We do not beat the life out of them we put new life into them. "Brighten your home with clean rugs." The Charlotte Laundry 444 Phones 445' San Francisco Nov. 29. Rebuttal testimony was the order of the day at the re-opening or the Roscoe Ar buckle manslauafhtei- trial this morn ing. The district attorney's office, after a conference of all tnose engaged in the prosecution, announced that about forty witnesses would be heard. The testimony eac:i is expected to give is so brief, however, that it was indicated it probably would be com- ! pic ted today. Ar buckle's own story of the events ai a party he gave in his suite in the Hotel St. Francis here, at which ' the prosecution contends he administered fatal injuries to Mis. Virginia Rappe, was given to the jury yesterday. In substance, he said ?ie found her ill and did everything in his power to allay her suffering. Cross-examination failed to make him change any par ticular of his description. Arbuckle testified that the party in his rooms was entirely impromptu, that only a few had been invited but' that the others had dropped in later and remained. He declared that he had an engagement to go out and, when he left the party and went into hia bedroom, it was for the purpose of changing his clothes to keep this appointment. "I locked my door to keep the women and others out of the room. Then I went into the bathroom. The bathroom door struck against the prostrate form of Miss Rappe. That was the first time I knew she was in the room," Arbcukle said. "Then what did you do?" Leo Fried man, assistant district attorney, con ducting the cross-examination asked. "I picked her up and held her head." "Did you say anything to her?" he was asked. "Not a word, she was gasping and had a hard time getting her breath." "Later I asked her: 'Is there any thing I can do for you?' She said: 'No, just leave me lie on the bed. Eefore this I nad given her two glasses or water." "How did she get from the bathroom M her bed?" "She walked, I helped her a little." WAS "THRASHING ABOUT." Later Arbuckle returnefl to the bathroom. "When he returned, he j tilled. Miss Rappe was "thrashing about' on the floor. The witness said he picked her up and placed her on the bed, demonstrating the manner ,n which he did so. "Did she say anything then?" "I don't remember. She was groan ing holding her stomach and twisting about." "I went out of the room. The ..first rorson I saw was Miss Prevost. I said 'Virginia is sick'." "Miss Prevost was close to the d"xr when I went out. i did not see Mrs. Delmont. I could not tell how long I was in the room." Arbuckle grew somewhat angered I snmpwlmt rif a KT?r-n into bis an swers. "When I returnee:," he said, "Vir giniaw as tearing at her clothes. One sleeve of her dress was hanging by a few threads and I pulled it off. Later I told Harry Boyle, assistant manager of the hotel, 'the girl is sick and I want to get her another room'." "You never told anyone anything ex cept that Miss Rappe was ill?" he was asked. "I did not" "Did you hear l!ss Rappe make any statement at aiiy time after you found her ill?" "No, except when she asked for water and wanted to lie down." "After Miss Rappe was taken away. I put on a golf suit and soft shirt. Later I put on a dinner suit and went down to the hotel dining rocm." Arbuckle squirmed in his seat and seemed uneasy under the fast-coming questions. "I asked Mr. Boyle to get a doctor." he said. Nobody had sug-ested getting a doctor until Boyle arrived, Arbuckle su'd. The witness said that, while he was I there, all of Mi.s Ra;;e's clothes were ti:ken orr and Mrs. uelmont placed an ict: bag under her head. WAS ICE OX THE BED. "There was ice on the bed, too," he scid. "I took up a piece of the ice from Miss Rappe's body and Mrs. Delmont told me to put it bauK. "I told her to shut up or I would throw her out of the window. Then I put the piece of ie back where I found it." .Arbuckle said while the party gue. Q were trying to relieve. Miss Rappe he tcld Mrs. Delmonte "go and dress" as she was attired in pajamas. Miss Rappe was unconscious at the time ice was being applied, he said. Frank Dominguez, Los Angeles, at torney was the first person he told of having found Miss Rappe in the bathroom, Arbuckle raid. Dominguez was his former counsel. At the conclusion of Arbuckle's testimony the detense offered the de position of Dr. Maurice H. Rosenberg, of Chicago, which