LAUREL, Del, Aug. 9-Louis Hum
phreys, 20 years old, nephew of ex-
Congressman William II. Jackson, of
Salisbury, Md. was electrocuted here
yesterday afternoon. He was an eX-
pert lineman and came here from Sal
isbury two years ago to work for the
telephone company. About two months
ago he entered the service of the Sus-
sex Light and Power Company.
With fellow-lineman, he was en-
gagged in stringing a new wire on
Market street. The local plant lights
the towns of Seaford, Bridgeville,
Delmar and Sharptown. Humphreys
received a severe shock Saturday,
and was cautioned about the feed
wire. The company has only recent
ly begun running a day current, and
il is supposed Humphreys, being used
to handling the dead wires, became
careless.
The accident occurred at o'clock,
and happening i'm the busiest part OF
the city, was viewed by scores of citi-
zens. The first thing to call attention
to Humphreys fate was when his ply
ers fell to the ground, nearly striking
Lee Davis. As people looked up,

Marshalltown saw for the first time
at the Odeon last night the gorgeous
production of Mort H. Singer. starrin 9
Henry Woodruff in The Prince of To-
night This clever musical comedy
from the collaboration of Hough and
Adams and Joseph E. Howard proved
one of the most delightful musical
treats of the season. and was witnessed
by good sized audience
In producing the music for The
Prince of Tonight Mr.. Howard has not
deviated much from many of his other
clever productions Some are the old
tuneful airs worked over To a newer
setting. but this fact does not detract
from their tunefulness.
The story of The Prince of To-
night is far more comprehensive and
pleasing than the average run of mus
ical plays. There is q plot and one that
| is pleasing. telling a pretty love story
centering about the star and his clever
supporting woman, Ruth PEBBLES.
Included in the east are all of tie
leading characters who presented the
piece originally in the Princess Theater
Chicago. Aside from Mr.. Woodruff and
Miss PEBBLES are John c. Leach the
old husband of the young wife who has
penchant for becoming angry and
smashing hats; Joseph Herbert. Jr., the
son of his veteran father-actor. who

that there is not single suggestive

this is eliminated from The Prince of

full.
Mr.. Woodruff appeared to excellent
advantage in the title role. and his
introduction to the audience, as a col
lege man looking for a job, reminds
one of the old days of Brown OF Har-
ward in which Woodruff starred 50
successfully for four seasons. Mr.,
Woodruff was bothered by severe
cold. which has developed chronic
laryngitis. which has affected his
