CURTAIN CALLS

The secret is out Ned A. Sparks
who plays the unsmiling, grouchy
hotel day clerk in Little Miss Brown
at the Shubert Theatre this week. can
smile. More than that, he can laugh
heartily, and did so last night in
response to the query, Are you al
ways as grouchy-looking and solemn
as you appear when on the stage?"
AS the kill joy hotel clerk, Mr.
Sparks goes through three acts with
out ever the semblance of a smile or
his countenance, and this has lee
many people in the audience to be-
lieve that he is naturally a sober
minded sort of a crank at all times
Not in the least, and we have Mr.
Sparkss own words for it. Said he
last night
Sure I can smile and laugh, anc
that is what | do most of the time
1 am off the stage. The grouchy. un-
smiling look is only a stage pretense
for really am most good-humored
and joyful person."
And you had to believe him, too, as
he lay back in his chair and laughed
one of those big, hearty laughs thai
sound like the booming of a big bass
drum.
And listen. We will let you in on
another little secret of Mr.. Sparks s
He is writing a play and Is going tc
star in it next year. And in it he will
play the same sort of misanthropic
pessimistic being that he makes the
day clerk and hotel detective in
Little Miss Brown"
And, believe me-" said Mr.. Sparks
ut is no real fun playing these sort
of roles, especially when you have 9
bunch of funlovers like we have II
this company, who are always guy
ing you in undertones on the stage
trying to make you laugh"
"Do they ever succeed?"
Sure they do, but not very often
for ! have those laughing muscles
pretty well trained by this time" and
again the deep, hearty laugh of the
grouchy- looking clerk rang through
the dressing room.
An exceptionally interesting and
varied bill began at matinee today for
the last half of this week at the Kee-
ney Theatre. One of the features is
Harlan Knight and company in the
rural playlet, 1.-THE Chalk Line" which
is brimful of comedy of the simon
pure "rube' type. Among the other
acts are Niblo's talking birds, which
indulge In a veritable "conversaz-
zione' and furnish entertainment OF
special interest for the children; the
Musical Gates, The Singing Trio,
Knight and Benson, Lorenz and Dale
and Dunlay and Merrill, all clever

WOMEN CAUGHT IN
BANKRUPTCY NET
Two Figure in Inquiry OF Bust
ness Practises Before Fed
eral Grand Jury.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2e.-Twe women
figured yesterday in the inquiry which
United States Attorney H. Snowden
Marshall and two Federal grand
juries are making into alleged fraudu-
lent bankruptcy cases.
Belle Sosenko, a demure little milli-
ner of Franco Russian birth, with ap-
pealing brown eyes and curling hair,
was arrested on a charge of perjury
and attempted concealing of assets in
the failure of her millinery shop at
1890 Broadway. She was held TO
$500 bond for examination next
week.
Belle Ettinger, a slender, fearful
girl was held by Judge Killets in the
Federal Criminal Court in $500 bail
after having been araigned for con-
tempt of court in failing to answer
questions put to her by the foreman
of grand jury investigating the
Samuels bankruptcy case.
The dragnet investigation which
Mr.. Marshall has under way is grow
ing more extensive every day and has
made it necessary for another grand
Jury to go into the evidence. More
complaints of the disappearance OF
assets in various bankruptcies are
being laid before Mr.. Marshall and in
addition the detectives and process
servers are bringing in many wit
nesses.
Woman Charges Conspiracy.
The arrest of Miss Sosenko, made
under the direction of United States
Marshal william Henkel, promises an
inquiry in still another field because
she charged conspiracy and said she
had highly interesting story to tell
to Edwin W. Stanton, assistant
United States attorney.
A petition in bankruptcy was hled
against her on December IS. Joseph
L. Young, representing the creditors,
began an investigation.
Refused to Answer Questions.
Belle E,ttinger was called in the in
vestigation of the bankruptcy of Jo-
seph Samuels & Co. Involved in the
failure also are the Arms Of Abraham
& Lesser and Samuels & Lesser. She
declined to answer the questions put
to her and was in tears when taken
before Judge killits.
She was wanted, apparently, to
corroborate certain testimony given
in bankruptcy hearing before Mac
Crane Coke, as referee, by Harry
Siegel, formerly bookkeeper for Sam
uels g. Co. Jacques Samuels, men,
Der of Samuels & Co, 1t is said, had
half interestin the Radiant Waist
and Dress Company. also connected
with the Samuels enterprise.

Joseph G. Robin, ex-Banker,
Charges Pardon Granted Him
Was Destroyed or Stolen

NEW YORK, FAN. 2s.-Joseph G.
Robin, the former banker, who was
released last November from Black
wells Island, charged today that a
pardon granted him by William Sui
ger on August IL, 1913 before the for
mer governors impeachment, was de-
stroyed or stolen.
Robin makes his charge in an &C.
ton to fix responsibility for the dis
appearance of the pardon papers,
which, he alleges. deprived him of his
liberty. He is fighting for a recon-
sideration of the second pardon,
granted by Sulzer on August so, and
a hearing will be held before Justice
Hasbrouck in the Supreme Court of
Ulster County on February T.
Justice Hasbrouck, in a proceeding
to determine the status of Governor
SuIzer, decided September II, 1918,
that the pardon was invalid on the
ground that Sulzer had no right to
act as governor after articles of i'm
parchment had been served upon him.

his going on the stage was in way
forced upon him, as during his boy

on Coney Island. who for twenty-nine
years was the floor manager of
Stauch's Newark Pavilion, died Mon
day at the Polytechnic Hospital, Man

lochs widow and children.
Barney" Knobloch was born in
Austria fifty-nine years ago: He was

went with Mr.. Stauch. He leaves a
widow, Lottie. and a daughter, Lottie,
who is thirteen years old. He was a
character known to every one who
visited the West End of Coney Island
and though odd in appearance, seemed
to manage the ballroom with facil ty,
always preserving decorum. Mr..
Stauch says he will never have his
equal in his line.
