SOME SKETCH
AT PR0CTOR'S
Freddie Has Much Praise
for Sheriff Bob"

Pm dead stuck on the sketch at
Proctor's theatre today. It's called,
SHERIFF Bob"-Charles Keane Is
him, and then there is an outlaw,
and of course a skirt. The outlaw
has Just robbed a stage coach when
the curtain goes up, and he held up
his own sister-of course he didn't
know it because he hadn't seen her
since she was a kid. The sheriff
brings her to the outlaws cabin
but I'm not going to tell you the
whole story-go and see 1t your
self. Mr.. Keane was fine and so was
the rest of them.
The Clayton Trio are made up of
a couple of skirts and a man. They
come out first playing. two of them
on comets, and the other on a thing
that looks like the comets father.
They play fine and just make the
rafters ring.
Frazee is a wonder. He makes
shadows on a sheet with his bare
hands-and no fiXings-of every
thing-cats, dogs, elephants, Roose-
welt, Taft-and the finish was a love
scene-and 1t was a scream to see
the follow and girl kiss.
The Morrissey Sisters are two
classy girls. all dressed up in black
velvet, gold fringe, and diamond
buttons. They've got good voices
too, and some dancers.
There were c~rackajaCk good pic
lures.
All the girls keep their eyes on
the case where the souvenirs grow,
and, believe me, there's going to be
something doing in that case in the
way of stunning souvenirs in a few
days.
SO long.

Michigan-ave., the lower floor Of
which Is occupied by Goldman & Levi
son as shoe stree and the upper part
used by Robert MINIS as the Star ho-
tel, was destroyed by fire, Monday

Some OF the occupants OF the hotel
rooms were still in bed when the alarm
was sounded, and they made a hasty
exit. Nelson Blair, about so years
aid. was asleep on the third floor az
the time. He was arosed by the
smoke making him cough. Quickly
donning his trousers and coat he
rushed to the fire escape at the front
or the building and called for the fire
department to hoist a ladder to him.
The request was complied with as
quickly as possible, but every minute
seemed like an hour TO Blair, as the
smoke was belching out of all the
windows around him. and he thought
every moment would be his last He
heaved deep sigh of relief when he
finally stepped from the ladder TO the
ground, safe and sound.
Other occupants escaped down the
stairway, but first threw their belong
ings out the rear windows into the al
ley.
The fire was confined TO the Star
hotel building, but the water flooded
the basement of the furniture store
of John r Sullivan & Co.. No. 134
