"POLLY OF THE F0LLIES" A

There is many a laugh in Polly at

ing this week at the Arcade Theatre.
But it is not all laughter. Naturally,
wherever soldiers play an important
part in either story or play There must
be a few tears. In the play Polly at
the Follies' there are three distinct
love stories, one of sadness, between
Polly Eccles Miss Nina Turner and
Hon George D'Alroy George Turner
due to the differences in social stand
ing; the second, that runs much more
smoothly, involves Polly's sister Esther

Meek gave a very croditablc perform

she had but a short time to get up in
the part, due to the sudden Illness of

for the role. The third love tale is
that of Captain Hawtree, contributed

comedy role of Papa Eccles in his
usual unctuous manner. Mrs. Donald

big GAIETY COMPANY" AT
THE GAYETY A PALPABLE HIT,

If you miss THE Big Gaiety Com
pany," which is playing a weeks en-
gagement at the Gayety Theatre, you
will miss a classy burlesque show. Not
alone are the comedians headed by Gus
Fay the goods, but the olio is of the
highest order. Beautiful costumes are
worn by the women and the lighting
effects are fine.
We willingly admit that Gus Fay
is funnier than ever this season.
AS Adolph Meyerwurst, a woman
Halter (?), he keeps the audience in con-
tinuous laughter. Clara Douglass
Racket, who takes the leading role
among the women, is accomplished.
She ably assists Fay in moving along
in the two-act burlesque. "A Florida
Enchantment." which is replete with
humorous situations. Joe Hollender,
Beulah Benton, Marie Beaugarde and
william West also aid in the laugh
situations.
The Majestic Musical Four are a

really is mounted, following the

M|sER's WEALTH
FOUND HIDDEN IN
LOFT OF BARN
Neighbor With Pitchfork Acci-
dentalIy Brings Money
Box to Light.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia strange
story of the sudden Heath of a wealthy
~recluse. the rescue of his body from
a burning house and the accidental
finding of a fortune in bonds. cash and
jewels in the loft of his barn became
public yesterday In consequence of an
application for letters of administra-
ton on the estate of carston Stem
norman, late of Stony Point on the
Hudson.
The letters of administration arc
sought by the dead mans brother,
Nicholas Stemmerman. of 9Sl Trinity
avenue, the Bronx, a business man OF
property. whose daughters, Georginc
and Sophie. figure in the story and
may come in for a goodly share of
their uncle's estate.
On the morning of Tune IL the re-
cluse's two nieees in the Bronx,
Georgine and Sophie, went to Stony
Point. The uncle had told them he was
going to sell his farm, and they were
asked to put the old house in order.
While they were talking with him
that afternoon on the piazza and show
Ing him some of the cherries and
Strawberries they had gathered. he fell
off his chair and died almost instantly.
That night. about 1920 o'clock, the
two nieces, who were alone in the old
house with the body of their uncle,
were awakened by the smell of smoke.
A violent storm was raging. The place
had been set on fire by a stroke of
lightning, The young women carried
the body of their uncle from a bedroom
downstairs. There their strength gave
out, and as the flames were approach
ing they were about 20 abandon the
body in order to flee. for their lives
when a neighbor broke in. With his
aid the body vas taken outside and
laid on the lawn, covered with a horse
blanket to protect 1t from the rain.
For many weeks after the funeral of
the recluse an %unavailing search was
made for his hidden fortune, The ruins
of the dwelling were raked over and
over again. The fields were dug up in
many places and the trunks of hollow
trees were explored. But all to no pur-
pose.
Finally. one day. when everybody
had given up hope of ever discovering
the missing fortune, Frederick Rose,
a neighbor, made the lucky find. He
had gone into the much-searched barn
to stable a cow. He was poking into
a dark corner of the loft when the
prongs of his pitchfork struck against
something hard. He poked again.
This time the hard object gave forth
a metallic sound. Rose crept into the
corner on his hands and knees, and
succeeded in dragging forth an iron
box containing $4,000.
