HE GAVE HIS SWEETIE
BLANK, SIGNED CHECKS,
SHE'S WED, HE'S IN DEBT
A story of unrequited love was told
by Carl Whipple, Mapon, when he appeared before Justice D. ■ Z. Curtiss
to answer a charge of. passing a.
worthless check oh Peoria Life Insurance Company Ear $31.74.
Whipple claimed he became infatuated with a girl named Lela 'Brown,
to the extent of providing her with
several blank,, signed checks some
months ago, and up to the present
time the love affair has cost him
$3,000, he said, - To make matter!
worse, £he still has two or three of
the Checks .and in the meantime she
has married anotl-er man.
Life insurance was among the luxuries sh.e provided 'for herself with
liis money, Whipple told the Judge.
Writing on tihe check seemed to substantiate his claim.
Finding himself involved wirh the
law, Whipple came voluntarily to
Ypsilanti, with sufficient funds io
make good and expense,*- involved by
the county in seeking his apprehension. After making full payment the
complaint against him was withdrawn.
Whipple stated that he was returning to Ma.'~on , by way o'* Pontine
a.n/l would endeavor to regain possession of the .remaining checks to
whicli. he had affixed his signature-—
Ypsilanti ian-Press.
Every ambitious boy dreams of the .
time when he will  go out into the '
big world and retiurn to the old home
town,   famous  and    rich.    Then  the j
mean old grouch on the corner, the
stingy grocesr who  kept too close an
eye on his bananas, the catty school- 1
marm, the    patronizing wife   of the j
town's   "big  man"  who objected  • to ,
juvenile     sniffling—exerybody     will
swell with "pride and importance, and
"I knew him wfren" will be tihe town's
slogan. ' i
That is the fundamental theme of '
Thomas Meighan's latest Paramount
comedy-romance, "01d_Home Week,"
which comes to the Liberty theatre
Saturday and Sunday. But ^George
Ade, the famous American humorist
who wrote the story, has given this
basic idea an original twist, filled it
with comedy ingredients, added some
dramatic trimmings, a surprise climax and a delightful ending, and the
result is a picture.bubbling over with
wholesome humor, clean fun and
homespun pep.
As Tom Clark, the native son who
"makes good" right in his own home
town. Tommy Meighan has a role
that suits him to the proverbial 'T."
Hiis performance rings true because
there is an air of lunaffected naturalness about it, an undercurrent .of sincerity and plausibility that holds the
interest df the audience from the
opening flash-In to the final fadeout.
