SOCIETY MlTRON
"SUPES" ON STAGE
Startled Friends Recognize Mrs,
Lurline Lyons Montgomery
at Alcazar Theater


Seeking to vary the monotony of the
social swim, Mrs Lurline Lyons Mont
gomery. popular young society
matron, has turned to the joys of
"suping" on the Alcazar stage, finding
in the flash of the footlights greater
thrill than that of the drawing room

one of the bevy of college maidens

hiding her identity under her maiden
name of Lyons.
So well did she disguise herself that,
though she has been walking on
internationally for the last two months
it was not until a few nights ago that
she was recognized. Some of her
society friends at the performance
gave a gasp of surprise when the
cluster of girls. laughing stagily, ap-
peared on the scene. For, through
the disguise and makeup there was
seen Mrs. Montgomery.
The reason of Mrs. Montgomery
advent on the stage is surrounded by
considerable mystery and secrecy.
About two months ago she presented
herself at a local dramatic school,
bearing a letter of introduction from
Miss Ruth Mitchell of Los Angeles.
declaring it was her intention to fit
herself for professional work.
She entered into the studies with ex-
ceptional enthusiasm and in a few
weeks was allowed the opportunity of
walking on the stage of the Alcazar
as a supe.

DANCE A La SEfLY

Carnegie Steel Company Feast
at Sl00 Per Plate Is the
Talk of Pittsbnrg

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. s.-The, ex-
travagance and orgies connected with
the annual dinner of the Carnegie steel
officials held last night and early this
morning at the Fort Pitt hotel here is
the talk of Pittsburg. Every precau-
tion was taken to insure secrecy, even
the keyholes being plugged and armed
guards being stationed outside the ban
quet hall TO repel boarders.
Manager Blanchard of the hotel was
thrown out bodily, and his guests. to
whom he was showing the splendor
connected with the decorations of the
banquet hall, met with like treatment.
But despite all this some of the doings
have become public property. and as a
result rigid investigation may result
to show why the Carnegie oficIals
should be allowed TO dine so lavishly at
the expense of the stock holders az the
United States steel corporation
The banquet proper cost 800 n plate
and there were 70 guests. The banquet
hall decorations cost probably three
times as much. more than 81 900 being
expended on American Beauty roses
alone. Besides this, 500 canaries were
liberated during the feast They few
around the banquet hall and after 1t
was all over many of them are said TO
have escaped to the street, where they
perished in the cold. sharp morning air.
But the piece de resistance came
after the feast. Through a side door Of
the hotel it is said that several pretty
young women dancers were smuggled,
and around the clubs today 1t is assert
ed that they danced with all the aban-
don of that lone dancer at the SeeIy
dinner. which created such a Juror in
New York circles several years ago.

When Leonard Smith. a motorman,

removed to the St. Francis hospital,
where he was given treatment.
Young Smith was locked up in the
city prison.
My stepfather and were good
friends except when he abused my
mother" said Merrill Smith at the city
prison. L am sorry this had to hap
pen, but it was due to come for a long
time, for the way my stepfather
treated my mother was terrible"
Wound Is Not Dangerous
Smiths wound was not considered
dangerous in itself but as the bullet
could not be located last evening there
is danger that blood poison may set in
The cause OF the trouble in the
Smith family was q matter of 81. Mrs.
Smith was in her sons room about 8
o'clock yesterday morning, before the
youth had left his bed. Her husband
entered the apartment and demanded

strated with her husband over the

gance. The two had :. vietent quarrel
Young Smith tried to stop the out
