.LUMLEYs SHOW WHAT
HAPPENED To JONES

The Lumley Company enter on their
last week at the Orpheum with two
classy plays. "What Happened to
Jones" the famous comedy which
brought much fame to George Broad
hurst, will be the offering starting this
evening. The author, George Broad
hurst, is probably one of the best
known writers of the present time. He
first won fame by his comedy "What
Happened to JONES' and later dupli-
Gated his success in another farce,
''Why Smith Left Home.' Since that
time plays have emanated from him
with startling rapidity. His oman of
the Hour ran for two years in New
York. "What Happened to jones'. is
farce comedy. The character of
Jones is typical American drummer
who, while attending a prizefght,
meets Professor Cooley, who is attend
ing prizefght for the first time. The
meeting being raided by the police, a
wild scramble ensues, and Jones follows
the professor to his house and by his
superior nerve installs himself there.
Inc p1OISoooI DIOtutf, bishop 0OOQ-
ley, is expected from Australia, and
IN order to account for Jones presence
IN the house, Jones assumes the char
acter of the bishop and instantly be-
comes a favorite with the women of
the house, who, mistaking Jones for
the real bishop, allow all sorts of ia
miliarities on account of his cloth, to
the CONSERVATION of the professor, who
dares not denounce him. Jones makes
love to the professors ward, Cissy, and
when the real bishop arrives the latter
backs him up.
The comedy situations are clever
and keep the audience in continual
laugh. Tt will take the entire strength
of the company, special preparations
being made to give it a complete pro-
duetion. Specialties between acts, as

DIVORCED WIFE

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Saturday, July
1S.-The announcement of The marriage
of Frank Hassank and Mary Edwards
FNn Newport, KY, revealed remarka-
bic romance. For six months Hassank

know until after the wedding that she
was the wife he divorced IN Kirksville.
Mo-, ten years ago. Both were resi-
dents of Kirksville at tine time Of their
first marriage. Hassank obtained a di-
vorce after quarrel, and five or six
years ago Mrs. Hassank came to New
post, where she has been making her
home with friends.
Four years ago she married John Ed
wards, but he died six months after the
wedding. The widow retained his
name, but dropped the "Mrs.''
Hassank happened to be there on a
visit little more than year ago.
He met his former wife at dance, but
she had bleached her hair and he did
not know her. He fell in love with her
the second time.
Mrs. Edwards recognized her former
husband, but saw that he. did not know
who she was. She thought it a good
joke and decided to keep him in ig-
norance for time. When she got
ready to tell. she. too, was in love
again, and was afraid to inform Has
sank. fearing he might refuse to see
her again.
\ few minutes after athe wedding
ceremony she revealed her identity to
her husband. and they decided to for
get the past and begin all over again.
The couple probably will go back TO
Kirksville to live in the heme where
they spent their first honeymoon.
