This robbery took place Satur- day night and the thieves were very considerate. Only taking a small: portion of the viands that were available, leaving most of them for future time, possibly. An epicurean taste is shown by the one who did the robbing. Chickens in the ice box were not touched but a bowl of chicken gizzards, containing six, was emptied of its contents and while the nurses were debating the question as to how to stop this series of thefts, the robber or rob- bers were probably enjoying gib- let soup or perhaps a saute gesier. The other items on the list of those stolen are six pounds of bac- on, six cans of condensed milk and two heads of lettuce, Easy access can be had to. the. home from the rear, as the fence is in a dilapidated condition and the passage from San Carlos lane is used as a thoroughfare to White- head street by numbers of per- sons.

STRAND “Wild Girl,” the new Fox ro- mance featuring Charles Farrell, Joan Bennett and Ralph Bellamy in the principal roles, shows at the Strand Theater today. It is a stir- ring tale of the California mining story, “Salomy Jane’s Kiss.” Di- rected by Raoul Walsh and filmed almost entirely in the Bret Harte country of the High Sierras, the production is said to have many unique features in addition to its imposing cast. The story hinges on the tem- pestuous romance between a mad- cap fountain girl and a Virginia youth who has. trailed his sister’s betrayer to the California Sierras soon after the Civil War.
