Sey- mour exhibited over a hundred bonds ac- cepted by Kelly and which were pro- nounced worthless by Bond Expert New- man. In the majority of where criminals were released on the names of Willlam Gallagher and *‘Mik Flynn, saloon-keepers, were named as sureties. Flynn and Gallagher keep a saloon on Grant avenue and Morton street. Kelly had an “office” in the sa- loon where he has been in the habit of accepting bogus bonds. D. Becker and his brother, Abe, both of whom are sa- loon-keepers, appearad before the Grand Jury and were closely questioned re tive to the straw bond business. It de- veloped at the investigation that the Beckers have been responsible for the release of several criminals on bonds ac- cepted by Kelly. The brothers admitted that they had signed thelr names to.bonds for the re- lease of a number of prisoners for politi- 1 reasons. “It is this way,” declared D. Becker, who conducts a saloon at 5 Mason street. “We a not in business for our health. In every case where I went as surety a bond I did so as a matter of business. When a frequenter of my saloon had the ¢ d to become one of the bondsmen than have him stay in jail over admitted that he “‘went good” r several female denizens of the ten- derloin who were arrested for transgre: ing the law. Charles Lederer, whose name appears | on a number of bonds which were ac- cepted by Clerk Keily, was also closely questioned. He admitted that he was on | friendly te with Kelly and did not hesitate when necessary to ask him to ac cept him as a surety on a bond. Lederer frankly confessed that he was paid for quently receiving as much his nanie to a bond for the hig ices, f as $20 to sigr | release of a woman charged with grand larceny. By dint of inquiry the Grand Jury has arned that in many cases where crim inals have been released the nece ds were not furnished until the following -their temporary discharge from custody. In one Insitance it was shown at a notorfous woman named Flossie O'Brien, who is known as the queen of pickpockets, was_released on an r signed by Clerk Kelly five minutes after she had been arrested. The following morning necessary bonds were fur- I aced on record in the court. gher, W tioned be- acknowledged that fore the Grand Jury 1k bail bonds and he had a number of bl orders of discharge in a desk in his s Joon. As soon as one of his custom was arrested he would have Clerk Kelly make out an order for the friend. He emphatically denlec he was aware that Kelly was in the habit of issuing an order of discharge before the requisite bonds were furnished. At the conclusion of the investigation into the straw bond business the Grand gain took up the cases of Peter Mc- . “the ex-bookkeeper in the office of Superintendent of Streets. After a short investigation they returned two ad. ditional indictments against the disgraced It is understood that the indictments are for forgery in coilecting money from | the city on “dummy’’ warrants. ——e———————— PAlcaza- “In Mizzoura,” Gus Thomas’ suc- cessful play, was presented at the Alca- zar last night and there was scarcely vacant seat. It bids fair to score as great a popularity as it did last September. The simple homely life of the dwellers County, Mo., upheaval in the family circle of the vil- lage blacksmith was well portrayed by the stock company. Ernest Hasting: gave another proof of his versatility Jim Radburn, the Sheriff of the county and scored a pronounced success. He was quiet and effective througho: One of the best bits of character work seen on the Alcazar stage for a long time was the 'Lizbeth Vernon of Bowman. She made a decided hit and was ably seconded by Clarence Montaine as Lave, Charles Bryant as Joe Vernon, | the blacksmith: George P. Webster as Robert Travers, Howard Scott as Colonel Bollinger, Miss Adelalde _Fitzallen_ as Kate Vernon, Miss Marie Howe as Mr. Joe Vernon and Miss Laura Crews as | Em'ly Radburn. The play was well staged. Orpheum. Moung Toon and Moung Chet, the Bur- mese jugglers, who ply their craft with- out the ald of.their hands, are the sensa- tion of the four new turns at the Or- pheum. These gentlemen on the road from Mandalay wear the nativ costume. a bib for the loins, a turbzn and India-ink decorations on the upper part ct the legs—nothing else.

Billy Van, the reformed minstrel, is.the best of the oth- er new-comers, He has a batch of new stories, one of which is suggestive but undeniably clever. Montgomery and Stone repeat the rag songs and dances | and monkey imitations that won them a | hit some time ago, and the Donovans do one of those fixture “Jjosh” dialogues which the woman's face, form and hair are made the butts of the man’s podgy Jocularity. Thz Chutes. To the satisfaction of a large audience | Waldo and Elliot, contortionists, did some wonderfully crooked work hanging to a trapeze at the Chutes last night.

