JOKE BELIEVED
 SUICIDE CAUSE
Prankish Letter Said to Have Led Young Girl to End Own Life
 i'm Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Jan. 19.-It is be- lieved that a letter which caused l4-year-old Erma JentZen to kill herself recently was simply a stupid joke perpetrated by some of her gir! companions, though it is sus- pected that young man was at the back of the plot. The police and postal authorities have been conducting a searching investiga- tion and believe they will be able to uncover those who were back of the letter. Postal Inspector Bird said that the girl was innocent of any wrongdoing and was frightened to death by the threats of her parents to send her to the reform school. It is believed that girl wrote the letter a the instigation of young man. Both will be located accord ing to the police.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS

Bv BERNARD CONAN

l three acts. It's story tells of Ma l tilda, an American actress who learns that a fortune has been left 1 to her upon the condition that she marry Lord Jermyubam, who it ap- hears shares in the estate by the same will The refusal of either to | fulfill this condition was to be cause for disinheritance. At the outset of the play she is dwelling in New York whence comes the young ] nobleman and several of his l friends in order that they may see l the prospective bride Matilda is already in love with young man and with his aid persuades an anna teur actor to impersOnate her, while she poses as a cabin-boy aboard the yacht of the Britishefs l to which the scene of action is ] transferred The complications which follow are of broadly far 1 cical nature The scheme works so successfully that the nobleman re- fuses to marry his cousin and she :. generously overlooks the conditions of the bequest and shares the for tune with him. Alfred Hickman. as the amateur actor disguised as Matilda, kept the audience in roars of laughter and was as much at home in the clothes of the young woman as he was in the songs and dances allotted to him. The songs were especially god, possessing that swing and melody that is bound to make them popular.
 Clara BIOodgood in "The Truth"
 At the Criterion Clara Bloodgood was seen in Clyde Fitch's latest effort. "The Truth" The play takes it's title from an inherited prosper ity in the part of it's central char acter to tell a lie even when the truth would serve as well. Becky Warden is all that wife should be. loyal and virtuous, but truth telling is an accomplishment quite beyond her powers. At first interested in bringing about a reconciliation of the Lindons, she deludes herself into the belief that LindOn's atten- tions are to be regarded chiefly as compliment to the excellence of her husbands judgment Mr. Warder knows Lindon to be a cad tells her so and gets her promise shat she will never see him again She does see him regularly day af- ter day The reports of detectives hired by the jealous Mrs. Lindon are placed into Warder's hands Becky, firm in the knowledge of he1 own innocence and still clinging tC her plan of bringing the Lindons together emphatically denies it all AS result Lindon eventually mis- takes her motives and brings him. self to the belief that she is in love with him. The truth at last dawns upon her. but too late to prevent the casting of cloud upon her womanhoOd. Her husband departs more in sorrow than in anger while she hurries to Baltimore to join her father, an abominable old scala wag With the aid of the latter she is about to perpetrate the crownine deception so that reconciliation might follow with her husband. Al the ultimate moment she filings aside the mask of deceit and from a reckless, thoughtless creature she is transformed into a pleading pathetic tender and happy woman made so through the triumph O
 love and truth.

arrested in New York Sunday on a
charge of conducting an unlicensed en-

their teens. members of the magnificent
British production. written. b. the way.
by Mrs. Pitts, were located by the police.
and it is possible that charge of kid
mapping will be placed against the
negress.
Mrs. Pitts and her company. white.
girls and colored performers alike, were
preparing TO leave for Washington when
The arrest was made. The negress. who
is said 70 be a stylish dresser, educated.
brown-skinned. and rather good looking,
was mere two weeks ago. She rented
the hall from W r. Griffin, the manager.

That it was TO be a mixed company and
that a good" hotel was desired was
stated explicitly in a telegram by the
woman theatrical manager Of the me-
tropolis
The appearance OF the white girls with
the Mixed Race Company was 10 be
made one Of the features Of the great en-
tertainment 1t was an original idea with
Mrs. Pitts, and she proposed profiting by
all means by her ingenuity. II was fig
ured that with several pretty young white
girls in the cast the play would be the
hit of the season IN the colored theatrical
circles Of the nations Capital But the
New York police took a hand in the

is trying to explain to them that unless
she is released the advertised extrava-
