CLARK HAD ONE son
Fact Concerning Violin Max
er Becomes Known.

It was not known in this city that
1.-THE late Alvin b. Clark, the violin
maker, who died recently in this city,
and whose body was forwarded to
the home OF his brother In Constable
willie. New York. had son by mar
riage prior to that to his wife who was
known in Richmond.
Mr.. Clark was married early in life
to young woman from whom he was
later estranged and finally divorced,
his wife taking her infant son to her
old home and. after her death, the
child having been adopted by its ma
'ternal grandparents.
Mr. Clark had seen his son but two
or three times in his life ana the for
,mer made no effort at any recoacilia-
ton. After Mr.. Clark's second mar
riage and removal to Richmond he had
no intercourse with his son or his
first wifes people and therefore no
zone knew of the existence Of the son.
The son, whose home is in Oneida,
New York, attended the funeral. Mr..
Everett Knollenberg, who was put in
charge of Mr.. Clark's effects, states
that there are number of yiolins am
ong the latter. as well as some pieces
OF old furniture.

"Sexen DAYS"

Seven Days." the play that set the
prevailing fashion for comedy, which
like all good things has many imita-
tors but no equal, will be at the Cen
nett Theater, Friday. September p,
coming direct from the Aston Theater,
New York, where at the beginning of
the present season it scored third
year on Broadway. If for Seven
Days" recommendation were needed
it would be furnished by this New
York record alone, apart from the
plays success in Chicago, Boston,
Philadelphia and elsewhere. In New
York, Seven Days" ran for two years
without interruption, then returns to
reach third year, record shown by
no other comedy ever produced in this
country. This speaks unanswerably
for play that has swept the continent
with laughter and upset the gravity of
a nation. For three years New York
howled with delight at the fun in "Sev-
en- Days." that doesn't let up for a
fraction of second. For six months
Chicago roared itself hoarse over the
comedy, for four months Boston shout
ed with laghter, while Philadelphia,
only little behind in length of time,
was as vociferously merry over the
most delightful play in twenty years.
There is no getting away from facts
like these. They prove Seven Days"
the great popular comedy of the time.
Designed by it's authors, Mary Roberts
Rinehart and Avery Hopwood, to en-
terrain and amuse, to Great wholesome
gaiety and clean, honest laughter, this
