'EXCUSE MY DLL ST
A PARAMOUNT ARTCRAFT PICTURE
Wallace Reid proves that he is a
speed demon of parts as well as an
entertaining comedy star in "his new
picture, "Excuse My Dust," which
opens a , seven days' run at the
Strand theater Jhis evening.
Mr. Reid has the role of the
young manager of the "Darco" auto
agency. His business rivals, the
"Fargot" people, are most anxious
to secure a sketch of the new "Dar
co" motor, supposed to be a marvel
for speed and nower. AcceDtinsr a
challenge for a road race. Wallie is
fouled by his rivals, but manages to
cripple them go that Theodore Rob
erts, in the role of "The Bear."
president of the "Darco" company
flashes over the line a winner.
Ann Little makes an exceedinclv
attractive leading woman. Tullv
Marshall and Guv Oliver are also in
the supporting cast Not the least
important member of the company
is the talented little child-actor who
plays Toodles, jr., in the films. Will
M. Kitchey adapated the picture
from a magazine story by Byron
Morgan. It is designed as a seauel
to "The Roaring Road." Wallace
Reid's Drevious auto ratine nirtnr
Sam Wood directed and it is a
Paramount Artcraft.
A tool box. whirtl ran hr tnrtroft
is included within One of the doors'
ot an up-to-date automobile.
"The love of woman is past find
ing out," said the philosopher. And
men have been quoting the saying
for centuries.
In the courts of Douglas county
it is a continual source of wonder
among men that women, "stick" o
even the worst criminals with ' a
steadfastness that is unwavering and
a devotion that is beyond the com
prehension of men.
"I have never known of a crim
inal case where the man's wife did
not stick to him, with the excep
tion of a few where the husband
was accused of wife and child
abandonment, and one or two where
the man had been unfaithful to his
wife," said County Attorney Shot
well. Accepts No Charges.'
"As long as the man still pro
fesses devotion to his wife, nothing
can make her abandon him to his
fate and she won't believe anything
against him, no matter who the
witnesses are.
"A woman came into my office a
few weeTJs ago and asked to have
her husband brought back from an
other state. He had abandoned her
and their five small children. She
was so insistent that we sent and
had him brought back.- He de
clared he was suffering from tuber
culosis though he didn't look it.
Then the woman changed. She
asked to have the case dismissed
and, on the husband's pfomise to
support his family, I dismissed it.
Now Sends Him Money.
"No sooner was the fellow free
than he fled from the city again.
We located him in Denver and were
about to send for him vthen his wife
came in. She said she didn't be-
lie her husband was well and that
she was sending him money o help
support him in Denver, we dis
missed the case."
Mr. Shotwell also mentioned a re
cent case in which a man was ar
rested and charged with bigamy.
Within a few months he had mar
ried two young women in Omaha.
And neither of these was his lawful
wife. His lawful wife was living in
another state.
Complaint was brought against
the' man by the last wife he had
married, a iieautiful young woman,
many years younger than the
bigamist.
"But," said Mr. Shotwell, "before'
the case came to trial, that young
Woman had changed around. She
declared she would stand by the
man who had wronged her. And
she did so, sitting near him in the
court room during the trial. When
he was convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary she was there to
speak words of comfort, to kiss him
goodbye and tell him she would be
waiting for him when his term was
up."
A famous instance was pointed
out by District Judge Troup in the
person of Mrs. Beryl C. Kirk. Kirk
was convicted of manslaughter for
killing Police Officer Frank Rooney,
and sentenced to 20 years in the
penitentiary. His wife worked in
cessantly during the trial and when
he was sentenced, when it seemed
beyond the range of human power
to free him without his serving his
whole sentence, she worked on and
on with unfaltering hope until she
brought about the impossible, and
her husband was furloughed.
Chief Deputy County Attorney
Coffey referred to the case of Gram
mer, now under sentence ot aeatn
at the state penitentiary, whose wife
is working in Lincoln and is untir
ing in her efforts to stop the sen
tence of "death from being earned
6ut. '
Even Jimmie Donaghue.
"And there is the more recent case
ames C. .Donaghue, said Mr.
ey. wno prosecuted Lonagnue
and secured his conviction of assault
and battery on , 19-year-old Marie
Honach.
"Though this man was accused of
more serious assault against this
girl, his wife sat by his side during
the long trial in the most sym
pathetic manner and did everything
to help him.
"It is said that she was also most
active in setting in motion the ma
chinery by which he was pardoned
by Governor McKelvie."

District Court of
Faithfulness.
the Douglas county district court il
lustrated the devotion of a wife.
The man, middle-aged, was accused
of attacking a 14-year-old girl. His
wife sat by his side all through the
trial and did everything in her
power to secure his acquittal.
"I would consider it a phenom
enon if I saw a man being tried, and
did not see his wife standing by
him," said Mr. Coffey. It's rather
different when a woman is on trial.
The husband remains very much in
the background. I recollect a case
about a year ago where a married
woman shot another married woman
because the latter was 'vamping' the
husband of the former, she alleged.
"The husbands of the women did
not appear in the court at all, though
the husband of the woman who was
on trial lived here in Omaha and the
husband of the other not far dis
tant." i

police found him, sans clothing do

Several Appersons
Used In Production
At Strand This Weel
According to information received
trom the producers, several Aooer
sons were using in the exciting road
race shown in Wallace Reids lat
est success, "Excuse My Dust,"
wnicn is being exhibited at the
Strand during the coming week. ,
Some of the old-time fnllnwpra
of the racing game will no doubt
can to mind the fact that the Ap
person Bros, were among the first
automobile manufacturers to enter
the racing game. years ago. In 1905
and 1906 Appersons won a number
oi the races held in the east and,
according to the opinion prevalent
among the race fans in Omaha, the
Apperson was the first car to nego
tiate the coast-to-coast trip. In
1909 the Apperson pulled down first
money in the Santa Monica race,
held at Los Angeles.
The Apperson people claim credit
for building the first four-door au
tomobile, first chummy roadsters,
the first custom-built bodies, the
first to use electrical ignition and
the first to use the now universal
float feed carbHiretor.
According to the Apperson Mo
tor Company of Nebraska, the Ap
person also holds first place in the
estimation of the multitude of mo
torists, and to further this idea thev
have just leased a much larger build
ing at 2526 Dodge, for the purpose
of rendering better service to Ap
person owners.
