the oldest playhouse in Chicago. and
one of the four or five Oldest in the
United States, has just passed its 50th
birthday anniversary. In 1872 ii was
burned and rebuilt.
In the half century OF the theater's
existence most of the great actors and
actresses OF modern times have APP
peared upon it's stage. The house was
opened with a stock company and a
visiting star, II. A. Perry. who was
known as Handsome Harry Perry
He died mysteriously a year after his
marriage in 1860 to Agnes Booth. The
plays on that first night were The
Rough Diamond" and The Honey
NOON One of the men in that audi
ence hat night was c. j.. Hunt, ia

man. Charles Matthews, Eliza Logan.

memory failed while he was playing
the title role in "Spartacus," on Nc
Vicker's stage. 1t was the great ira
gedian's last appearance.

armed bandits on guard.

Down the street. a few blocks from

home. With a gun swung over his
shoulder a bandit made for the house

While W. of the robbers worked at

Residents Terror Stricken.
Securing the So, 500 in cash, the rob-
bers made their getaway quickly, two
bandits, carrying the money, leading
the way, guarded both in front and in
the rear by the other members of the
gang. So terror stricken were the res
idents of the town that they feared to
follow, the robbers escaping without
anyone knowing which direction they
had taken.

the Milwaukee line this morning says
that a ~handcar, with several men, was
seen speeding north at 4 o'clock, but
the local authorities are doubtful IL
these are the men. How they came

state earlier in the fall. With the COM

telephone messages were sent In
every direction to head off the rob-

Everything of value was taken with
the exception Of 81, 900 which the
cashier of the bank had hidden away

and badly crippled financially the bank
opened for business this morning,
wealthy residents making up the
amount stolen so that business could
continue. The bank is fully insured
and will lose but little.
