The next important amateur pro-
duction to be staged by local talent
for the edification of the amusement
public will be the play to be pre-
sented at Augusta City Hall on the
night of Armistice Day, next We'd
nesday, November Il. under the aus
pices of the James Fitzgerald post,
American Legion as part of their
program in observance of the
seventh anniversary of the cessation
of hostilities on the Western front.
The vehicle of the Legion players
this wear Will be the big Broadway
success of two seasons ago, THE
First Year." which was produced
by John Golden and Winchell
Smith. The cast includes probably
one of the strongest aggregations of
Augusta amateur Thespians ever as
sembled in one play, and will be
headed by James Comedian, who is
directing the staging of the show.
Besides Mr.. Comedian, who Will
play the role of Tommy Tucker"
an industrious but dispassionate and
prosaic' small town swain, the play
will provide splendid opportunity for
the versatility of Miss Dorothy
Stone, who will be seen opposite Mr..
Comedian as Grace Livingston, who
later becomes Mrs. Tommy Tucker,
and about whom centers the swift
action and comedy of the play. Miss
Stone, who has a long record of sue
cesses in productions by Augusta or
carnations, will have opportunity
for the display of real historic abil-
itv. as her role in 1.-The First Year"
is highly dramatic. which incident
ally is a type of acting, which will
be new to her, but in which she
probably will score the greatest sue
cess of her career in amateur thea
tricals.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Livingston,
parents of Tommy's sweetheart, will
be played by Arthur S. Merrill and
Miss Harriet V. Enright. Mr.. and
Mrs. Barstow, a pair of wise crack
ers," who inject considerable of the
comedy strain into the great Frank
Craven success, will be characterized
by George Martin and Miss Frances
Faulkner. Don Metcalf will be seen
in probably the most active and diff
ficult role of the many in which he
has appeared successfully on Aui-
gusta stages. when he plays the
Doctor" who is the confident of
all other characters in the comedy
of first year married life.
The part of Dick Loring, romant-
ic young engineer, who also seeks to
win the heart and hand of the Llv-
ingston daughter, will be interpret
ed by George A. J. Froberger, and
in this young amateur the Augusta
audience will discover a new lumln-
airy of the amateur constellation.
Miss Anne Faulkner, who has sew
eral times scored individually in
character roles Will have every OPP
portunity in the Legion show of
Armistice night as she will be cast
as Hattie" the well meaning but
laundering negro maid.
Besides the two act comedy drama,
the Armistice evening entertainment
at City Hall will include the seventh
annual Armistice Ball. at which
probably one of the record dance
crowds of the season will enjoy the
order of dance numbers with music
by Douglas. Tickets for the Legion
show are now in the hands of men,
bers of the James Fitzgerald post
and are finding ready sale which in
dicates q big house next Wednesday
evening.

Bandit Anderson
Was Member of
Noble Danish Family

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 0.-(AP)-
The veil of mystery that shrouded
the real identity Of Dutch" Ander-
son, slayer. bank robber and des-
perado, whose career was ended by
a bullet from his own gun in Muske-
gon, Mich, last Saturday, was pierre
ed today.
In q copyrighted story, the Roch-
ester Journal and the Post Express
prints the life history of the bandit,
as given by William j. Baker, an
attorney of this city and to whom
the police of the Michigan city have
turned for advice, now that the cur
tain has fallen on one of the amaZ-
ing crime dramas of America. The
records at Atlanta Federal prison
gave the name of Mr.. Baker as the
person to be called in case of death.
While the bullet riddled body of
George Dutch" Anderson lies in the
morgue at Muskegon-it probably
will be buried in that city at the
direction of Mr.. Baker-a widowed
mother waits patiently in Denmark
for another letter from the boy she
thinks Is prospecting in business in
this country. That letter never will
come.
And to the Rochester attorney
IdiiS lHe ioI VI DledhiHS the Sdu
news.
Madame Won Teller, representative
of noble Danish family, never
knew that her son, Ivan Dahl Won
Teller and Dutch" Anderson, band
it, safe blower and desperate, were
one and the same.
Mr.. Baker said:
She does not know and l hope
she never will know.
mo matter what others may say
about Anderson's zeal name being
Brown or Heinz or any of many
other aliases he sues, the fixing his
birthplace was st. Louis or any
American city, the fact remains
and 1 can vouch for its authenticity
that he was born in Denmark and
christened Ivan Dahl Won Teller.
"At the age Of 20 he ran away
from home and came to America.
With the lid off it was not long be-
fore he fell in with criminals of var
ious kinds, and soon his genius for
crime began to assert itself. From
petty crimes he soon became a mem
Der Of larger 'mobs' and 1t was not
many years before he found himself
a leader in the circle of those who
lived by pitting their intelligence
against that of the police for big
stakes.
I'm his Bertillon pictures, there is
an unmistakable sneer in the down
ward drawn corner of his mouth. AL
though even among the police he was
always characterized as the gentle
man crook he himself frankly adj
mitted a vicious hatred against or
ganiZed society.
'"This he attributed to an expert
ence in South Carolina, when he was
convicted of a crime because. as he
would have phrased it. there was
no one else to hang it on" and sent
to one of the turpentine camps oper-
ated by convict labor"

Firemen Respond To Calls
From Outlying District

Two telephone alarms late Thurs
day afternoon called the chemical
truck from the Hartford fire station
for minor fires in the outlying dis
tricts of the city. The first was at
455 and took the men about three
and a half miles out on the Church
hill road for a chimney fire at the
house of a man named Gilley. Three
pony chemicals were used and the
house was not damaged. At $40 they
were called to the Townsend road,
where a grass fire was raging near
the Catholic cemetery. Before it was
eKtinguished it had covered about six
acres. This was taken care of with
the aid of brooms and shovels.
