EVELYN VAUGHAN
IN MAxINf'S ROLE
Alcazar VIII Stage "Chaperon,"
in Which Pretty Miss
Elliott Was Starred

The Chaperon,' which is to be given
it's first western representation tomor-
row evening in the Alcazar, was writ
ten by Marian Fairfax to serve as a
starring vehicle for Maxine Elliott, and
so, favorably was the famous actress
impressed by it that she utilized it to
open her oNn New York theater, where
it had a long run.
But while it's leading character, a
wealthy young American countess. is
most conspicuously in evidence and
runs the gamut of the emotions, from
girlish drollery to almost tragic Sc
riousness. The Chaperon" is not by
any means one part play. 1t is a
comedy that puts every one in the cast
on his mettle.
Its locale is in the Adirondacks.
among an exclusive colony of New
Workers. The heroine Madge. arrives
after brief and unpleasant mat
rimonial experience with Count Van
Tuyle, an Austrian, whom she had
married in pique because of the
refusal of her sweetheart. Jim
Ogden, to wed a maiden so much
more opulent than himself When
the play begins she has instituted pro-
ceedings for divorce, and the count has
followed her to America, and in the
mountain colony the woman and the
two men are brought together. Some
very amusing complications enSue.
Madge is chaperoning lot of young
girls and their college boy swains
keep her very busy preventing flirta-
ton. An almost farcically funny situ
ton is in the second act. where at early
dawn Madge and Jim. in evening
clothes, are discovered as the sole in
habitants of q little island upon which
they were stranded the previous night
while boating. There they are found
by the jealous and mercenary count,
and while he is quarreling with Jim
his wife steals his canoe and glides
away, leaving the two men to settle
their dispute.
Every one can heartily relish the
bubbling fun of The Chaperon,' be-
cause it is clean fun, and the well
hammered and well tailored characters
will convey to Alcazar patrons a re-
freshing change from the squalor of
Salvation Nell" Evelyn Vaughan
will have the part created by Miss
Elliott, John Ince will play the hero,
Howard Hickman the count, and all the
other favorites viii be equally we'll
bestowed. Each of the three acts calls
for an elaborate and picturesque set
ting, which the Alcazar artists and me-
chanics can be depended upon to con-
struct with the best possible view to
scenic effectiveness.

Anne Warmer, who wrote the maya

TRAINS COLLIDE
ON HIGH TRESTLE
One Man Killed and 18 Injured in
Wreck Near Holt,
Missouri
Associated Press,

HOLT, Mo-, Sept. 16.-One man was
killed and eighteen persons injured
when two passenger trains met in
head-on collision on the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy railroad, one mile
north of here at $3.50 tonight.
The engines met on a high treste
over a small creek. So great was the
weight of the Rock Island train, how
ever, that it drove the Burlington
train back off the trestle.
The trains were the Burlington No.
6, which left Kansas City at o'clock,
and the Rock Island No. 201, which
left Chicago at 1880 last night. The
latter train headed in on the Burling-
ton tracks at Cameron junction on its
way to Kansas City. A misunderstood
ing of orders by the Burlington crew
is said to have been responsible for the
wreck. The trains were to have
passed at this station.
E D. Howard of Brookfield, Mo-,
brakeman of No. 6. was killed.
Among the injured are Joe Mitchick,
Brookfield, Mo-, conductor No. 6, left
shoulder dislocated; William Garrett,
Brookfield, engineer No. 6, right leg
broken; John Mlnger, Hamilton, Mo-,
head and legs hurt; Richard Hunt,
Cameron, Mo-, back and right side
bruised; Edward Stephens. Brookfield,
head cut and back hurt; p. e. L. Scott,
Lathrop, St. Joseph, head injured; S.
E. I.angherty. Joliet, Mont, head cut,
right shoulder and left leg injured;
Thomas McKinsley, Brookfield, fire
man No. 6, slightly hurt.
The weight of the engine of No. POI
and the fact that it carried steel cars
prevented anyone on it being injured.
None of the injured will die. All
those who were hurt with the excep-
ton of members of the train crew
were in the smoking car on the Bur
lington train. This car was derailed
and rolled down an embankment. All
the remainder of the equipment of
both trains remained on the track.
After the Burlington train had
passed here Luther E. Wilhert, the
agent, realized a wreck might take
place. He called farmers along the
line by telephone and pleaded with
them to stop the train, but it was too
late.
Howard, who was killed, was thrown
through q window of the smoker and
crushed beneath the car.
Relief trains were sent from Kansas
City and Lathrop.
