PETTY BURGLARIES
The meat market of A, Ling was
entered at some time during Sunday
night, by forcing one of the ceiling
boards loose, in the “eating room”
and dropping to the floor. Whether
by one or two parties is a matter of
conjecture.
The evidence of the night visit was
discovered by Mr. Ling when he en-
tered the room to the roar of the
aales department, and the finding of
a sliver of wood on the floor, the sli-
ver being a part of the ceiling board.
“If anything was taken, I am not
In a position to so state,” said Mr.
Ling to the reporter.
On the same night the building
used by Ed. Bordovsky as a cold drink
stand was entered from the rear, a
screen being torn to permit the in-
truder to gain entrance. This night
visit was not discovered by Ed. until
the latter part of next morning, when
he was asked if he had a supply of
pennies, which ho said he had. Upon
going to the glass on the counter
shelf, he discovered that the pennies
were miissing.
His curiosity being excited at the
loss of the pennies he made an ex-
amination and found the broken
screen, he also discovered that sev-
eral packages of cigarettes, several
cans of salmon and other articles
were missing. The loose entrance to
the rear of the building has been
l closed, it will require more energy
I and noise to enter from the rear of
| the building, if the attempt is made
again after the building is closed.

“The Rough Riders” at the
Cozy Theatre, Sunday and Monday
In the modern photoplay in which the bigness of theme is of
an importance equal to, if not transcending, that of the story
thread, the casting of players to suit the roles is becoming more
and more vital to the ultimate success of the screen drama,” says
Victor Fleming, who directed Paramount’s epic production “The
Rough Riders” on the site of that historic fighting body’s original
training camp near San Antonio, Texas.
In the selection of his cast for this picture, which brings to
the screen, with faithful realism, one of the most romantic epi-
sodes of American history, Fleming has given interesting illus-
tration to his point. In the selection of the man to play Roose-
velt, the nation was searched for one who would fit as naturally
into the part as did T. R. himself. Frank Hopper does. Then
came the searching for one who would fit equally as well into
the character of Leonard Wood. In Fred Lindsay was found a
man who possessed not only the physical characteristics of Col.
Wood but also the military training and background which gave
him the “fell” for the part.
In the hands of Hopper and Lindsay, the historic characters
are portrayed with a vividness and realism' that/has drawn warm
praise from those veteran Rough Riders, who came from all quar-
ters to relive those stirring days.
With equal care have the “story interest” principals been
selected in the persons of Mary Astor, Charles Emmett Mack,
Charles Farrell, Noah Beery, George Bancroft and Fred Kohler,
each of whom fits into his part with a naturalness that makes
lor vivid realism. Charles Emmett Mack and Charles Farrell,
one representative of the East, the other of the Wpst, constitute
with Mary Astor the triangle which only finds its solution in the
picture’s closing scenes.
Noah Beery, as Sheriff Hell’s Bells has a role to which he
is preeminently suited while George Bancroft as Happy Joe, the
sheriff’s prisoner who breaks jail to join the Rough Riders, ac-
tually lives in that character.
Fred Kohler as Sergeant Stanton is typically the hard-boiled
army sergeant trying to whip a bunch of raw recruits into shape,
who, while capable of hard riding and hard shooting, as became
the men of the old west, knew nothing of military conduct—and
cared less.
“The Rough Riders” will come to the Cozy Theatre on next
Sunday and Monday, September 25 and 26.
