Roland West

Mr.West plays seven parts, the best of which are the old man, Prof. Scribs and the newsboy. A melodramatic struggle between “Reddy” Scribs, the murderer and the police attendant has been added with a green spotlight. West handles the opportunity for Pathos excellently.

William Courtleigh

Taken from the same source as “A Case for Arson.” You can compare the two to see differences in American and Holland police. The Holland police wants justice and the American police wants a conviction.
