Just before he started playing the principal role in “The Sunshine Trail” the Ince studios in Culver City, MacLean started out on a per: eppearance tour in the prin- cipal cities of the country. In a Httle Missourl town the train made a short stop and local photo- play “fans' boarded his car. Among them was a young mother. This young woman put her baby on MacLean's lap. MacLean’s pho- tographer thought that the baby and the Ince star together would make a good “shot” and set up his camera in the car aisle. The mother was edged into the background. When the picture was finally taken it was found th&t the conductor had hustled all the town folks, Including the mother, off the train. And Mac- Lean found himself with one perfect- ly good baby on his hands, MacLean had to play nursemaid as far as St. Louls, where the distracted mother overtook him on the next train. “Never again,” says MacLean. “I run whenever anyone mentions my picture taken with a pL as, PLANE CRASH FATAL TO SIX AMI France, May The Associated Press.)—Six persona, Including a New Yorker namod Schwab, were killed in the fall of a passenger airplane at Conty, thirteen 15.—(By more, Cleveland, Grand Rapids, New| miles south of this city Monday, |York and San Francisco, persed te Attorney Westover Opens Office Here Bernard G, Westover, a grafuate of the college of law of the Univer- mity of Nebraska at Lincoln tn 1915 ‘and who has practiced where sinco that time with the exception of 18 months when he served overseag as an aviator, has moved to Casper and Opened law offices at 819 Consoli Gated Royalty building.
