CHIMNEY SWEEP EATS EMPER0R'S BREAKFAST
 AND GOES TO PRISON

Budapest, Nov. 25-A chimney sweep who ate Emperor Francis Josefs breakfast a. few mornings ago, was released from prison today with 9 warning. His Majesty,s rising hour is 3:30 a. m. First he takes a cold plunge, then calls for food. The cook always has it ready in advance so as not to keep the Emperor waiting. On this occasion, however, when the bell sounded, the cook turned to the lar der for the tray but it wasn't there.
 Instantly the cook gave the alarm The palace was surrounded and searched with fine tooth comb. Sooty footprints led to the chimney sweeps room. The sweep was just swallowing the last mouthfu of the i'm mperia1 breakfast.
 His plea that he thought it was the cooks breakfast was what got him out of jail but the fireman who ought to have been watching it lost his po- Sition.

'"The Havoc,s a tense, gripping drama. which is announced for We'd nesday, Nov. 27, matinee and even- ing at the Park Theatre has been the most talked of play since MT. Henry Miller produced it in New York. It terest with .'The Servant in the House. MT. Torin Howard, Miss Marta Oatkman. MT.

 fsThe Merry Widow
 national operetta, t"rhe Merry Wid- ow," will be offered by the original producer, MT. Henry w. Savage, as the attraction at the Park .Thettre, Tuesday. Nov. 26. MT. Savage is very proud of the famous piece and prom ises magnificent new production for the occasion. The name of Savage will be irnmortalized in the field of lighter opera by this same Merry Widow" The increasing discrimIna- tion by the populace In matters mus ical, may be traced directly to the advent of the almost perfect Iehar score. MT. Savage has assembled many of the original players for the new version. Mabel Wilber, one Of the first Sonias in New York; will again be here and the Prince will be sung by Charles Meakins. Oscar Fig man will be the very funny Ambassa- dor, and F. J. Mccarthy will again play the role which he created at the New Amsterdam Theatre, New York. There will of course be a new bevy of Maxim girls and the special Merry Widow orchestra will help the local theatre organization to an adequate rendering of the beautiful score.
