Fine Clothes

JOLIET, ILL.,, Sept. 22.--Pris-
oners on the Northern Illinois
penitentiary honor farm have
divided the expensive garments
of Nathan F.. Leopold, jr., and
Richard Loeb among them. Two
months ago, when the prisoners
had q "hunch" that the million
aire nnurderers of Robert Franks
would not be hanged, applica-
tions were filed for the right to
wear their clothes.
Among those who applied for
the garments were George Car
ressi, nineteen-year-old MUIR
derer, from Aurora, and Charles
Guile, young murderer serving
q life term for a Chicago crime.
sCaressi, however, lost, for the
clothes were awarded to Guile
and George Butcher, chauffeurs
for the warden.
Dressed in their new clothes,
the honor convicts cut a swath
and aroused the envy of all
other prisoners. ~

Rams Head PLAYERS.

"A Story of Pierrot." by the Ram S
Head Players will continue through
out the week at the Wardman Par k
Theater.
Following a larger and older tradi-
ton, which includes the figures of
Pierrot and his lady love, sometime IS
called Pierette, sometimes Louisette.
sometimes Josette, through all the
entanglements which two young peo-
pie can achieve when they love each
other, the Rams Head production
presents to Washington second
"Pierrot" Of Robert Bells concep-
ton. Mr. Bell makes of Pierrot a weak
but lovable boy, symbolic of human
frailty. If Peer Gynt" presents not one
mans adventure, but a bit of every
mans adventure, then so does this
histrionic figure Pierrot preach a lit
tie and laugh a little at the human
mob.
Miss Josephine Hutchinson, who is
Louisette, the young milliner. whom
Pierrot loves with distraction and
then deserts after their marriage,
turns from a fairy-like dancing girl
into a fragile, sad-eyed woman. In
her stiff black silks of wifehood and
widowhood she undergoes change
of character which differs from the
first act that presents the wooing and
the happy love between Louisette and
her fiance. Her blended delicacy and
dignity make Louisette quite alive.
Miss Ruth Harrison, the Fifine of the
pantomime, has been clothed by Mr..
Reynolds in a bright cerise gown,
with tiny mitts and slippers to match.
Such a gown could not but prove at
tractive to the masculine eye, but
Miss Harrison fiirts and coquettes in
way that makes the gown the mer-
est background.
Rapidity of action and feeling of
dramatic pause make Miss ELAN Van
Valkenburg's work apparent Miss Van
Valkenburg has had the direction of
this presentation.
