CANCEL|NG SHOW
Play Too Poor Even for Ridge
wood, Is Theatre Mans
Claim.

A Judgment Of $4,000 taken by de-
fault against Henry Roclere, of Ridge
wood. Bergen county, by Frederick e.
Jacobs. of Newark, was the subject OF a
long wrangle before Chief Justice Will
lam S. Gummere today Herbert W.
Knight, representing Jacobs, and
Michael Dunn. Of Paterson, who looked
after Rocleres interests. each talked
for half an hour on the case, which
really involves less than $50.
Early in August, 1909, Roclere. as
manager of the Ridgewood Opera
House. made a contract with Jacobs
to produce THE Circus Girl a musical
comedy, at Ridgewood on the night OF
August 2S When the company reached
Ridgewood at noon on that day Jacobs
informed Roclere that owing TO sew
eral of his company failing to show UP
he could not produce THE Circus Girl,
but would put on a vaudeville per-
formance instead,
After witnessing a rehearsal of the
vaudeville performance Roclere decid-
ed it was too poor a show even for
Ridgewood and Cancelled the perform

Shortly after Roclere, who is himself
an actor, went away from home with
a show While he was away Jacobs

tract and got verdict by default for
$4,000. the full amount sued for. Ro-
clere knew nothing of the suit until
January /, 1910. He now asks that
the verdict be set aside as excessive
and the case reopened, Roclere de-
clares that the largest receipts ever
taken in at the Ridgewood Opera
House were about $50.

.BOARDER MOVES,
BUT NOT TO PLACE
He STARTED FOR
Many Interesting Facts Barred
by Inquisitive Cop Who
Halted Dennis.

Take your trunk and go used to be
a popular ballad some time ago, but
all the poetry in the sentiment it con-
veyed was lost on Joseph Fenton, of
120 Clifford street, when his star
boarder, Frank Dennis, silently stole
forth this morning about o'clock with
his trunk on his shoulder and a set
purpose on his mind. The purpose, as
it later transpired, was to get away
from Clifford street quickly and with
out attracting any more attention than
was necessary.
Patrolman Scanlon, of the Third Pre-
cinct, spied the man and the trunk as
they glided through the gray, early
morning mists and the combination
struck him as being little untimely.
Overtaking the man Scanlon asked him
WHITTIER away?' to which the man
replied with a confidence born of con-
viction that he could make good the
bluff, Just moving"
The more that Scanlon tried to find
out about the destination of the trunk,
the more uncertain the early mover
became as to just where he was going
and why he was going there. The pa
trolman finally decided to take the out
tit back to where it had come from SO
jauntily tossing the trunk to the other
shoulder. Dennis trudged back to 120
Clifford street.
When Mr.. Fenton learned that his
boarder intended moving, and had
even gone so far as to make an early
start he manifested the surprise that
is usually shown by man who reaches
for his watch and finds it gone. 1t de-
veloped at the interview that Mrs.
Fenton had just discovered that $3.50
was missing from the place where it
had been the night before.
This startling Intelligence quite over
came Dennis. who was seated on a
lounge during the interview, and his
emotion caused him to fall backward
and bury his face in his hands This
motion, while accomplished in the ap-
proved manner. did not prevent Scan
lon from seeing something fiutter to the
floor between the lounge and the WALL
1t proved to be a IS bill. This, to-
gether with the rest of the loose change
that Dennis had, was found, by
strange coincidence, to make up Just
the amount that Mrs. Fenton had
missed.
After Dennis had revived from the
surprise caused by these discoveries
that followed each other in such quick
succession, he together with the trunk
made record trip to the Third Pre-
cinct station.
This morning Dennis evidently con-
sidered that the evidence was too
strong against him. for he pleaded
guilty to the charge of taking the
money, and said that he had been
compelled TO get financial aid because
he had received word that an heir had
arrived in his family, which is in Pas
sale, and that his wife needed medi-
cine, etc It developed however, that
the heir was four months old and that
the wife is working every day to sup
port the child and herself.
When this interesting fact had been
established to the satisfaction of the
court Dennis was sent to the peniten-
tiary for ninety days. Thus the mat
ter of a new boarding place will not
bother Dennis until the robins begin
to migrate to the southland.
