SAUSAGE MAKER OF LAKE VIEW
Playwright Inspired by the LuetSert
Trial 10 Write n Play

CHICAGO, Oct. 9, 1ss7.-The Luetgert
trial has inspired a local playwright to
write a play entitled "The Sausage-Mak-
er of Lake View" Its premier produc-
ton will be given at Milwaukee avenue
theatre on Sunday night. One of the
characters is called Mary, another is q
nameless widow, and the principal male
character is to be made up to represent
Luetgert. Mrs. Luetgert's name does
not appear in the cast of characters.
The story of the play the author has
carefully shrouded in mystery, but some
startling and realistic scenic representa-
tions are to be expected. He insists, how
ever, that the story told in the four acts
of the drama is not blood curdling melo-
drama, as might be supposed from the
title, but a bucolic love tale.
If the play succeeds the ambitious au-
thor will try to secure for the title role
Mr.. Luetgert himself, provided, of course,
the sausage maker Is not convicted.

THE SMALLEY CONCERT.
An Excellent Corps of Artists and a
Fine Entertainment.

good audience gathered last night
at the Congregational Church to listen
10 the first concert given under the
auspices of the Young Mems Christian
Association, the artists being the
Smalley Concert Company.
The quartet is composed of Marie
Louise Pennie and Grayce E. Gilmore
sopranos, and Esther May Plumb and
Gertrude Sprague, altos and it was, on
the whole, the most pleasing and eff
fectlVe lady quartet that has appeared
mere All the numbers We're rendered
we'll and each obtained an encore. but
the best one was Hear Dem Bells" and
1t needed to be heard to be appreciated,
the deep, resonant tones of Miss
Spragues voice reverberating through
the hall, while the others filled in the
harmony as they rose and fell in per-
feet accord and faithful imitation. Miss
Sprague has a remarkable alto voice
which she uses with fine effect, her
lower tones being full and powerful.
Miss Pennie disappointed her audi
ence, but the disappointment was oc-
casloned by her being down on the pro-
gramme for one number only and she
had to respond to an encore, which end
ed by her leading the audience captives.
Her voice is full, round, sympathetic
and highly trained and her trills and
roulades We're sung artistically. She
will be welcomed here again.
Miss Gilmore gave a very pleasing So
prano solo, which was encored, but the
audience could only judge of the quail
ity of Miss Plumbs voice by what it
heard in the quartet
Miss Maud Caruthers proved herself
one of the very best elocutionists ever
heard here, her recitations taking a
wide range, and she gained on the audi
ence more and more, until in her last
reading she had to respond to a second
encore and has established herself as
a prime favorite.
The second entertainment of the
course will be given by Arthur J.
Loning, who is highly spoken of as an
impersonator, monologist and tragic
and humorous reader
