1t appears that Mr.. Kennedy, in
stead of discovering Nels Erickson
at the Royal theater in Stockholm
and bringing him to this country at
enormous expense to play the part
Of Yon Yonson, discovered Bert
Baker in Chicago doing his Swedish
sketch on a vaudeville stage, and at
once realized that he had found the
man he long had sought to succeed
the lamented Gus Heege In the Swe-
dish dialect role. 1t was Mr.. Kenne-
dy's business idea to advertise his
new man as a Swedish actor direct
from Stockholm, and that is why
Baker disappeared and why his
friends could not find him or reach
him by letter. Baker has a three
years contract with Kennedy at a
flattering salary and he is making
good in the part. He is the best Yon
Yonson seen in the part since the
time of Gus Heege.

ACTOR "NELs ERICKSON"
Man Who Was Missing Two Years
Is Found on the STAGE.

Is Found on the stage.
Bert Baker, who left Butte about
two years ago, and then disappeared
as if from the face of the earth, has
been found. He is roaming the
country over under the nom de thea
ter of Nels Erickson, "the great
Swedish actor, direct from the Royal
theater, Stockholm, Sweden" who
was in Helena last week.
Baker has just been discovered by
some of his friends in Butte as the
man who is playing in the title role
of lyon Yonson in P. ]. Kennedy
company.
Baker lived in Butte for several
years and played in the old Sutton
stock company at the Family thea
ter, and at other times made the
rounds of the vaudeville houses, do
ing a Swedish sketch. He left Butte
about two years ago and went tc
Chicago, where he seemed to disap
pear. Some of his friends made nu
merous vain efforts to locate him
and they had given up the search
when Baker burst upon them at the
Grand opera house. They thought
they recognized Yon Yonson, but the
name of Nels Erickson on the pro
gram baffled them for while. Sew
eral of them, however. laid for Erick
