MRS LEMOYNE IN among THOSE
PRESENT."

TO many who saw the production of
Glen MCDonough'S society play Among
Those Present" with Mrs. LeMoync in
the leading role, at the Howard Friday
evening, the play did not seem up to the
level of that sterling actrcss's powers
And yet it was an amusing entertainment
for it contains many bright lines and
holds the mirror up to the sort of society
it depicts with a dcftl-ss that is both
clever and interesting.
The various scenes in the play intro
ducc one to the many phases of freak
sh society life. The amateur circus in
the second act with the characters in
costume for their parts, has a touch of
genuine novelty about it. The scenes in
the half-tinishcd hall of the grand house
are filled in with more or less clever re-
partcc. Indeed wit is not wanting
throughout the play. and last night $
adience keenlY appreciated each brill
liant point made.
Mrs l.eMoynes acting was superb and
she is perhaps now the most intellectual
actress appearing on tn. American stage.
The complex character of Mrs. Clinton,
with its varying emotions was handled
with Il perfection of finish that was
indeed a treat. She was ut her
best in the more emotional scenes which
close the Play and which make the
heaviest demands upon hcr,-an evidence
that the play as Il whole hardly gives an
opportunity for the full display of her re
markablc ondoWmcnts. Her many elegant
gowns were source of pleasure to the
feminine portion of the audience.
The supporting company is on the whole
satisfactory, and the performance is put
down as one thoroughly enjoyed by the
audience present.

FATHER AND SON
Former Charged with Embezzlement
from the Latter.


y case that has many romantic features
was developed Saturday when Reuben
Dickinson of Underhill was arraigned in
city court charged with the embezzlernent
of notes from his son, II. B. Dickinson,
wealthy banker and real estate man of
Peoria, Ill. The amount of the notes al
legged to have been taken by Mr. Dicken-
son is in the vicinity of $500 1t is not the
amount of money involved in the trans
action that is of interest but the personal
history of the men engaged in the con-
trovcrSY. In court the respondent waived
examination and bail was fixed at 500,
which he furnished.
II. Il. Dickinson is a son of Reuben
Dickinson by his first wife. Years ago he
left Cnderhill and went West. Nothing
was heard from him until about a year
AFRO when he appeared at Underhill a
wealthy man, having acquired large sums
of money through fortunate Investment.
He visited his father and the two took
an extended trip through Massachusetts.
Nothing was too good for the son to get
his father and after their return to Tn
derhill the son wished his father to go
to Peoria and see that his story about his
wealth WAS true. The father accepted
and paid an extended visit to his son.
During this time the elder Dickinson re-
ceived every possible attention from his
son and it is said the young man gave
his father nearly $1,000 as spending money.
a short time after the elder Dickinson
returned to Underhili he received a tele-
gram asking him to 20 to Peoria inn
mediately as his son was critically i'll. He
responded and after his arrival at Peoria
the son became worse and finally gave his
father power of attorney to transact bust
able time but the young man finally re-
covered revoked the power of attorney
