At the PLAY Last Nieht.

Harry Corson Clarke repeated the
clever Interpretation he gave the char
acter of Jones" in Broadhurst's hill
arious sufficiency" last season at the
Crawford theater last night A fair
sized audience saw the farce for the
second time. and because of the severe
storm, the attendance proved the ex-
cellent impression made by Mr.. Clarke
on his first visit here.
1t would be hard to ina CINE a more
ingenious Jones' than Mr. Clarke pro-
duces. His expressive face and bland
smile stand him well in portraying the
drummer who sold playing cards in fast
towns and hymn books in slow towns.
Mr.. Clarke has a great fund of clever
ness to draw on. and handles admirably
the ridiculous situations of the piece.
The company seen with Mr.. Clarke is
scarcely equal as a whole to that here
with him last season. The perform
ance last night was marred to some ex-
tent by that fact that Mr.. Daniel Hall
fax, who is cast in the part of Rich
ard was too i'll to go on with his work
and Mr.. Charles w. Ferriss who makes
an excellent Thomas Holem' was com

were discharged because they had dis
graced his company.
Mrs. Bruguire is the wife of Pedre
Bruiguire, a San Francisco capitalist and
a member of the well known California
family of that name Miss Irving s
real name is Plunkett, and she is the
daughter of a well known attorney of
San Francisco. Both have been prom
inent in society in that city.
Miss Irving is but 10 years of age,
and her engagement with Mr.. Clarke
was her first experience on the stage.
Mrs. Bruiguire appeared with Nine
ModjesRa for a short time during a stay
of that actress in California
Miss Irving and Mrs. Bruiguire have
been guilty of conduct I will not coun-
tenance among members OF my COM
pany," said Mr.. Clarke last night. Mr..
Clarke then related in detail some of
the infractions of the young women.
Then he added: In addition to these
occurrences the conduct of Miss irving
and Mrs. Bruiguire publicly have been
unbecoming. I have frequently seen
them roll and smoke cigarettes while
waiting for trains in depots. Such ac-
tions would be all right if they were
members of some companies, but 1 do
not intend to countenance it among
members of my organization.
This is the first time that 1 have had
such experiences with members of my
company" continued Mr.. Clarke. Il
regret exceedingly that it has occurred.
1 took Miss Irving and Mrs. Bruiguire
out of the ranks of San Francisco so
ciety becaused believed them to have
ability and be worthy of assistance
Both have ability but their actions
have placed them past any further as
sistance from me-
Both Miss Irving and Mrs. Bruiguire
have a charming stage appearance, and
it is difficult to imagine them smoking
cigarettes in a depot waiting room.
When seen last night both admitted
the severance of connections with Mr..
Clarke, stating that it was because of
dissatisfaction.
At first Miss Irving threatened to at
tach the baggage of the company for
an amount equal to two weeks salary
on the ground that she had been dis
charged without two weeks notice. Mr..
Clarke stated that he told her two
weeks ago that she would have to leave
his company. She finally concluded not
to cause trouble

LIVES ON MILK AND TAFFY.
How Actor Harry Corson Clarke
Fooled the Doctors

Five quarts of milk and one pound Of
molasses taffy.
This is the daily food of Harry Cor
son Clarke, who was seen as the ingen-
ious Jones" at the Crawford theater
last night
1t is probably the most peculiar diet
of any man in the country. 1t has been
his exclusive diet for the past four
months, and since that time he has
gained in flesh from 80 to 1877 pounds.
For several years Harry Corson
Clarke has been medical enigma
Doctors all over the United States have
had a fling at him, and all agreed
that his trouble was nervous dyspep-
STA. But diagnosis was as far as it was
possible for the doctors to go, for no
one of the many members of the medi-
can profession consulted were able to
help him
When Mr.. Clarke was here early last
season he was a physical wreck. He
says his mind never went to sleep, and
while constantly hungry he was unable
to take food without several hours pain
here he closed his season and went east
to make what he believed was a last
attempt to secure aid from medicine.
