Special Engagen. .ent of this Original
Play for One Night Only.


Play for One Night Only.
'.st. Elmo the latest dramatic work of
Agusta Evans Wilson will be presented for
ehs first time in this city. Thursday night,
March 31st, by Williams and Seraphin. The
play is exactly the same that played in the
Academy of Music. New York, Boston,
Chicago and all the larger cities of the
country. Its scenes are laid IN Tennessee.
Its characters are people of culture, active
a. the social life of the South. Its principal
characters are man and woman, while
apparently living a life of ease and content
nent are in reality harrassed by many mis-
understandings and combinations of unto
ward conditions
st. Elmo has proved itself unques-
Honly one of the most emphatic dramatic
successes CT the season. 1t has a grip the
contemporary dramas especially those by
H3ayWrlghts seem to POSSESS From the
Hse of the curtain to the final it holds its
sudience in a state of rapt attention and
thus far no play-goer no matter how blase
he may be has been able to leave the theatre
eOnsclentiously announcing that he has not
Aeen thrilled. And at length Williams and
Seraphln with their usual careful attention
10 the selection of casts have chosen com.
pany whose dominant characteristic, con.
sidered individually OF collectively, is ef-
hciency. Malcom Richmond and Mayne
L0rbe have the leading roles. Other char
sfters are ID such capable hands as those o
W. d. Bedell, Richard Lebarr, VIM. Hirst
karie Mayo, Harry Moore, May Stuart an,
Nellie Ryan. The scenic production o
st. Elmo Is typical Williams and Sera

and atmospheric accuracy.

First National bank for s2.Oo0,000 wednes-
day morning, was camping on, the steps
of the bank this morning before it opened.
He had a grip in HIS hand. On his former
visit to the bank he told the teller the First
National had $751; OO, 900 Of his, and said he
saw the teller then counting 1t. 1t is sup
posed he had returned with the grip to
get the full amount.
The man was observed by the janitor.
who t%elephoned the police, and he was
taken to the station.
Sterling Wednesday was taken first
to the police station, and then to
his home at 1920 sherman avenue.
where he appeared to be recovering
rapidly from his alteration. It was hoped
that this would prove temporary, but In
stead he broke out of the house at an
early hour this morning.
Sterling is not regarded as dangerous,
but such a vagary as demanding several
millions at a bank teller's window is re-
garded as being fraught with dangerous
possibilities Tor the man making the de-
mand.

the knowledge and consent of her father,
who lives In Omaha.
Mr.. Frank feels aggrieved not only by
the. taking away Of his daughter by a
man whom he scarcely knows, but because
OF the representations made against him
to the asylum authorities,
Miss Anna Frank was 4 years old when
her mother died. Her father then placed
her and her brother In an orphanage at
Cleveland. In the orphanage at that time
vas Charles Simon. who has the girl in
charge.
Miss Frank grew into girlhood and then
young womanbood and became a stenog-
rapher in Chicago. Her father, meanwhile,
had not neglected his children and ex-
erclsed a fatherly interest in her. Their
something happened while the girl was In
Chicago which completely dethroned her
reason. She became helpless.
Her father vent to Chicago and brought
her back to Omaha. Mr.. Frank put her in
the Wise Memorial hospital and then IN
st. Bernard's. Her Ease seemed incurable
and she was taken before the Board Of In
sanity Commissioners. who adJudged her
insane and sent her to Lincoln.
