stephen Chickure was placed on trial
in the courts here today for the mur-

Winton. The Kubalis girl was pulling

Annie called for help, and the brother
threw bolt which struck Mamie on
the head and crushed her skull. The
defense today was that owing to his

the case and acquitted the boy.

The Lafayette-.Busy Izzy. y

A new star appeared at the Lafayette
Theater yesterday, when George Sidney
presented farce-comedy called Busy
Izzy"
Mr.. Sidney is clever actor, and Ger
tainly should be provided with worthy
means of exploiting his ability. In the
present piece he works hard and his
personality, eccentric mannerisms, and
dialect contribute many bright spots to
the performance.
Chief among Mr. sidney's associates
is La Petite Adelaide, who will be re-
membered for her toe dancing several
years ago. In BUSY Izzy'' she executes
some intricate steps and sings several
songs. Edward Clark plays an elevator
boy in the first act and a bell boy in
the second. He succeeds in pleasing the
audience in several bits of witticisms.
The chorus is large one and well

Excellent Stage Literature.

Mr.. Caine has built an intensely in

is admirable, his characters are boldly
drawn, and the chief ones are properly
accentuated: there are enough strong in

financial venture the piece will prove
eminently gratifying, and as theatri-

is much better than most of the crop of
recent dramas.

Uncommonly Strong Cast.

1t would be difficult to imagine a
stronger lot of players than those who
surround Miss Allen. She herself is
excellent most of the time, although in
her hysterical scene with Rossi in the
fourth act she almost permits her
emotions too great a sway. Miss
Allen is very delightful in the first
studio scene, and in all of her lighter
passages swept everything before her.
In her scene in the second act with
bonelli she displays an art that is
quite matchless, and she is made TO do
her very best here, too, for opposing
her is one of the ablest actors of the
native stage-Mr Frederic de geIieviIIe
