The words are by Richard earle, the
music is by Richard earle, the lyrics
are by Richard earle. the stage man
agement is by Richard Carle and the
whole show would have been by Rich
ard earle last night at the Van Ness
if there hadn't been others. Decidedly
there were others. There was 'Mary's
Lamb" for instance, but the main thing
was Richard Carle and his splendid
chorus. As before conceded. never
having been 10 New York, 1 am unable
to say just what a New York produc-
tion is like and the difficulty becomes
more complicated when the play comes
from Chicago via New York. 1t was in
Chicago that Carrie has been a compen-
sating circumstance against the wind
for many years I'm told.
FRESH FROM BROADWAY
But 'Msrv's Lamb is. I should say
fresh from Broadway. 1t is the breezi-
est musical comedy that has blown
across the continent in many gusty sea-
sons and earle himself is all that his
most enthusiastic advance man has said
he was-and then some.
The approach OF Cecilia Rhoda is also
welcome. She has an engaging role in
"Mary's Lamb" and carried off an arm
ful Of flowers last night. as well as the
certainty that her admirers of her Prin-
cess career, where she played, for in
stance. The Rollicking Girl had not
forgotten her. In the role of the allur-
ing actress who comes between Mary's
lamb, Leander (Carle) and Mary, she
was in excellent singing voice and
abounding spirits. She was given a
warm welcome on her first entrance

Woman Fined and Lad Under
Bond for Assault on Col

Deputy Judge Joslyn in City Court
this morning virtually made a plea for
a juvenile court. After hearing testi-
mony in the hearing Of Mrs. Annie
Dulling and her 12-year-old son, Mil
lard G. Schaffner. charged with assault
and battery on William Hemsley, col
ored, he complained of the inability OF
the court to properly dispose of Juvenile
cases.
1T is very serious matter" he said,
what disposition to make of boys
brought into this court"
1t was alleged that Mrs. Dulling and
her son on March assaulted Hemsley
in the rear of their home on Hutton
street after Hemsley came to get some
copper wire he alleged Millard had
taken from him. 1t was testified that
Hemsley was struck with a shovel and
a heavy electric battery. A bruised
face and long cash in the colored
boys head were treated by DR.. oliver

Dulling that Hemsley received the
cash in his head in a fall, and that
her son in striking him merely sought
to protect her from an attack by
Hemsley. Among the eight witnesses
called were Frank Foster. John Kel-
ley and Alfred Schaffner. so diminutive
and terrified that all proved strong ar
guments for a Juvenile court All

held under $500 probation bond and re-
