OLD HOMESTEAD
 AT POLPS THEATER

No better selection of a play for Thanksgiving week could have been made than "The Old Homestead" Denman Thompson's celebrated ru- ral drama that has delighted thou- sands upon tn housands of playgoers all over the United States, since it's initial production at the old Boston Opera House in 1886.
 "The Old Homstead" has never until now been presented in stock and it is due to the liberal1ty or MT. Poli, in the matter of payment of an unusually large royalty to se- cure the rights of production and his determination to provide for his patrons the best that can be had, that Mr. Frank Thompson, son of he author and present owner of the play, consented to give MT. Poli tho rights to present his fathers old masterpiece.
 The present production by the Poli Players will follow with fidelity every detail of the original. By special ar- engagement with the owners of t he play "The Old Homestead quartette will be included in the presentation and will render a program of songs of other days. No production of the 'The Old Homestead" would be con- plete without the famous male quar- tette.
 In addition Miss Fayette Perry, ! the dainty ingenue of the Poli play CTS, and MT. Thomas Sena, will sing and dance an original number which is sure to delight everyone. Thanksgiving week at Po1is will be red-letter week and no mistake. Never was there such an attraction offered to patrons of stock as 'The l Old Homestead and to see it will mark an epoch in the highway of 1 life.

SLAIN IN LITTLE ITALY AS WIFE
LOOKS ON

Struck from behind while walking
with his wife, Joseph DeFrancisco of
712 w. Taylor ST., was brutally muir
dered by two men today. His skull
was crushed and throat cut. No mo-
tive is known.
A stranger called for Mrs. De
Francisco, who is midwife, early
this morning. Afraid to let his wife
make the call alone, DeFrancisco
slipped a revolver in his pocket and
accompanied her with the stranger.
When the trio reached Desplaines
and Taylor sts., two men stepped be-
hind them and one struck him down
with a baseball bat. Although his
skull was crushed by the blow, the
other murderer nearly severed his
head from the body with a razor.
A few minutes later, Samuel Car
vello and Frank Ingallinero of 1913
Vernon Park pl., were stopped and
taken into custody by the police when
they were observed running. There
was blood on their clothing. Other
suspects have been captured.
