Wardrobe.
The friends Of John Kellerd. the actor. were
not greatly surprised to learn yesterday that
he had been robbed OF the greater part OF his
wardrobe. Ever since Mr.. Kellerd joined the
theatrical profession none OF his friends re-
members to have seen him attired In q shabby
garment. This is not due to Mr.. Kellerd's
vanity for dress. but to the fact that no has
been unable to keep suit OF clothes long
enough in his possession to test Its durability.
When he appeared in Tho Clemenceau
Case at the Standard Theatre he lost eleven
coNts and waistcoats A few months later he
went to Boston with company. and while
there was relieved OF several pairs OF trousers.
BY some fatality the thieves have. In most In
stances, taken incomplete suits. As q result
Mr.. kellerd spends considerable part OF his
tune in trying to match remnants.
Mr.. kellerd has been living for the past year
at 2G0 West Forty-third street. Friday night,
whom he returned to his rooms no found them
in confusion. He instinctively made n rush to
his clothes press. II was empty. The unfor-
tunate actor 10 now the possessor OF q pair OF
dress trousers and one suit. whichla few days
aRo he DECIDED to discard after Easter. Mr..
Kellerd values this stolen property at $500. He
put an advertisement In tho apers Offering .
reward for tho lost clothing. Mr.. Kellerd
would like to meet the thief and draw up an
agreement to be relieved at less frequent in
tervals. In order that he may prepare himself
for morg encies.
