IN THE HOUSE
A Remarkable Play = Daiy's
Theatre was Well Filled With

ate time for the presentation of the
play ''The Servant In The House. It
took the Grand Rapids audience by
storm and they appeared to be spell
bound during the presentation. Of
ten so engrossed in its interesting
characters that they failed to en-
core the interesting climaxes. 1t is
accorded the reputation of being one
of the finest productions ever seen in
Grand Rapids. 1t was enthusiastic
ally received from the time of the fir
act to the last one. It has been the
talk of the town ever since it was
presented. Mr.. Hugo Koch as Man
son, was an ideal character and took
his part faultlessly. His impersona-
ton was marvellous, and the audien-
ce experienced a strange sensation
from the time he first made his ap-
pearance. There was a reverent at
titude about the presentation Of the
character which he represented He
was often encored.
Mr. Donald Merrifield as Robert
Smith, was an excellent character
and showed a constant study of the
conditions of the Man who is in the
underworld He certainly won a
warm place in the hearts of his audi
ence E. H. Horner, as the Reverend
Smythe, was another strong feature
in the production though an entire dit
ferent one from all others He was
the typical character of the artificial
clergyman with success upper-most
in his mind and very little religion
in his makeup. Miss Velma Whit
man as the Wears wife was a pecu-
liar character that entered into the
makeup of the play and was an in

BOYS EACH
FINED $500

Eleven boys from Nekoosa were
fined one dollar and costs, totaling
$5 each in Judge Browns court on
Monday afternoon. The charge was
petty larceny on the premises of the
pavilion Charles e. Briere, Dis
trict Attorney, appeared for the state
and the lawyer for the defendants
was H. E. Fitch of Nekoosa. The
boys were let down easy and it is
hoped that the arresting and filming
of them will be an example to other
boys who are thoughtless in regard
to respecting property belonging to
others. Future cases of this nature
will undoubtedly be dealt with in a
much more severe manner.
