all records in Chicago, no comedy be-
fore or since has equalled its number
of performances, its record being 463
times; aside from this the piece has
had two long and success road seasons
and is now just rounding out its third
and most successful season since its
premier. Askin-Singer differ from most
theatrical managers in the fact that in
stead of reducing the strength of their
company after their productions have
once made hit and could do business
on their reputation, they strengthen
their show from season to season, so
that now in the third year of its sue
cess THE Time, the Place and the Girl"
is a bigger and better production than
when it paid this city it's first visit
While the cast includes most Of the
same principals. such as John E. Young,
Elizabeth Goodall, E. Colt Albertson
and Jason Kenslow. who have appeared
in the cast for the past two seasons,
the balance of the principals have been
strengthened by such well known ar
lists as Mabel McIvine, ogden Wight,
Lillian Goldsmith. and several others.
The story of the play is so well known
| here that it scarcely needs introduce
! ton, as almost every theater-goer
well remembers the character Of Hap
by Johnny Hicks" the square gambler;
Mollie, the trained nurse of the SAM
tarium; Tom Cunningham, the son of
Boston millionaire, and pal of

daughter of the close-f1sted farmer;
Laurie Farnham. a ne'er- do-well; the
| dashing widow and her over-grown
son, and the Italian organ grinder, all

WELL KNOWN MAN
IS JAILED
ASK, WHO HAS BEEN IN
TROUBLE IN THIS CITY BE-
FORE, ARRESTED LAST NIGHT
ON ADVICES FROM SEATTLE.

William Ask was arrested last
night at O'Clock by Deputy Sherln
Kenyon On telcgraphic advice from
Sheriff Hodge of King county.
Though Sheriff Hodge did not init
mate the nature of the charge on
which Ask was detained, yet Ask
himself stated to the deputy sheriff
that he supposed the arrest was in
connection with a bad check for IS.
II is thought here, however, that
there might have been a more seri-
Gus charge lodged against the young
man as the King county officer would
not allow of bail being secured, AMI
he stated that an officer will be here
this afternoon from Seattle for him.
William Ask came to this city last
summer as a representative for the
Seattle Commission house. He was
employed recently in the Olympia
cigar and confectionery store and
was also the singer at the Gem the
atre. He has a beautiful baritone
voice and is a talented young man.
Last summer he was arrested for
passing bad paper and only for the
assistance of friends in the city he
would have gone over the road. His
father is said to be living in AL
aska and is we'll fixed financially.
Ask himself has had mercantile ex-
perience He is a likeable young
man ana has great many friends
in this city.
Notwithstanding ASKS arrest he
rendered his song at the two per
| formances at the Gem theatre last
night He sang, Here's to Our Alb
sent Brother" and although Deputy
| Sheriff Kenyon was in the audience
and maintained watch over his pri-
soner few people had any idea that
Ask was under arrest. After the
performance the deputy sheriff took
| his prisoner to the county bastile
where he will remain until the Kins
county officer comes after him.
