FIST FIGHT FEATURES
Big ALIENATION SUIT.
Prominent Attorneys Come To
Blows In Front Of Judge j
Hardin, In Garrard

ouil DiOuSHt Dy thS WilC VI
a well known Garrard county
farmer against the wife of an
other and her mother, charging
alienation of her husbands af-
fections, and verdict for $1,000
was the feature suit Of circuit
court in session in Lancaster last
week.
In the case at action, Mrs.
Willie Hendrickson Calico sued
Mrs. Samantha Hill for alienat-
ing the affections f.her husband,
Ebert Calico, we'll known
young farmer. Mrs. Mary Bogie,
mother of Mrs. Hill, was also
named as a defendant in the case,
and the plaintiff claimed that
Mrs. Bogie had assisted her
daughter in winning the affec-
tions of Calico, and had arranged
matters for their elopement,
which was only prevented at the
last minute by Mr.. Bogie get
ting on" to affairs and stopping
it in short order. <
The case was begun Wednes-
day and lasted through Friday
and was very bitterly fought all
the way. Love letters that pass
ed between Mrs. Hill and young
Calico were read to the jury, and
the whole affair aired in the full
est possible way. After the
Jury had brought in verdict of
5000 damages for Mrs. Calico
against Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Bogie
they made an offer to settle in
full for $4,000 cash and not have
the case appealed to a higher
court. This offer was accepted
and the money paid over.
A secondary feature of the
trial was a one-round battle with
bare fists between Attorneys Joe
E. Robinson, of Lancaster and
Emmett ". Puryear, of Danville.
Robinson, with former Judge L.
L. Walker, was attorney for the
defendants. while Puryear, to-
gether with Attorney John No
land, of Richmond, represented
the plaintiff, who obtained the
big judgment.
Those who saw the physical
between the two well
known attorneys say that the
battle was SO fierce while it last
ed that it took six men to sepa-
rate them. Neither was punis
ed by the court for the side show
they put on. according to the
story as told by several here WI
saw the affair.
Robinson was speaking to the
jury and during the course of his
remarks said that Puryear in
oss-examination of Mrs. Bogie
and Mrs. Hill had been dis
courteous. Puryear Immediately
protested to Judge Hardin for
protection against such remark.
He said that while he was cross
examined vigorously as his duties
required, he had at all times been
courteous, and he requested the
court to compel Robinson to cor
rect such a statement.
Judge Hardin, however, failed
to admonish or correct Robinson
in any way, and after appealing
to the court of justice several
times, Puryear said that if the
court would not give him pro-
lection he would brand the state
ment untrue himself. And he did
SO. Then the fireworks began.
and but for the timely arrival 'of
the reserves on the sidelines, a
knockout might have been re-
corded. So far as can be learn
ed, neither of the distinguished
barristers bears physical marks

"THE CANARY" A REAL HIT
Julia Sanderson and Joseph Cav.
thorn Score at the Forrest

"The Canary" the latest starring
vehicle for Julia Sanderson and Joseph
Cawthorn which opened an engage
ment at the Forrest last night, is mu
sical comedy at its best. 1t is in every
way worthy of its great predecessors in
this style of amusement sponsored by
Charles Dillingham;. 1t is just as gor-
geous, just as opulent. just as diversi-
fed and just as entertaining. The fun
is bubbling. buoyant and bounteous.
The piece stands out from the general
run of musical shows by reason of the
fact that it is particularly fine and re-
fined in n dainty and delicate way.
There is not the slightest suspicion of
coarseness or vulgarity in speech or
situation, or anything offensive to mar
it. Women and children will find it
especially charming, and it will in no
wise seem tame to Mr.. Tired Business
Man. Here is musical comedy that
has real tuucful score, ins tead of the
overabundance of noisy jazz that has
marked most of the offerings of this
kind recently. There is more beauty
and less nudity among the choral assist
ants; wit overbalances horseplay. and
grace shares equally with gymnastics in
the dancing. 1t is sparkling, thoroughly
diverting and superior. 1t is no sur
prise that theatrcgoers elsewhere were
IOath to part with II, the result DefnS
Philadelphia was denied the privilege
of seeing it until more than a year after
its premiere.
There is an intimate suitability OF
the score and lyrics of Ivan Caryll and
Irving Berlin to the book adapted from
the French of Georges Barr and Louis
Verncuil. The work has been thor
oughly Americanized. The music is
lifting. fourishing and beguiling at ap-
propriate times.
Patrons have been treated to so many
forms of musical comedy lately that il
requires artists with a generous spark
of creative genius to make a definite
impression. This, however, is just what
Miss Sandcrson, Mr.. Cawthorn and the
other principals accomplish. Miss San
derson, pretty. sweet and winsome as
ever. sings and dances and wins her
usual favor. She is never hard to look
upon. and with her pleasing personality
she makes the character she assumes
quite irresistible. Indeed, she plays
with greater snap than ever before.
Cawthorn has an infectious humor.
Although he is quiet in his methods

GRANT MITCHELL BACK
Rcereates HlllIard's Role In "A
Prince There Was"

The peculiar genius of George NJ,
COhan was the real feature of the even
ing at the Garrick last night when "a
Prince There Was" revisited Phila-
delphia after years absence.
AS an actual fact, there was little
about the comedy to remind any one
who saw it before, of the version played
by Robert Hilliard. "a Prince There
Was" as it was. gave no indication of
setting the world on fire. 1t was ap-
pealing in spots and quaint in spots,
but when air was said and done, it was
decidedly spotty.
Last night new prince came to
town in the person of Grant Mitchell,
remembered for his delicious Tailor
Made Man" But not only was the
leading role changed the entire play
was almost unrecognizable. but. let it
be said, twenty times ms entertaining
Indeed the last two acts were capital,
and the infusion of the vim and vitality
of George Cohan was especially notice e.
able in the finales of both acts.
Mitchell did not have the opportuni- o.
ties granted him in "a Tailor Made
Man. but he arose to heights of real
comedy in such scenes as those with the
little girl, charmingly played by Marie
Vernon, and in the aforementioned
finale of the second act.
Individual hits were scored by
George Parsons as the friend: A. G..
Andrews as Cricket; Ralph Sipperly as
Short, and Jessie Ralph as Mrs.
prOuty.

QUAINT CHARM IN "DADDIES'

nile Sentimental Comedy

John T.. Hobble has not written
"Daddics" because he had a plot, but
bccnusp he had an idea. The plot is the
least important part of this comedy
of four acts which was put on at the

backed the little play is altogether
quaint in conCcit and charming in de-
vplopmcnt. On it Barrie would have
piyotcd "A most delicious fantasy and
