Goes Laughing, to Death.

Pensacola, Fla, Special.-Laughing
and joking, Kemp Holt, a negro, was
hanged Friday at Milton, near here,
for the murder of a man a year ago.
The negro, with a rope adjusted a.
round his neck, was given an hour Ill
which to pray or make a talk to his
friends. He chose to talk. Not one
reference was made to the crime for
which he was convicted, MOI did he
utter any prayer, but consumed the
time in telling jokes and joining in
the laughter. The smile that follow
ed the telling of his last joke had not
left his face when the black cap was
adjusted and the trap sprung.

Mr.. Walker Whiteside will play
his annual engagement at The Ken
lucky next Tuesday night. He will
present mis- new play, "The Magic
Melody" a drama in three acts, the
scenes Of which are laid on Manhat,
tan island. The play tells the story
Of Helmar, a young German violin
list whose genius the arrows and
sings of fortune have never been
able to dishearten. Compelled by
poverty to earn his living by playing
in cheap cafes he never lets his mind
wander away from the goal Of his
dream. OF an emotional temperament
he falls in love with the ward of one
of the richest financiers In America,
but opposition bars the road to their
happiness for a time. In the end all
obstacles are surmounted and the f.
nal curtain falls on the happy low
ers casped in each others arms. The
role of Helmar affords splendid op-
Iportunities to Mr.. Whiteside for 1t
is many sided character. Notwith-
standing the seriousness of his life
he possesses a keen sense of humor.
Besides the comedy touches, the part
calls for as much romanticism as
would that Of any hero OF the age of
chlvalry.

Miss HenrIetta Crosman

Concerning Miss Crosman in AL
of-A-sudden Peggy which is present
ed at The Kentucky tonight, the Chi
cago Tribune says:
Laughter, and nonsense, and rush,
and hustle. Such is "All-Of-A-Sud-
den Peggy which Henrietta Cros-
man and h.r company presented at
Powers last evening for the first
time in Chicago. But, as the ento-
mologist in the play says. ''wny not?
Why not?" 1t is the season of suppos-
ed cheer and gaiety, although the
throngs that haunt State street may
not think so And certainly the pat
ron of the playhouse need not COM
plain if in such a season, a farce
made up largely of laughter and non
sense and presented in a rushing
bustling style is offered for his enter
tainment.
The audience at Powers certainly
was entertained-there was no doubt
of that. Laughter was almost con-
slant and everybody was on the keen
watch for the fun in the lines Miss
.Crosman and ner associates gave
such snappy, pointing utterance.
The plot Is a variant on the fami-
liar arrangement of two young people
thrown together by designing rela-
tives to play with love. and getting
themselves really entangied in the
meshes of the grand passion. Peggy
O'Mara, the daughter of the late Prof
O'Mara eminent authority on. trap
door spiders, is an impulsiye, good
hearted gir1 blessed with an Irish
brogue that is delicious. a face that
is bewitchingly pretty, and a heart
that is as tue and pure as her laugn
IS infectious and clear.
It is a rollicking trihe, and would
not amount to much if not cast with
Peggy in the hands of an actress who
possesses charm of personality and
unlimited yivacity. Marie Tempest
carried the play to success. in Eng
land and Miss Crosman does as much
for It here
OF the cast, Mr., stallard as the
understanding Lord Anthony does
the most legitimate and finished
work. He makes a genuine charac-
ter study Of the part and has work
ed it out with careful attention to
detail He STAYS in the role through
out every scene in which he appears,
and his seriousness is a source Of the
purest amusement the performance
affords. Mr.. Gilmore as Jimmy joins
with Miss crosman in overseeing in
certain scenes, but when not thus i'm
moderate Is attractive and entirely
efficient. Miss Waterman plays the
mother OF Peggy with good under
standing and an effective brogue; Miss.
Warrington does a talkatiye bit sue
cessfully. and Miss Marburyt Miss
Meek, and Mr. Crawford and Mr.. Pitt
are generally satisfactory.
