In His New Vehicle
Creston Clarke
Displays Art
BY James Crawford

There is one really intense climax to
compensate for great deal of rather
commonplace matter in "The Ragged
Messenger" Creston Clarkes new We
run last evening at the Novelty
Theater.
The play is somewhat akin to 'rThe
Christian" inasmuch as it's central
figure is a young clergyman whose
life is devoted to evangelism in the
slums. He is made the beneficiary of
a millionaires will. and a young
woman, who had been betrayed and
cast adrift by the Croesus, conspires
with conventional male villain to
obtain the coveted fortune by enticin e
the unsuspecting legatee to marry her.
This she does by joining his band Of
workers. OF course she falls in love
with him, and almost equally, of
course, ne makes her his wife.
Her bafled accomplice, when in
formed of her repentance and deter
mination to be an honest woman, seeks
revenge by endeavoring to make her
appear in the light of his mistress.
He sends a note. inviting her to his
chamber and the missive is Intercepted
and falls into her husbands hands.
It's ontents. however, are already
known to their mutual friends and to
save her from shame he pretends to
believe her innocent. His effort to
convince them brings the interest-grip-
ping climax.
1t comes in the third act. He sur
reptitiously scribbles on the note.
Don't come" instructs a servant to
deliver It to his wife, and then invites
the suspecting ones to accompany him
in waiting and watching for her. The
stage is darkened. and when the lights
reappear the night is supposed to have
passed without the object of suspicion
having left her apartment. Satisfied
with the test, his companions retire
and the wife enters. He confronts her
with his knowledge of her past, up
braids her for having deceived him, and
as the curtain descends he declares
that he shall not divorce her. That
scene redeems the play from common
placeness- It was rewarded with four
curtain calls last night In the last
act comes the usual reconciliation, with
happiness for all the good characters
and confusion for the other kind
Mr.. Clark as the evangelist is equal
to all the requirements of the role his
work in the third and fourth acts be-
ing absolutely clever. Virginia Thorn
ton displays ample emotional power
when it is demanded A most interest
ing figure is the S7-year-old actor,
John Carter, in part that fits him
admirably. Mr.. Hebron. as a mon
ocled villain, and the remainder of the
cast, are adequate. The staging is ap-
propriate.

to provoke mirth. In spite of the fact
that Oral Humphreys. who was to

had to be taken at a moments notice

without a hitch.
Frank Bacon added another to his
successes as the pompous manservant

FLOWER POT FALLS
FROM UPPER STORY
Mrs. RaWIing, a Resident of
Cincinnati, Has Narrow Es-
cape on Main Street.
DRESS SKIRT WAS TORN.
HUSBAND OF THE WOMAN WAS
FURIOUS FOR A TIME AND
THREATENED TO MAKE TRoU-
BILE, BUT LET MATTER DROP.

What proved to be singularly mar
row escape from serious injury was
the experience Of Mrs. Rawling, of
Cincinnati, on Main street in front Of
the Hall clothing store Monday. Mr..
and Mrs. Rawling had just arrived in
the city from Cincinnati by way Of
the c., G. e L., and after leaving a
car at Eighth and Main street the
couple started east along Main on the
south side of the street. Just as they
got in front of the Hall clothing store
a large flower pot containing begonia
fell from an upstairs window and
missed the woman's head only a few
inches and fell down over her should
ers and side Aside from besmearing
her with dirt large vent was torn in
her dress skirt. Had she been a few
inches further in advance she would
have received the full force of the
crockery on her head and serious in
Jury would have resulted. For time
her husband was furious and threat
| ened to cause trouble for the occu-
pants of the flat, but his anger sub
seouently subsidized and he let the MAJ
ter drop. It was stated by merchant
near bv who saw the incident that this
is not the first time that flower pots
have fallen from the same window.
