It is different from any play thus far
produced by the CONFESS Players, and
It is productive in the matter Of once
more demonstrating the versatility Of

that has a rural sectio as back

accordingly. Her rendition was both
clever and life-like. The longer she
was on the stage the better was she

LOLO MYSTIFIES
CARRICK CROWD
Indian Girl With Eight Other
Acts Make Up Splendid
Comedy Bill

As a big feature of classy and
really extraordinary bill, Lolo, the mys-
terious Sioux Indian girl, had every
body guessing at the Garrick ThSatre
last night, when a large audience grert-
ed the bin and showed its appreciation
of every act. Lolo has visited the Car
rick before and she was remembered by
some of the patrons. She was here three
years ago, when her mysterious work
was the talk Of the town and it is sure
to be so this week. Lolo, while blind
folded, has the faculty of being able
to answer any question asked her about
things about which she is supposed 10
have no knowledge, even to being able
to tell what person has in their
pocket, when asked to do so. With alb
solutely no chance of seeing she reads
cards, letters, monograms, etc. in the
audience, while she could not see If she
were not blindfolded remaining on the
stage. She shoots accurately without
seeing, thus giving further demonstra-
tion of her wonderful talent She is
known as the mysterious Indian girl,
and those who saw her last night agree
that that is what she Is.
The bill which comprises nine acts. is
very largely the best kind Of comedy,
which is largel~ responsible for the re-
markable success Of the Garrick Among
the novelties is the act of Caesar Rivoli,
an impersonator, who appeared TO be
able to assume the character of any
person he desired TO initiate. The inn
presentations were splendid, not only as
to general appearance. but also as to
the voice and he certainly takes top
rank for lightning changes. "Ihe Sing
ing Countess" is the title of a clever
musical comedy, which was admirably
given by Ida Brooks Hunt, an accom-
plished comedienne, and a capable COM
pany Miss Hunt is new in vaudeville,

cal comedies in the legitimate, but she

Idea
RESOLUTION IN COUNCIL
AGAIN ON THURSDAY

Since City Councilman Weller e.
Slower endeavored TO engage a private
detective. whose duties were to have
been mapped out by the finance com
nittee Of city Council, there has been
much discussion as to what Mr..
stover's purpose was in having such
an oficer. hut so far no one seems
TO have been able to learn this fact,
with the possible exception of Mr.,
Etover's fellow Councilmen.
II is reported that following last
weeks meeting Mr. Stover impaired
10 the other Councilmen some of his
reasons for wanting q private detec-
tive in the employ of Council and his
explanations are said TO have been SO
convincing that several of the Coun-
cilmen who first voted against the
resolution are now said TO favor IL
and have expressed their willingness
to change their vote on The question
This change of sentiment practically
assures the appearance of the same
resolution at the meeting of Council
next Thursday night IL is believed
that should it be presented il will be
passed.
II has developed that some of IN,
Councllmen had been called on tn,

against the resolution authorizing the
employment of a private detective
Some of the police officers who tool
this action are said to have becom,
very insistent with the Councilmcr
that they prevent the adoption of tn,

ed some of the members to express
their willingness TO vote for the reso.

ference that the policemen who die
this had good reasons TO believe that

It is stated that the best detective
available will be employed should the
resolution be passed and no one will
know who he Is. when he will come
here or along what lines he Will work.
It is understood that William J.
Burns himself will be engaged, should
his services not cost too much, or at
least one of his best men will be se-
cured &c work under his personal di-

caused something of furore