That scene in | the church—where the villain at the | altar in the act of wedding the spotless | heroine when the ceremony is parted in the middle by the entrance of the | other woman and her fatherless child— is played just as advertised. Mr. Kel- does strike his cast-off victim a | | cruel blow on the brow, and the girl | who is about to become his bride utters {a withering “Coward!” The plot and | the main situations remind you for- | cibly of Miss Laura Jean Libby. Mr. David Belasco himself has never sue- | | ceeded in being more Laura Jeanish | | than Clyde Fitch is in his play. But— and hexe comes the difference and the | reason why some 2000 intelllgent play- | goers gave warrh attention to ‘“The !)ln!h and the Flame” last night—Mr. Fitch has set these yellow-back situa | tions to an accompaniment of keen, | smart, American humor. His absurdly | | serious characters are countered by | others that are candidly flippant, im- | pertinent and eynical. These latter con- tribute an almost constant run of spry | comment and raillery. They forestall | you in the gentle business of jeers and | sarcastic laughter. In fact, Mr. Fitch lias written a little audience of his own | in the audi- | torfum a lot of trouble and gives it a lot of merriment. A very ingenious bit ‘ of playwriting. | So I will not venture to take Mr. Fitch's seriousness too seriously. The | villain, who starts out to be| | the very plausible smoothy that you would call by another soon blossoms out in the | conventional colors of malevo- After the pugilistic episode in the church he still pursues the girl and threatens her with the secret of her re. | cently suicided father defalcations; | and when this matter is congenially | | baffled he sadly leaves for Europe, first | ving his name to the woman whom he | has betrayed and their child. It would be too much to ask Mr. Kelc or any | other actor whose personality is a pop- ular fixture, to forego some sort of an | amicable compromise at the end; and anyway this bit of reparation is quite in keeping with the suddennesses that | have preceded it. Indeeed, this L‘ndlng‘ is a gem when you think how much worse Mr. Fitch might have done. He | might have reformed Mr. Kélcey en- | tirely at the twelfth hour and given | s hand an@ forgive- ness. In the present arrangement she does not need it, for the impulsive vouth whose love and warning she had scorned in the earlier scenes is confi- | dently ready and waiting as the last | curtain falls. | And this is not the only forbearance | on the part of the author. He has not clothed the injured lady in black al- paca; and she does not speak of the | fruits of her love as “me-cheild”; and | | the youngster does not invade the altar | ying *“Popper!” The comedy part is really admirable. At times you are reminded in a modest way of Oscar Wilde. The lines glitter | like bright tin pans. There is a cer- | tain modern social swing in the talk at | the ball (adults in children’s costume— | very droll conceit after the mode of | Pinero) at the interrupted wedding, and in fact, in the last act, too. In the lighter characters epigrammatic impe: tinence is given full swing and many of the saliles are memorable. The most of the wit-work falls to a Mrs. Lorri- mer, twice married and divorced and | looking for more. Miss Marion Abbott | has this part, which is quite the catchi- est in the play, and she makes it de-| lightful with her large contralto hu- mor. She was easily the belle of the party last night. Miss Leila Ellis has another part in much the same vein, which she handles successfully, and Miss Winona Shannon gives contrast him Miss Shannon | { | The Power of Storm.

Miss Effie Shannon is not at her most as the interrupted bride. The part re- Quires either less legitimate effort or more out-and-out melodrama. As it is not in Miss Shannon’s temperament to give the latter, she would do better to play with less obvious emotion. Her rendition last night was neither one thing nor the other. It was not strenu- ous enough for melodrama, and it was too artificially cadenced for the oppo- site qualities of repression and sugges- tion. 1 don’t know just how to be just to Mr. Kelcey. His part is very trying. It is too inconsistent even for human nature as we see it off the stage. It has the making of an accomplished villain early in the game, but it peters out woefully as the piece advances. Considering this, you must give the actor credit for making as much out of it as he does. I can think of only orre improvement, and that would be for Mr. Kelcey not to take the audience into his confidence by means of know- ing winks. The lines themselves are quite obvious enough for the densest of us. It is a pity for Herbert Kelcey ever to forget that in a certain line of | varnished parts he is one of the most valuable men on the modern stage. The company is a large one and gen- erally competent, the scenes are in good taste, and altogether the performance has many attractive features. ASHTON STEVENS. Tivo No better example of the versatility of Reginald de Koven and Harry B. Smith can be found than in their latest produc- tion, “The Mandarin,” on this week and doubtless for another week at the Tivoli. The introductory performance of this comic opera was given last night and was received with enthusiasm. A little nerv- ousne; was manifested by the players during the first act, but. on the raf g of the curtain -on the second players and audience alike became enthused and the piece was well rounded out. “The Mandarin” is a Chinese opera, al- though the general entanglement and final unraveling of the plot plainly be- speaks the American author. The story presents a Mandarin of Fuchau, China, who has the misfortune to closely resem- ble the town vagabond, Fan Tan. Fan Tan is the possessor of a beautiful wife, to whom he is devoted; but frequently he leaves his love for brawls that last for a period of days. During one of these brawls and his consequent absence from home the Mandarin passes his humble cottage, and being told of the beauty of the vagabond’s wife decides to woo already his allotted number of wives, twelve, and should he marry another he | would " encroach upon the Tight of the | Emperor, who alone has thirteen in his home circle, and would suffer the penalty | of his life. So theMandarin disguises him- | self as the vagabond and calls upon the | beaut.ful wife of his double, and she, be- lieving he is her husband, to his great | | joy throws herself in his arms. She lhenl | introduces him to_the twins, and puts an iced rag around his head. This is.all very pleasant for him, but unfortunately ‘hls valet leaves his royal robes lying | around, and Fan Tan, when he returns | home, gets into them, is discovered thusly | ‘[b,\' the Mandarin’s guardian and to his| great disgust is carried away to the pal- | |ace to be caressed by the Mandarin's'| | twelve wives and score of children. In the meantime the Mandarin has been ar- | | rested and cast into prison for the vaga- | bond’s sins, and_his wife in searching, for | him finds herself in the palace. where she | announces herself as his wife. This brands | him as the proprietor of thifteen wives, | and as the %}mperor is informed of his | crime by a lover of one of the twelve, he | is cast into prison to await his fate. The Mandarin has also become as serjously entangled and as both are about to be | beheaded_a fourteenth wife of the Em-‘ peror is discovered and he is called upon | to prosecute himself for treason. As this | would mean the death of himself he par- dons all hands and “all live happily ever | afterward.” The libretto is witty and new.
