Two complaints of the operation of
a slick sneak thief IN downtown of
fices were filed at the police station

loss.

building, complained of the operations
of possibly the same individual He

REPORTED THEFT
Of 225 BUF FALO
N|CkELS TUESDAY

Antonio Bora, whose place of bust
ness is at 219 East Intendencia street,
complained to the, police department
Wednesday morning that he had been
robbed of $1125, and that he sus-
pected little Italian boy who had
been making his home with him, of
being the guilty party. The boy was
sought by the police, and Special Off
GER Bobe learned that a lad answer
ing the description had purchased
ticket the night before, for a city on
the gulf coast. A telegram was hur-
rled to the chief of police there to eff
feet his arrest upon arrival. Nothing,
however, in the shape of advices had
been received up to late last night.
Bora, an ice cream manufacturer
and retailer, learned from the papers
week or more ago that the Buffalo"
nickel was worth more than the face
value on account of the copper in each
of them, and, it was said, had decided
to get a collection of them. He was
doing well, for when the sneak theft
relieved him of the savings, the in
dividual, whoever he was, carried
away total of 225 nickels of the
Buffalo" type. That made up an
even SLIPS.
The belief that the boy suspected
was the one who snatched the nickeIs
was made stronger when it was
learned in the afternoon that the rail-
road ticket was bought with nickels
of the type making up Borza's saw
ings.

the United States civil service board,
last night received letter from Dis
trict Secretary T. G. Shaw, announ-
cling that the examination which had
been scheduled for October 8, at Pen
sacola, had been called off. Mr.. Bailey
was asked to announce such a fact
for the benefit of those applicants

The civil service board had an

pointment to the position of oiler, a
position vacant on the government
steamer Poe, of the quartermaster

it is thought that, in case the vacancy
still existed, the examination would
take place at Panama.

Floridatown, Sept. 27.-This vii
lage has been fast forging to the
front in public notice during the past
few weeks. Ever since the big bridge

partment sustained serious injuries
Wednesday afternoon when his auto

incline in the road.
He was badly bruised, and severely
burned by the steamfng water from
the radiator which when the car turn
ed over was thrown over the occu-
pant. Parts of the automobile fell on
the officer, and bruised him to a great
extent and he was taken to his home
where from last reports he was rest
ing easily.
4 party composed of Mayor Hin
richs, and Commissioners Pou and
Johnson and Deputy Cusachs arrived
on the scene shortly after the accident
and brought the man to Pensacola.
Turnkey Nichols who was also in the
party brought the wrecked machine to
the city, after several men had as
sisted him in righting it.
While the automobile was almost
completely wrecked it ran to the city
on its own motive power, and was
taken to one of the garages in the
city. The tonneau was split in two
parts, and the body was torn off. all
metal parts were crushed and bent
beyond recognition.

TITS fun to write about plays, but
much less enjoyable to describe
acting That is probably due to the
fact that the public may take the re-
viewers word for the merits Of play
but it is much less ready TO listen when
he begins TO describe the players, par
ticularly if these players are stars. The
rublic knows John Drew, Maude Adams,
L. H. Sothern and the rest too well to
pay any attention to what may be
written about them now.
Because Of this fact we are constant
ly tempted to say that the star, whoever
lie or she may be, is of no consequence
whatever. and that much the best act
ing is done by the newcomer TO Broad

Of few seasons Of theatrical observa-
ton, the great American drama will
not be written until some author fash
ions a play which opens in barroom,
develops in an opium den and ends in
brothel. The observation is intended
seriously. We think the most effective
acts we have seen this season are the
first Of "Mr. Antonio" laid in Tugs

a rTER watching the performance Of
Il "The Magical City" at the Palace
last week we are about convinced that
free verse is not a good medium for
dramatic dialogue. In reading the
play one is struck with the fact that
Zoe Atkins has impaired degree of
rhythm TO the lines which she has
penned, but in listening to these lines
spoken in the theatre we heard either
a very choppy prose or an overaccent-
uated verse beat
Everybody knows that only n few
actors can speak blank verse well, and
free verse, with its more elusive
meters, presents greater difficulties.
or course, it can be done, but it is
medium for small theatres and stunt
plays.
"The Magical City" by the way. was
not very well played at the Palace. but
1t is BY no means good drama. The
long dialogue between Petronelle and
the maid and between Petronelle and
the poet reads delightfully."-, but no
sooner Is the piece put on the stage
than 1t becomes dull. In the playing
nothing matters until Rudolph enters,
and his arrival is long delayed.
There is an excellent lesson in "The
Magical City" for playwrichts other
than free verse ones. The play illus
trates the utter futilty Of slang in
cptly used. Anybody who saw Common
Clay" knows that the rather CHEAP
third act was much embelished by the
authors accurate use Of slang. But IL
must be fresh slang. Not even a dead
OYSTER is quite so dead as discarded
phrase. We remember the grief and
amazement which an American audi /
cnce manifested this season when Mar
got Kelly, OF "A Little Bit of Fluff"
said You'll get it where the chicken /
caught the axe" Zoe Akins's prize bad
line is, But take it from me, kiddo."
Take IL from me" is stale these twelve |
months. and "kiddo" never existed. !
Any author who wants 10 SAVIOR his
plays with slang should order his
phrases left fresh at the doorstep early
