4 CANTONGFFGALS TO START AGAN Will Go Over Evel"y Step of Mellett Murder Inquiry to Find Leoopholes. lated Press. , Ohio, July 27.—Canton’s . already paraded before the Police Department in its investi- gation of the murder of Don R. Mel- lett, today again will pass in review as nearly as it can be mustered. Heads of the investigation announced early today that Acting Chief of Po- lice Earl Hexamer will start all over with a quizzing of the known leaders and their tinues, completely disre- garding the testimony previously taken by S. A. Lengel, suspended po- lice chief. Meanwhile the return of Ora Slater, Cincinnati detective, heading the in- vestigators on the trail of the slayers, is awaited. Slater departed quickly and my ri r “a distant city” to interrog: have knowledge of the vice ring’s sup- posed plot to assassinate Mellett be- cause of his strong editorial and per- sonal stand against commercialized vice and corrupt politics. Letters Give Information. At Slater's headquarters it was hoped that the person who vesterday furnished the investigators with marked letters would make himself known. Valuable information was contained in the mysterious letters. The investigators said that absolute protection was ‘guaranteed” the in- formant if he would further help in the inquiry. The anonymous letters were marked similarly with torn c at the underworld is beginning to fear some retaliation for any informa- it ha stigators was s ast night when one of the ‘women “the jungles” who was questioned, asked investigation head- quarters for police protection from a man around her quarters with The investigators dis- patched a patrolman to her address to keep a vigil.

LOS ANGELES RETURNS. Dirigible Back at Hangar After Sesqui Flight. LAKEHURST, N. J., July 27 (P).— Returning from a flight that carried v York and over the Sesqui- nds at _Philadelphia, the vy dirigible Los Angeles reached her hangar at 8 o'clock last night. Lieut. Comdr. C. E. Rosendahl, flight commander, expressed satisfac- NATIONAL—“Puppy Love.” It must be the Ann Nichols’ magic that makes audiences like such shows as “Puppy Love,” the pléce that zig- zags its way across the stage of the National Theater this week. There is no rhyme and very little reason to “Puppy Love,” ad yet every ome present last night found huge enjoy- ment in_the offering by Dorothy Tierney, Billy Phelps, et al. Every- body laughed, and laughed frequently. The theme of “Puppy Love” is a homely thing, dealing with the love affair of a girl of 16 and an erratic marshmallow buyer of 20 in the fore- ground, and_the cardiacal tremblors of several adult couples in the back- ground. The girl, played by Dorothy Tier- ney, is dead set on marrying the boy, played by Billy Phelps.

There are two great fears in the mother’s life, first, that her daugh- ter will marry, and second, that she, herself, will not. It makes the poor, beautiful lady quite hysterical most of the time. To add to the complications, an aunt, who is out to reform the town, and an uncle, who contributes to the wel- fare of the bootleggers, hire the young man as a chauffeur unknown to the glirl's mamma, when the latter goes to a houseboat’ party to cinch’ her en- gagement to a handsome man-about- town. By the time the mother returns, the boy and girl are ready to elope, aided and abetted by the family maid and her beau—a comical garageman. Everything goes wrong just at this point, and the elopement is frustrated. In the third act, the older women get bibulous, and a quarrel ensues between the girl’s mother and her sister, which is settled to the satis- fotion of every one by the comical garageman, who also happens to be a justice of the peace. and competent to marry the young couple, as they hoped, and the older couple, as they wished. The complications come thick and fast, and the situations de- light the audience. Miss Tierney is exceptionally fine in the role originally played by Vivian Martin, and the same can be saild for Phelps in the part of the voung lover. Rhea Diveley is prop- erly hysterical and beautiful as the mother, and Mrs. Hibbard is very good as the mald, who is “hired he][: treated as a member of the family. Charles Hempden, who hasn’t missed fire in any of the Natlonal plays this season, adds another to his record, as the garage owner. Percy Winter, as his inebriate conferee, also scores. Romaine Callendar plays Arthur Merk, the feminist male, who con- tinually tries to steal the girl from the man of her heart. The role is spotty with comedy, and where he gets a chance Mr. Callendar makes it glisten, l‘f}vel,\'n Nichols, a sister of the producer, plays & small part, and does it well, and John Warner matches his limited opportunities as the man-about-town who finally mar- ries the hysterical mother. Henrletta Grahame is fine as Mrs. Sylvanus Pollard, the reformer, who gets - delightfully inebriated in the third act. “puppy Love” is better than when it opened here a year ago, and though it is hard to say just why, a large audience last night seemed thorough- 1y to enjoy it. HOWARD—"Go Get "Em.” The Howard started a merry week last night with Henry Dru.E{e and Fthel Walker in “Go Get 'Em,” one of those symposiums of blues, jazz and Charleston that make the welkin ring and the rafters rattle, largely due to Drake's Cyclone Jazz Band, featuring Gus Akins, a wonderful trumpet play- er, and an octoroon chorus exemplify- ing perpetual motion. Drake is easily the star of the show, but he has able assistants in Ethel Walker, Babe Mack, Sambo Reld, Robert Wade, Clifton Drake, Jimmy Basket, Eddie Johnson, William. Mitchell, Claude Collins and Sam Robinson, who get over the footlights everything from the moan of the blues to the dash of America’s latest athletic dance, with songs for laugh- ter and songs for tears thrown in for good measure.
