Alone but not aloof sat the blind Senator, Minnesota's Schall. His whole outlook is different, says his wife, now that he has a German police dog, "Lux," to lead...
...Lionel Barrymore with an opportunity to do a highly effective imitation of Lon Chaney imitating a three-fingered master crook. Despite his missing digit, Mr. Barrymore is capable of opening all kinds of sliding doors and secret panels; but he is incapable of stealing the picture from a police dog called Rex in the picture (real name Napoleon).

This machine-the "Baker Bar-ette"-is usually made with a red-lacquer finish. Some are equipped with the heads & tails of animals (cock, horse, dog) sticking out at either end, to support the leaves which, when folded, cover the box, and, when unfolded, serve as a depository for used glasses...
