"The Red Mill"

"The Red Mill" a high grade mu-
steal comedy, made good all the prom
Uses that were made for it when it
came to the Norfolk Auditorium Sat
urday night. The two comedians,
James Crowley and William Moore,
were stars of first rank, and kept
the audience laughing hilariously from
start to finish. In one particular
scene, in which they represented two
Italians with a real live monkey, they
drew round after round of applause,
and were made to come back time
and again by the audience, that was
tremendously enthusiastic over their
clever funmaking.
The leading lady of the company,
Maude Lyon, who was to have taken
the part Of Gretchen, missed the train
at Columbus, and that role was con-
siderably weakened as a result. An
other disappointing feature was the
fact that the stage was not high
enough to use the mill scene, where
the wings of the big Dutch mill go
swinging around and carry out the
girl.
The audience was a pretty good
sized one, and everybody seemed
pleased with the show,

GoSSAND GETS HIS MONEY.
Bailey, Who Claimed He Was a Sa-
Ioonist, Is Located.


Too many jokes enjoyed by his
friends at his expense, caused Leonard
Gossard, a Norfolk barber, to go to
Stanton county Friday and bring jim
Bailey into a corner, which resulted
in Bailey's paying Gossand Sc of which
he had been tipped" Some weeks ago
Bailey came to Norfolk representing
himself as Saloonkeeper of Omaha.
He hired" one Norfolk man to go to
Omaha and act as his bartender. He
made several good touches" among
his new acquaintance, and when he
visited the barber shop in which Cos
sard is employed he left his suitcase
and borrowed So from the barber for a
few hours. The suitcase remained in
the BARRIERS care, but Bailey disap-
peared. Made uncomfortable by jests
of friends, Gossard did little detec-
tive work on his own account, and To-
Gated Bailey on a farm in Stanton
county. With the aid of a bicycle he
reached the farm and Bailey paid up.
When Gossard returned to Norfolk
with his money, he expressed Bailey's
suitcase to Stanton. The charges
Bailey will have to pay. Gossard be-
lieves he now deserves the right to
turn the point on those who have not
recovered their money. Bailey is a
painter.
