The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1903-12-31

Gokay gave his solo in fine style and
was well received.
As the plotting queen, Miss Bessie
Harbour appeared, well capable of
carrying out the intended murder Of
the king and of managing the -Four
Wise Men"
The finale Of Act II received a great
amonnt of applause and the combined
effect of light, beautiful costumes and
various colored confetti, produced an
effect seldom rivaled. One of the most
decided hits of the evening was coon
song, Watermelon Boy" by Miss
Theresa Straub, who did some OF the
best work of the evening.
The picturesque and finely drilled
Sailors Chorus" was a great sue
cess. After some excellent chorus
work, Miss Mary Toomey did the horn
pipe; no jolly tar could have surpass-
ed her dancing. She repeated the per-
formance after a storm OF applause.
''The Lass that Loves a Sailor" by
Miss Hudson, was one of her best So
los. 1t was given with much spirit
and piquancy, and she, together with
the chorus, made graceful Flora
dora" exit
The performance reflects gre It cred
1t on the performers and YMCA as well
as on Prof E Wales, who owns aud
manages the attraction. 1t viii be re-
peated Saturday evening.

BROUGHT
BACK HERE
Erskinc and SeeIey Spend Last
Night in Jail.

Sheriff Wilson and deputy sheriff
Godfrey returned from Maine We'd
nesday with Bernard Erskine, and u.
A. Seeley who were arrested upon a
warrant charging them with being con-
nected with George M. Rowell in the
late insurance frauds in this place
The young men made no objections
about returning with the officers which
simplifed matters very much.
They first made a visit to Lyons
brothers tonsorial rooms, and the
Putnam house Office. The young men
are good singers with voices that
blend well and in the latter place en-
tertained quite an audience with favo-
rte selections. They also gave a
selection in the municipal court room
before being arraigned before Judge
Bates.
In reply to the usual questions E.
skine stated that he was 43 years tf
age, born in India, present occupation
insurance agent.
Seeley gave his age as %, born in
New York also insurance solicitor.
Both waived examination and each
was held in the sum of 800 to appe;
in court Monday January third. Both
lay their troubles TO Mr. Rowell. As
they could not furnish bail they went

King JoIIity at the Opera
House Last Evening.
TO BE REPEATED.
Production was Complete and
High Class and Delighted
the Large Audience.

In the production of King JolIity
last night, beautiful scenic effects, col
ored lights and vari-colored costumes
presented a spectacle of unusual
beauty.
The soloists and chorus worked har-
moniously together, contributing vast
ly to the musical success of the piece.
The dances were graceful and wonder
fully we'll given. Miss Fanny Taft as
commander Of the Royal Guards, rem
dered solo in a most pleasing man
ner.
Fred Harmon, "The only original
King" in laughable makeup, did
some particularly clever work which
was appreciated by the spectators.
A quartette that did some fine work
was composed of Misses Hudson, Gal
usha, Livingston and Merrill; their
dances and costumes being very fetch
ing.
Hubert Daley as The Sunniest Man
on the Island" " in picturesque jester's
costume was veritable funny man.
He, with the combined efforts of Lynn
Wood, kept the audience in continu,
al uproar. Mr. Wood made many To-
cal hits OF great aptness, whose spon-
taneous humor was infectious.
A solo, accompanied by a pretty
dance, was finely rendered by Miss
Irene Davis as "Queen Of Folly"
Miss Bessie Hudson, whose charming
voice is always warmly received, sang
several solos-"Lullaby" gaining the
hrst encore; the chorus in this selec-
ton added, with the lights, a moving
mass OF color.
Several little maids in white, as
"The Petite Ballet" gained applause
by their dainty dances and posing.
Among the specialties, six little tots
in nightrobes, caps, and their dolls,
proceeded to keep the audience laugh
ing and Lula Gokay and Edith. Rus
sell, quantity attired, made a tremen-
dous hit and were recalled twice.
Miss Mabel Barber's solo. ''The
Autumn Girl, was we'll rendered and
was accompanied by a shimmerine
light effect.
The Animal Quartette, whose exits
and entrances we're In imitation of our
fou"-footed friends, we're very clever;
they scored several hits-one on un-
ions. II
Mr. Harmon's hit on the trading
stamps was timely. Mr. Wood and
Miss Hudson came in for success in
"Just a Tiny Little Kiss" which was
decidedly we'll sung. ,,
OF the cast, Mrs Ross sang several
delightful solos. Mr. Habberlay sang
with his usual masterly command of |
expression and was very effective az
"Pripce Beauto.' The four sages
and "The Cops'' we're both funny tea. |
tures--the latter we're admirable mini.

Eddie Foy, principal comedian in the

and with his face covered with grease
paint in order u secure surgical at
tendance for some burns which he had
sustained. In describing the com
mencement of the fire Foy attributed
the extent of the catastrophe to the
failure of the fireprOof curtain to work
properly Because OF this, he said, the
flames readily obtained access to the
main part of the theater and were by
the draft, carrying with it gas as well
as fire, swept up to the two balconies,
where the loss of life was greatest.
The building in which the calamity
occurred stands midway between State
and Dearborn streets on the north side
of Randolph street. Although every
available policeman within call of the
department was Immediately hurried
TO the spot and the men placed in lines
at the ends of the block, allowing no
body to enter Randolph street from eli
ther Dearborn or State street, it was
found for a time almost impossible TO
hold back the frenzied crowd that
pressed forward, many Of them having
friends or relatives in the theater and
anxious to learn something of them.
Although all the patrol wagons and
every ambulance owned by the city
was pressed into service, they were
utterly inadequate to carry away the
dead, and In a short time there was a
line of corpses fifty feet long piled two
and three feet high on the sidewalk in
front of the theater. 1t was found nee
essary in order to convey the bodies
rapidly to the mOrgue and to the yari
Gus undertaking establishments to
press trucks into service, and in these
upon costly blankets furnished by the
dry goods stores in the vicinity and
covered with the same material the
dead were hauled away practically like
so much cordwood.
Mr. Edward Butler. who escaped
from the burning theater and after
ward saved lot Of lives, said:
We caught hold of the handles of a

The smoke was sufrocating, and the
heat was terrific.
Il pulled out one girl whose hand
was burned to a crisp clear to the el,

IL seemed we did aothing but
try TO untangle the heap of dead and
dying. By that time the firemen came

there might be 1000, for | don't see
