"CONVICT 999."

There is plenty of light and shade in Convict 999," the new sensation al melodrama exploited by A. H. Woods, which will play at Polls Fri day. matinee and evening. The shadow of the criminal court is there, and in the conviction of an in nocent man of the terrible crime of murder, on circumstantial evidence, there is shown a phase of the darker side of life which is gloomy in the extreme. The shadow of prison walls and the gruesome shade of the electric chair, are also present. Convict 999" is, however, not who'll ly a play of gloom; there are many humorous situations, and several well drawn comedy characters who cause many hearty laugh. Among the scenes whose brilliance contrasts with the dark pictures is one repre- senting the grand annual ball of the Eighth regiment. whose splendOr has seldom been equalled in a stage production.

American spirit of the drama, which was selected by William Archer, foremost of the English critics, as the first great play of the new American school Since Walter N.

SEARCH BEING MADE
FOR YOUNGSTERS
Gone From Their Homes Since
Thursday With No CleW
To Whereabouts.
POLICE ARE GIVING AID.
BYRON OLDACRE AND A LAD
NAMED MILLS ARE GIVING
THEIR RELATIVES NO END OF
UNEASINESS.

Byron Oldacre, thirteen-year-old
lad who has been living with his
grandfather. George Bishop, the coun-
ty truant officer, and his companion.
a son of William Mills, former men,
Der of the Richmond fire department,
are missing from their homes, having
disappeared Thursday afternoon. Up
to Saturday evening the police, who
have been trying to locate the boys,
had obtained no clues as to their
whereabouts.
Mr. Mills states that Thursday af-
ternoon Mrs. Mills dressed her son in
his best clothes so that he could at
tend a matinee. He left the house
without saying goodby and has not
been seen since. 1t was thought that
he would return home Friday but he
did not put in an appearance and as a
result Mrs Mills is now almost fran
tic.
The Oldacre boy also left home
without giving the slightest intimation
that he intended to run away. He has
had no trouble with his mother or
with his grandparents. A relative of
the Oldacre boy was at police head
quarters Saturday evening to learn
whether the police had obtained any
clues as to the boys whereabouts. He
stated that Byron is not bad boy
but full of mischief and of wander
ing disposition. Great anxiety is felt
by the relatives of the missing boys
owing to their tender years. Every
effort will be made to locate them
and have them returned to this city.
Young Oldacre has been employed as
Western Union messenger boy. He
is bright little chap and will be able
to take care of himself as nearly all
messenger and newspaper boys are,
being trained in a rough and ready
school.
