Police Probe Movie Holdup (Continued From Page 1) at the Senate Theatre, to hand over Saturday receipts. Meanwhile, investigations are also underway in connection with the ransacking of three Cloverly Heiehts homes, in which the burglar severed telephone wires to hinder pursuit, and two porch robberies elsewhere in the city.

The theatre holdup was about 10.15 d. m. Saturday, a few minutes before the money was to have been taken with a police es cort to a bank close by. The loss is covered by insurance. McKay told Captain of Detec tives Herbert G.

Rupp he was checking the receipts with Miss Elizabeth Aungst, a cashier, in the office of Manager Robert Sidman. Miss Aungst stepped from the office for a moment because of a coughing spell. While she was absent the bandit, revolver in hand, stepped through the par tially open door, demanded the money, forced McKay to sit in a chair, bound him with adhesive tape, and gagged him, using Mo Kay's handkerchief, police were told. The robber did not take Mc Kay's money and overlooked sev eral hundred dollars. As Miss Aungst returned to enter the office, the bandit forced McKay to tell the girl he could perform the checking alone.

When the robber strolled out of the theatre, McKay buzzed the doorman but could not speak to him over the theatre telephone system. He then managed to open the door and Miss Aungst freed him. McKay said the man was about five feet, nine inches tall, weighed about 140 to 145 pounds, and was about 27 years old. Several people in the Square at the time of the holdup said they saw a man answering the description board a bus at Second and Walnut streets.

The telephone wires were cut, Groda told po lice. Lawrence DePalma, a nephew visiting at the same ad dress, told police the thief entered his bedroom, took his trousers to the kitchen, and stole $51 in billfold.

The third Cloverly Heights burglarly was at the home of Samuel D. Koons, 2027 Lenox street, about three hours later. The thief forced a kitchen win dow, cut the phone line, then took a watch. Frederick Kenner, a roomer at 1619 North Fifth street, told po lice a burglar took off his shoes and stockings, climbed a porch to his second floor room and took $7.
