Convict, Disquised as Woman, Nearly Escapes }' THE SEATTLE STAR Enrollment Is Open | in Language Classes Makes Clothes Himself, But Fails to Get by Fagle-Eye of Warden LINCOLN, Neb, Oct. 11 Bitynge and all theatrical tmp “Kid” Cole | came within an ace of walking out| came wtihin an ace of walking out | its doors as one of a group of coun-| try people who had just finished touring the institution. | He had dressed himself up in a} woman's costume he had designed | and made himself in odd moments out of bits of material he had stolen from the upholstery and chair shop | in prison, where he worked. | CAUGHT DESPITE | HIS DISGUISE | Cole, in this disguise, had allowed | himself to be escorted with the| crowd thru the larger part of the| prison by a bevy of “hard-boiled” guards, who never noticed he was not a woman. He had the ill-luck, as the crowd was being filtered out, to come under the eagle eye of Dep | * uty Waren Kavanaugh, who recog: | nized him even under his paint and) powder and in his feminine rig. | Prison offictals give him credit for | tremendous cleverness in the prep-| aration of his woman's disguise. It | Was perfect in every detail, and in| nine cases out of ten would have won him his way out. He had perfected a good-looking | hat of cardboard, wire and chair lin- | ings; made a wig out of the fino || black hair used in the better uphol- | stering jobs; swiped from the store- room of the prison theater a pair of women’s black oxfords and tinted | them brown to go with the color| Scheme he had laid out; fashioned | &@ pair of women’s stockings out of | the sleeves of a discarded brown silk jersey; made a corset of blue satin chair backing and fitted with | dozens of eyelets taken from army| hos on the junk pile; carried a brown hand bag; made a neat-look- ing gown out of mercerized brown lining for chairs, SURELY “CLEVER” ‘When and where he did the pains. taking work necessary, the prison officials do not know. Pan Has a Good Bill Russian Dancers Are Best Feature “‘Sarafan,”’ the featured act on the Pantages bill this week, carries a real Russian atmosphere and is pre- sented in one of the most elaborate and artistic settings seen on tha local Pantages stage this season. The act itself is colorful, a company of Slavs presenting somo of Russla’s| best dances. The singing of ¥ Makarenko {s one of. the best fe: tures of the vocal offerings. “Swede” Hall, or Billy, is one of the most popular stars on the new| bill. ‘Hilda, the Original Gem,” is| the name of the comical sketch he presents with the aid of two other yaudevillians. His comedy {s of the sure-fire kind and wins every audi- ence. | A novety act offered by Josephine Davis, pretty young comedienne, and the singing and comedy patter of Denis hot and Nonnette Torini, | in “When the Clock Rings,” are also| very entertaining features that are| being well received this week. Paul and Georgia Hall with their musical act and the juggiing turn of Nestor and Vincent make up the re- mainder of the bill.
