THEME HE IS! 11l T HE WASN'T! "There he Is!" cried the second lieutenant, pointing at William B. Davidson in the lobby of the Lamlv* Club. The officer and his sergeant stepped up to Mr. Davidson and sari, "You are under arrest." Since that day, only a month age, Mr. Davidson has had a great deal of sympathy for anyone under suspicion. As a young detective in "Partners of the Night, he is trailing a gang of crooks In whose number is a vounr woman named Mary Reagan ' Mr Davidson plays a new kind of detec tive. for as Bob Clifford in Lerov Scott s story he believes in thinking bis crooks are innocent until he finds them guilty. "Partners of the Night' is the first picture that the Eminent Authors have produced at the eastern Goldwyn studio and is under the direction of Paul Scardon When William B. Davidson was ar rested he protested very strongly, but be had to go to Governor's Island and lace the commanding officer. He didn't look at all like the picture of the man the U. S. Armv was seeking as a deserter, but he had to go through with it. He had been a sec ond lieutenant in the armv and he knew his rights as a private citizen. Facing the commanding officer, a gruff old army veteran, he was asked "Are you William Ti. Davidson, charged with desertion?" "No!" "I believe." said the C. 0.. "that in the army you have been taught to say 'No. Sir!' " Mr. Davidson drew himself up as a private citizen, and said. "Yes. wiien I was in the army I said 'Yes. Sir' and 'No. Sir,' but I am not William B. Davidson, a deserter, and I believe I have the privilege of saying 'Yes' and 'No.' I have here the papers showing my honorable discharge from the service." "This man is dismissed." said the commanding officer. It seems that a person by the name of Wm. J-t. David son, a deserter from the army, bad also left a wife and child in Port Henry, N. Y. The Goldwyn Mr. Davidson acted in pictures in lumber scenes at Port Henry, and there the trouble started. He is playing oppo site Pinna Nesblt in "Partners of the Night" and was formerly in Goldwyn Pictures as leading man with Madge Kennedy. Missing Soldier Found For German Mother New York, Dec. IC.—Tlie happiest platoon sergeant in the Forty-eighth Infantry at Camp Jackson, S. C., to-day is Hans Wedemann. Two months ago the newspapers told the story of how the Knights of Colum bus had been requested to find Ser geant Wedentann, when his mother wrote a letter appealing to the "Casey" organization from her little home on the Eints Cuttelerstrusse. Hamburg, Germany. Mrs. Wede mann told how she had not heard from her boy who was an American soldier stationed in the Canal Zone for several years. Among the many thousand per sons attracted by the story was Miss Isabel Uccker, of Brooklyn. She corresponded with a soldier whom she knew was stationed at Panama and requested him to find out it Sergeant Wedemann was still lo cated there. After a short delay due to the long distance mails have to travel to the Canal Zone, Miss Becker received an answer to her reply. The letter stated that Wede mann had been transferred to Com pany M, Forty-eighth Infantry, at Camp Jackson. She turned the in formation over to the Knights of Columbus Committee on War Activi ties and the soldier was located. i To Fortify the System Against Grip I Take LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE Tablets which destroy germs, act as a Tonic and Laxative, and thus pre vent Colds.
