Golfers New Name

William Golfers friends are trying
hard to acquire the habit of calling him
William, but it is evidently a hard task.
Known as Willie from the time he
first entered on his stage career, the
"William" does not come easily. The
transition from Willie to William only
came when Charles F'rohman took him
under his. managerial wing last sea-
son.
Willie. or rather William, began his
stage career as a member of the ju-
venile Pinafore company, having as
his fellow players Julia Marlowe. Grace
F'illxins, Minnie Maddern Fiske, Jen-
ME Dunn, now the wife of Ezra Ken
dall-Arthur Dunn, and a number of
others who have since become promi-
nent in the profession. After the en-
gagement with the Pinafore company,
he was given the position OF call boy
at Days theater in New York, which
he filled for seven years when this
great manager had his famous COM
many.
The first season at Days he received
seven dollars a week. The next he
was made assistant prompter. In lieu
Of a raise he used to play "bits" and
helped the property man. After a
while, he became a sort of assistant
producer going frequently to Boston
to help stage Daly's plays there for
the Museum Stock company. His

by Miss Blair. This is the first part
Miss Blair has originated in several sea-
sons. The title role is powerful and af-
forded her opportunities of which she
took full advantage, and the play pro-
vides a plot of human interest. There
is a prologue, followed by three acts,
showing a battlefield in the Franco
Prussian war and apartments in the
aristocratic portion of London. The pro
duction is on an elaborate scale.
Edna Wallace Hopper's home near
San Leandro, Cal, was recently looted
by thieves of furniture, pictures, cost
ly clock and a number of other arti-
cles which the actress valued because
they belonged to her mother.
Charles Keeler a California poet, re-
Gently produced in the Unitarian church
at Berkeley Cal, a new mystery play
of his own writing, modelled in form af-
ter the old English morality plays. 1t
is called 1.-The Triumph of Light" and
contains many exquisite lines and spec
tacular scenes. Keeler appeared as the
Priest of the Sun in the prologue. The
principal character is Mortality, who is
to be shown the mystery of life. There
is a succession of picturesque and inn
pressive scenes, until the final picture
where Mortality, after series of wan
derlngs, receives the torch of Truth and
awakens the sleeping child Love. VINO
with kiss gives him Immortality, and
completes The Triumph of Light.

New York. Jan. 31.-Johann HOch of Chicago. who is charged with big amy and wife abandonment. was ar raigned In the police court here today and remanded for forty-eight hours. After arraignment he said:
 "Yes. l am the man wanted in Chi cago, but they are mistaken as to the charges. I am wanted for some trou- ble had with my sister-in-law about
 On his way from court Ho0h said to the detectives;
 T am the Hoch the Chicago police think they want, but they are wrong. There are lots of Hochs besides me. Te story that ] am Bluebeard' Is all fooIishness. I'll make somebody feel cheap when I get back to Chicago and prove I'm innocent
 T never had but two wives in my life"
 Some one asked if Hoch meant two at one time. Hoch laughed good naturedly.
 Do you think I'm a Mormon" he asked. T know the stories. But look at me. Would I be fat and happy if I had had hundred wivesP' ~
 He was then asked why he had taken the name of Bartels when he came to New York.
 T expected there would be trouble about the $2,OOO worth of furniture Mary left when she died." he said. Tier sister wanted more of 1t than was her share. When I was arrested here I thought it was on account of that fur nlture."
 Relative to stories that Hoch was thought to have only worked for Holmes who operated in Chicago dur ing the Worlds Fair and killed dozens of people to collect their life insurance, Hoch said:
 T never saw Holmes. He was a chemist. I'm a machinist. I never did any work for him. I've read about him. I've seen it printed that I was his ianitor. It may have been a man who looked like me and if his name was Hoch that's nothing. There are lots of Hochs."
 He said he had no wife at present.
