full melodrama of the roaring forties
of New York, opened last night at the
Shubert .Belasco There is no misno-
mer in describing the play as melo-
drama, and the thrills lie in gunplay
but the mirth is confined to a few
lines of underworld jargon and what
we have come to understand as wise
cracks" between two ladies of leisure.
The curtain rises on preparations for
the wedding of the daughter of an
aristocratic New York family to the
only son of another just as aristo
cratic family, but the preparations are
rudely jolted by discovery, first, that
the groom is fearfully drunk, and
second. that during the preceding
evening he has been made unbeknoWn

gang which has tied him tightly

matrimony with one Rose Donohue,

predica ment; the suual procedure to be
expected in fiction is q wrathful father

inheriting his repentant son buys off
the woman, has the marriage annulled
and takes the son back to his arms.
But in Playing the Game" our hero
decides to stick it out and determines
to make the best of a bad bargain
of his own making. In SO doing, he
wins the heart of his temptress and
she wins his. All of this requires two

Two Hold Up Cashier and Make Their Es- cape With Loot Es6- mated at 5000.
Customer Gives Alarm to Constables When Men
 Pass Him as He Enters
Especial to tho Herald)


 southington. June 22.-Held up in the teller's cage at the point of revolver, Raymond c. Olson, cashier of the Plantsville National bank on West Main street. Plantsville, was forced to stand by while two bandits took approximately 5000 out of the cash drawer and made their escape in an automobile in the direction Of Bristol about 1880 o'clock this aft crnoon.
 Olson and Minnie Emslie, a bank employe. were alone in the bank when man entered and preferred the cashier $1O bill with the re- quest that he change 1t. Reaching into the drawer. Olson produced the money and was about to pass it through the window when he found himself facing the barrel of an auto matic pistol. Hands up," the bandit ordered and Olson complied. In ap instant, another bandit made his way about the cage and kicked in the side door. The men shielded their faces by pulling down their headpieces, one of them having cap and the other straw hat, ac- cording to Olson. One of them grabbed the money and as they kept Olson covered. they dashed out of the door and running about zoo yards along the street, leaped into an automobile and made their es- cape.
 Olson gave the alarm and two men who were passing the bank and had seen the bandits running toward the car helped spread 1t. The passersby had no knowledge of the holdup as they passed. ano failed to note the registration o, the car. Mir. Olson estimated that about $2,000 was taken although he did not know definitely.
 The automobile in which the thieves fled was found later this afternoon near Grannis' pond. south of Lake Compounce. It was discovered by Detective Sergeant Daniel J. McGiIlicuddy of the 1 Bristol police department and Pa trolman James Burns. They notified the Southington police and 1t is thought probable that the state police will join in man hunt in the woods. Authorities armed with riot guns are in pursuit.
 Olson, being caught unawares had no chance to reach for his own re- volver, which was on the till. The bandits, only one of whom had a 1 revolver, ordered him to walk back , ward and open the door of the safe where bag containing $200 in sil- yer was kept A large amount Of money kept as reserve fund was overlooked. The bandits then or dered Olson to lie down on the floor I
