in recent montns tnat it is numbed and perhaps cannot fully realize the terrible crisis that now confronts vast numbers of people abroad." The Nebraska campaign is set for September 15-22. George Brandeis is treasurer of the committee. Army Officer Opens Bids For Brown Denim Cloth Sealed bids for 95,000 yards of brown denim cloth, offered for sale by the Omaha zone surplus supply office at the army building, were opened yesterday.

Poindexter, of Kansas City, Mo., who offered 21 J4 cents a yard for 10,000 yards of first quali ty denim, and 20'A cents a yard for 18.588 yards of second grade mate t ial. .MM Mill Bowen's Value-Giving Furniture Stor M I M I I M Now that the Stale Fair U over and mott folk are back from their ' vacation, it remains for "King Ak" to be the entertainer for Omaha's last fall festivities, and the H.
