CAMERA CLICK
Brings Mans Memory Back To Him
After Two Year Lapse.

AFTER Two 4SdI A'dpsc'
CHICAGO, March ls.-One of the
strangest cases of loss of memory in
medical records has been brought to
light in Milwaukee two years after
it had its beginning in Chicago, ac-
cording to the Tribune today.
William Childs, IS years old, son
of the late George William Childs,
Jr., Of Brooklyn, N. Y. has recovered
his memory after having meen mourn
ed as dead and identified himself
when he heard the click Of photo
graphic camera. Two years ago he
told Milwaukee authorities, Some
thing snapped in his head and since
that time he does not know what
route he has travelled He says it
happened at a Moody institute meets
ing after he had been working for a
Chicago firm that used cameras in its
business.
Childs appeared in Milwaukee from
nobody knows where. He begged
the county authorities to find out who
| he was, They could not help him
until the camera shutter focused the
ileeping memory.
A photographer was sent out to
get his picture to send to those who
thought he might be J. A. Oatman, a
missing salesman. With the taking
of the picture, the man was cured Of
his strange affiction.
According to the story he told the
doctors, he is the son Of wealthy
family in Brooklyn. He said that for
years he was the chief clerk Of the
Anthony Photographic Supply House
in New York City.

Jerrold Shepherds rich comedy
"T'he Matchmaker in the hands of
Daniel Sully at the Astoria Theater
on Sunday night last, lost nothing OF
its charm by reason OF the very in
adequate house that greeted it. Mr.,
Sully never lets anything Of that ma.
ture interfere with this splendid work
as an actor and star, The homcly,
simple, beautiful play was carried out
to the letter and those who were in
attendance enjoyed every scintilla Of
it, He was we'll supported in the
main, especially by Miss Eleanor
Franklin and Miss Gertrude Earle, as
Margaret Manning and Dollie, re-
spectively; and by Fred ], Harvey as
Pierre Wolfe, the half-breed; these
characters were inimitable, and added
distinctly to the zest and color Of the
presentation. Miss Kate Toncray's
Silent Ann was exceedingly well
done, as was Mary Cagwin's Mrs.
Wellington The rich humor Of
Father Daley was the life of the play
although it was offered in the quiet
est way possible by the genial priest
The story is one to hold the deepest
interest without Tagging and is in
fine hands all through,
