STRONG MELODRAMA AT
THE LOTHR0PS HOUSE

'In a Woman's Power" which opened
a weeks engagement at Lothrop $
Opera House last night is a sensational
,oelodrama that appears to please the
audience which saw 1t last night. 1t is a
story of the secret service, the most ex-
clusive branch of the governments
work and has to do with the fortunes
and rnisfortunes of two counterfeiters,
q man and a woman. The play IS
s,tronely written and full of exciting in
c:dents. 1t is something rather out OF
the ordinary, too in the way OF melo-
dramas. for the william is not one from
his own inclination, but through the
,oisfortune of chance. A pohshed gen
tIen1an. of good breeding, he is so I'M
fortunate as to discover an alloy SO
nearly like silver that even experts can
scarcely tell the difference. TOO weak

"oUINCY ADAMS SAWYER"
AS GOOD AS THE STORY

A good audience witnessed the produc-
ton of Quincy Adams Sawyer at the
Worcester Theatre last night, drawn by
the popularity of the book from which
the play is written. The dramatist VINO
handled the story used most of his efforts
to transcribe the characters as they are
pictured in tine story, and depended for
plot on the incidents surrounding the
lives of Quincy Adams Sawyer, L1ndy
Putnam and Alice Pettingill, the three
principal characters of the play, 1t is a
clean picture Of country life in small
Massachusetts village, and much care
has been spent in having details correct.
There may be little too much carica-
ture in the representation of some of the
types shown, but in general they are
fairly true to nature
The first act shows the interior of the
post office and general store at Mason's
Corners and in this the hero Is intro
duced with a surrounding of quaint peo-
pie who live and work in the town. The
second act shows a country road and the
interior of Mrs. PutnamS home. In the
third act there is a barn scene that lacks
but little to make ii absolutely real, and
the fourth act shows the interior of the
Pettingill homestead during good New
England snow storm.
Charles Dickson, in the name part does
good work all the time, never strained OF
stilted, in spite of some of the lines he
has to say. Frederick Reynolds as Ezekiel
Pettingill is also one of the best features
of the play He has sufficient reserve
and a pleasant manner. Miss p. DeVoe
as Lindy Putnam, Miss Helaine Hadley
as Alice Pettingill, Miss Annie Hathaway
as Hubby Mason, are among the women
OF the piece who deserve special mention.
In fact the company is well balanced and
there are no markedly weak points.
Quincy Adams Sawyer" will be re-
peated tonight and is deserving of a good
audience of people who like plays that are
full of fun and have no heart rending in
cidents.

MARION MANOLA THE

Chicago, Dec 30.-The Evanston
police, with renewed hope of success,
in solving one Of the most mysterious
abduction or disappearance cases on
record in recent years, today issued
new circulars offering a reward for in
formation concerning the whereabouts
of Miss Florence Ely and her 13-year-
old nephew. Frank Ely Rogers.
A description Of Miss Ely is given
and it is stated that the boy is in all
probability dressed in the garb of
girl. The failure in obtaining valuable
information concerning the pair
hitherto is now attributed to the fact
that the police had been asked to look
for woman and boy.
This new search is due to the dis
covery of the clothing worn by Miss
Ely and the boy July 10 the day they
disappeared. A dog dragged from un-
der a depot platform a bundle of cloth
ing which the parents of young Rogers
identified as having belonged to their
son. A search disclosed Miss Ely's dis
carded garments. AS the boys collar
was left with the clothes. 1t Is
thought certain that Miss Ely took adj
vantage of the lads girlish appearance
to dress him in skirts.
