ARREST OF ACTOR
CHARGE OF THEFT OF BRACELET.
SOCIETY WOMAN'S INFORMATION.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 7 p.m. New York, March 13. George Arthur Brest, better known by the screen name of George Arthur, who was formerly a British stage comedian, was arrested' upon his arrival from Nassau to-day on a charge of stealing a valuable bracelet from Stephen Raphael, a London banker, at Cannes.
According to the police information against Arthur was supplied by a New York society woman, who on the request of Arthur, and not knowing it was stolen property, brought the bracelet to America, where later she gave it to him.
Arthur is held under a technical indictment of smuggling, although he may be deported to France to stand trial for theft.
Arthur gained considerable prominence in silent motion pictures, in which he teamed with the late Karl Dane, but since the sound pictures began he has been inactive.
