ASADIE LOVE" AT LYRIC THEATRE IS
 AMUSING FARCE
Spicy Presentation Interests First Night Audience At
 Stock Play.

Spicy is perhaps the most de- scriptive word that can be applied to
 Sadie Love- which Miss Cecil Spooner and her company are produc- ng this week. for the popular farce comedy is composed of rather risque situations and filled with slams at married life and married people All the action is very light and, very snap py, and always the rather compronnis- ing situations in which Miss Love finds herself are relieved, by plenty of good clean comedy. The play is of course, one. of the latest Broadway: successes, having only just completed it's run of several months. It was written by Avery Hopwood, author of Fair and .Iarmer.''
 Sadie Love is most entertaining and impuIsive American girl as played by Miss Spooner. Miss Beu1ah Monroe gives an admirable characterization of Conltesse de Mirabole, Miss Edna May Spooner appears to good advantage as Lillian Wakely and Miss Rita Villers has the part of Mrs. Warrington!
 As Prince Luigi de Pa1lavaecini, a. romantic Italian nobleman, fPe1 Tren- ton has one of the best parts that he has had since coming to this city. It is a relief to see 3NHr- Trenton get away from the hero role for once.
 As Jim Wakeley, Frederick Clay ton succeeds in being the ttgoat'' Of the farce in a most Imaginable manner Clarence H. 4Doty appears as Mum ford Crewe, Clyde Armstrong as Ma loney, "a. detective, Darrell Vinton as a. steward and George Kelly as a man servant s

SPRING PIONEERING

Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1916-10-08
Ran True to Form in
Wedding His Newest Bride

Tyson instructed his chauffeur to throw
in the high" and hit only the high places
en- route to the nearest Justice Of the
Peace.
This victim. of broken slumbers was
Justice Albert F. Mead. He was in
clined to be insurgent, and to resent
the late ringing of his door bell. But
when he realized that his visitor was
John H. Tyson with third marriage
as his incentive for breaking speed limit
rules, he resigned himself to the in
evitable. He could hardly have done
otherwise, for the bridegroom and the
pretty young bride were accompanied
by Judge James F. Walsh former Prose
cutting Attorney at Greenwich.
Mr.. Tyson saw to it that the cere-
mony was not heightened by unneces-
sary technicalities. AS speedily as the
law allows the knot was firmly tied, and
the newly welded pair were whirling
around the corners on two wheels over
the roads back to the Tyson residence
at Riverside-not to break the speed
schedule, but because a start for the
honeymoon trip to- Honolulu must be
postponed until train time In the morn
ing.
Here occurred the only hitch. The
Honolulu start had to be postponed to
Tuesday-and In the meantime a leak
somewhere confronted the bridegroom
with the newspaper reporters shortly
after breakfast on Monday
Mr.. Tyson seemed much chagrinned
at this public discovery OF weak spot
in his marriage-honeymoon speed pro-
gramme However, he amiably explained
that his new bride was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Exiner, Of No. 1877
Lexington avenue, New York City. He
added:
I'VE have known each other for--well
about eight months We are very

The new Mrs. John H. TYSON ia de.
rcribed as dark, dainty and very pref
ty" Latterly she had been living in a
luxurious hotel suite in New York City
from which she mysteriously disappeared
few hours before the Greenwich noe
turnal excitement above described.
Evidently there was more than one
leak in Mr.. Tyson's secret get-mar-
ried-quick plans. 1t is related that soon
after he and his brand-new bride reached
the Riverside residence late that Sun
day night and were receiving the con
CALCULATIONS OF few intimate friends. a
slight cloud OF gloom was cast over the
festivities by an apparently amiable
ghost in the shape of the following tele-
gram
congratulations, dearest boy, and good
luck"
Apropos, it was whispered among the
guests how attentive Mr. Tyson had
been during the Summer to Mrs. Olive
Hawley Bass, who was expecting "A de-
cision in her divorce action against Will.
lam L. Bass, New York lawyer. All
mere gossip, OF course--how could a
maker of all-around speed records be
expected to dawdle along the highway of
this life while judges deliberated over
innumerable pages Of divorce testimony
Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1916-10-08

The two previous wives OF John III.
tance-killing passion on four wheels-and
otherwise. His first marriage was to
Miss Grace Ethel Starr, daughter of DR..
Alfred r. Starr, of New York. There
was a wedding reception at the Starr
residence. During its progress the BRIDE
grooms chauffeur rolled up to the door
in the big car that had recently won the
Savannah cup and Briarcliff trophy f~S
Tyson.
Suddenly the bridal pair were missing.
Before this discovery was five minutes
old they were speeding over the roads
toward Stamford. Conn.,, in the great
racing car. Several cars filled with
guests started In pursuit, also others
filled with process servers urgently de-
string to personally hand Mr.. Tyson
something he didn't want; but the trophy
racer distanced them all, connecting at
Bridgeport with touring car equipped
for the honeymoon trip, which made
swift and safe escape to parts unknown.
Two or three years later Mrs. Tyson
was suing for divorce, charging among
other frailties, cruelty and undue speed
of various kinds. While awaiting de-
velopments, Mr.. Tyson soothed his feel
ings by breaking some racing records
at Palm Beach. By strange coincidence
though there have been stranger coin
cidences--the charming young actress
from the New York Casino Theatre, Miss
Dorothy Storm Davidson. was also. stay
ing at Palm Beach, also member OF a
party at Snug Harbor, the Winter home
of the late Joseph Jefferson.
One afternoon Mr.. Tyson received a
telegram from New York. His wife had
secured decree Of absolute divorce.
His speedy motor boat was lying at the
Snug Harbor pier. Presently his secre-
tary, Frank Thomas, was crossing Hobe
Sound in a.cloud of spray. Returning in
another cloud of spray, he brought a
license permitting Mr.. Tyson to marry
Miss Davidson-"and SO they were mar
ried."
Mrs. John H. Tyson, number two, died
about year ago, leaving two sons and
"a baby daughter
The ruling passion-speed--in the life
OF Mr.. Tyson was gratifed even in
circumstances which brought him into
the enjoyment of independent fortune.
He had hardly attained his majority
when he inherited about $4,000 900 under
the will OF his grandfather, the late
George II. Tyson, one of the heads of
the American News Company and
founder of the Tyson Ticket Agencies.
Three years ago another fortune came
to him by the death of his aunt, Mrs.
= Fannie A. Hamilton. Each Of these be-
quests seemed to inspire the heir Tyson
to fresh bursts of speed. For at least
dozen years his speed adventures and
the accidents and disasters to life and
property incident to them have kept his
name prominent in the newspapers.
He had been arrested and fined many
times for exceeding speed limits.
One Of his numerous chauffeurs brought
suit against him claiming $4,000
damages for injuries to his nervous
