had lighted for the purpose of robbery.
The leading part in the play Is taken
| by Master Sidney Carlyle, young man
of 16, who acquits himelf very we'll as
| Juvenile. He has all kinds of fluctuations
to endure but the Williams are foiled at
every turn and finally their overthrow is
complete, the waif is restored to the arms
OF his mother and everybody is happy
just as the curtain goes down.
| The play is OF the sensational kind
that usually draws the crowds to
popular-p priced playhouse The scenes are
laid in New Orleans, a city that Is capa-
BILE OF strong dramatic treatment. The
first act shows the levee and is a fairly
good piece of stage mechanism. The COM
pany compares favorably with those usu-
ally found in such productions.
However. the hit of the evening, and a
very decided one, was made by Eddie
p Bowers and Edith Lowers whose dar-
key Characterization were exceptionally
clever. The crowd was hungry for such
amusement and whenever they appeared
they were given a rousing welcome. In
the last they gave vaudeville turn
that brought down the house. Their
songs called for repeated encores while
the comical dancing of Eddie Bowers
was surprise The two are decidedly
the most talented members of the COM
pany. Their comedy comes in just right
when the tragedy becomes too heavy.
There will be a matinee this afternoon
and the usual performance tonight.

Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
Armstrong explains the mystery which
has surrounded the suspension OF the
crew Of the customs tug Patrol. The
little vessel was wanted over on the
sound. 1t was charged against the
crew that they had caused damage to
the tug by rough handling and the
charge Of incompetency was preferred.
It was the plan to cause her to be sent
TO the sound for repairs and to keep
her there permanently. Senator Full
ton could not see matters In this light,
however, and he won handily in his
argument with the assistant secretary,
Now that the sound scheme has fallen
through. the charges against the men
win unquestionably take similar
course.