said that in 191S', he treated Miss Rappe for a bladder ailment. Miss Rappe. cied as the result of a bladder rupture, said by the prosecution to have been caused by external force applied by Arbuckle. The defense alleges that the injury W3 3 the result of a chronic condition. The court allowed the deposition to go into the record sver the prosecu tion's protest. The case is expected to go to the jury Thursday. friend, the death of her husband In a train wreck, her final success in the opera with a real love as the crowning triumph these are the experiences of Lily Becker, and they provide Hope Hampton with a great opportunity to exercise her histrionic ability. The story, adapted by Anthony Paul Kelley from Fanny Hurst's immortal "Stardust," is given a remarkable in terpretation on the screen. Abounding with human interest, tinged with love, pathos, tragedy and a crowning happi ness, there is not a single dull mo- ! ment in this great motion picture drama, which ranks with the best film productions of recent times. Doris May At Ottoway. Fitting Miss Doris May as snugly as a new pair of gloves, "The Foolish Age," her first starring vehicle for R-C Pictures Corporation, already has won a place as one of the foremost laugh- makers of the year. It is being screen ed at the Ottoway theater, where it will remain today and Wednesday. Written by Hunt Stromberg, express ly for Miss May's starring debut, "The Foolish Age" has a novel idea that adapts itself readily to humorous sit uations. Mr. Stromberg's familiarity with Miss May's talents on the screen has enabled him to fashion her initial vehicle so that the charming young star appears to her absolutely best ad vantage. Miss May appears as the debutante daughter of a doting and wealthy fath er who believes that her prospective husband should be a man of wealth and position like himself. Margie, however, has an opposite view. More over she has a big idea and decides to put it immediately into effect. She decides to uplift the fallen and the downtrodden and starts about her task with a rush of enthusiasm. IS FROZEN TO DEATH AT BOTTOM OF LAKE The Pas, Monitoba, Nov. 29.

They are not the opening fea ture or tne dm, out occupied a prom inet place among the bill's excellencies, according to the opinion of many audi tors. The woman member of the duo, a vivacious brunette, is exceedingly personable in appearance and also dan ces well. As an exponent of the should er-shaking "school of dancing she leaves almost nothing to be desired. Sternie & Bloom, blackface artists won many laughs from the audience by their riduculous yarns, most of which were so far overdrawn as to meet ail requirements for negi-o comedy. Steph ens & Hollister present an iimv.sin? sketch entitled "Back in the Bevvuiy Hills", while Bell and Eva. in a camou flaged sketch entitled "At the Soda Fountain", present a clever asrobaije act with a springboard as the principal apparatus. Jean Berzac's petite indoor circus with ponies and a real, live, kicking and bucking mule on the stage, adds plenty of zest and some amusement. THEATERS Last Showing of Hope Hampton's Tlay. A great, gripping human story trans: formed into life itself by way of the screen. Briefly, that summarizes "Star Dust," the First National Attraction, with beautiful Hope Hampton appear ing in the featured role, which was given its first public showing in the United States yesterday at the Broad way theater here. This special pre release was arranged by Manager Craver in compliment to Miss Hamp ton, who arrived here yesterday morn ing to attend the opening of the Southern Motion Picture Exposition to. night, the opening day being known as Hope Hampton day. "Star Dust" will be presented again today at the Broadway theater, and to day only, as Manager Craver announc ed last night that Richard Barthel mess' new play, "Tol'able David" would be presented Wednesday and Thurs day, while Mr. Barthelmess is a visitor in this city. Hope Hampton, scintillating star, rises to new heights in this absorbing screen drama and wins fresh laurels as an artist of the silent drama. Miss Hampton has the role of Lily Becker, a native of a small town in the middle west, whose longing to ex press herself in the world of music meets only derison at home. She is made the victim of a loveless marriage; and soon after leaves her brutal hus band, bravely trying to carve out a career for herself unaided.
