They both know their lines: Police Lieutenant Roy Harlacher, fingerprint expert ofi Los Angeles, helped another expert, Lon Chaney, brush up for his detective role inf "While the City Sleeps" Another Lon Chaney {Continued from page 41) His articles on penology, rehabilitation and kindred subjects, appear regularly in leading prison publications and are eagerly read and quoted by the inmates. A recent article in "The Island Light," the prison-published organ of the convict body of McNeil Island Penitentiary', has been translated for reprint in similar papers all over the world. Chaney is often requested to address convict bodies, and this year, picture-making permitting, he will be one of the principal speakers on the program of the annual meeting of the Sing Sing Mutual Welfare League. These invitations come from the convicts, not the officials. Only a man of broad understanding and deep human sympathies could thus merit the recognition, respect and confidence of two so definitely opposed factions. That Lon Chaney has found time to gain such eminence in so difficult a profession as that of criminology', in addition to his many other interests, is a tribute to the versatile mind behind the mask of his screen impersonations. The Society He Enters EVER the student, the seeker after knowledge of life, Lon finds far more pleasure in the study of the criminal, the hobo and the down-and-outer than in the society with which his position in pictures entitles him to mingle. This knowledge, gained by rubbing against the ragged edges of life, has kindled in him a sympathy for the underdog. To him, the man who has run afoul of the law is not a vicious individual to be segregated and treated as a mad dog, but a human being, like himself, to whom life has been unkind. "Criminals and law-breakers," says Lon, "are uncomfortably (for some people) like ourselves. There is, of course, the occasional individual who is utterly depraved and inherently vicious, but even he is more a case for the psychiatrist than the penologist. Men on the inside of our jails are no more wholly bad than men on the outside are wholly good, and the line between the two is often faintly drawn. "We need more correction and less pun ishment. If your automobile ceases to per] form, you send it to be repaired, noi| punished. If your tooth aches, you go to ; dentist — not to be punished (although yotJ usually are), but to find the trouble ancj correct it. The man who runs afoul of thcJ law has something that needs repairing and.l like the man in the dentist's chair, he must] undergo a certain amount of punishment inj] the process. Honesty Could Be the Policy I'\"E met and talked with hundreds ofij criminals, both in jail and out, and it ] is my firm belief that every man has an inherent desire to be a respected member of j society. The man who goes to prison should > be given an opportunity to equip himself j to earn an honest living upon his release. His term should be devoted to educating | him to take a decent place in society rather | than a post-graduate course in crime, as ' happens all too often to-day. It is not an insoluble problem. Much could be done i toward its solution by taking p)olitics out 1 of our prisons and placing their administration in the hands of those who have a firm, yet sympathetic understanding of the lawbreaker and his problems. "The placing of police officers at schoolcrossings will, in my estimation, prove one of the most effective instruments in reducing crime among the growing generation. When 1 was a boy, the 'cop' was an individual to be feared and avoided. Mothers obtained obedience by threatening to 'let the policeman get you.' With a police officer at every school-crossing, children realize that he is a likable person, to whom they can look for protection and help. Don't tell me that they won't grow up with a different attitude toward the law, and the forces that represent it, than the past generations have!" Tradition-Breaker ION CHANEY has never lived the J traditional life of the motion picture star. He prefers studying human nature in the raw to observing it half-baked. He sees more in a grub worm than in a butterfly, {Continued on page gy) 94
