INSANE?
Hearing to Determine Sanity
of Former TOpekan.
Pioneer of VaudevilIe-OId
Time Theatrical Man.

A hearing is in progress in the pro-
| bate court this afternoon to determine
the sanity of Charles Elliott, who was
brought home from New York the
other day by his father. George Elliott
of AIS Monroe 1t will be a distinct
shock to the many friends of the
ElliOtts that Charley" as he was
known a few years ago to almost
everyone in town is suffering from
mental breakdown.
Charley grew up in the Theatrical
business with the Crawfords and was
manager of their house at Leavenworth
suggestion that L. NJ. Crawford built
the theater at ST. Joseph which was
named the Lyceum. and Elliott, then
young man was its first manag ger, he
being transferred Their from the
Leavenworth house.
Finally he left the employ of the
Crawfords and went to New York city
where he was engaged in the theatrical
booking business for a couple Of
years. Then he was associated with
Colonel Hopkins in the first tour
through the west of a real vaudeville
show. After this venture he con-
tinued with Colonel Hopkins in the
management of a theater in Chicago
where they put on vaudeville stunts
between the acts of a regular show.
In fact, he was one of the pioneers in
the vaudeville world.
For the past few years he has been
engaged in the theatrical business in
New York, and a few months ago he
was stricken with a nervous disorder
that affected his mind. He has been
in sanitarium in New York but did
not respond readily to treatment, and
his father decided that it would be
best to bring him home, and have him
treated at the state hospital here.
