John Barrymore Tries "A Thief for a Night" on the Dog

in Hammond Last Saturday Night and Wins Out The Talented Ethel's Brother and His Clever Support in an Interesting Vehicle for His Powers.

Hammond people had another oppor- i .tunity to be "first nighters" at a real metropolitan production last Saturday night, when Manager Hankenson staged "A Thief for a Night," the new melodramatic comedy in which John Barrymore has the stellar role, assisted by Miss Alice Brady, who boasts the redoubtable' W. A. Brady as her parent. The production was a great success despite the long entr'acts and the audience,' small as it was, acted tolerantly because it was seeing a splendid show. Barrymore was another stage Raffles, a reckless, devil-may-care young plutocrat, and his betting burglar was perhaps the best thing he ever did. In "A Thief for a Night" Mr. Barrymore plays the part of Robert Edgar Wllloughby Pitt, a wealthy young New Yorker who has just come back from a trip to Eufope. On the return voy age the inresslonable Mr: Pitt fell madly in love with a girl to whom he could get no introduction nor ever speak one word to or even find out her name. At a bachelor dinner in his house after he arrived home Mr. Pitt declares that burglary is a very much overrated profession and that any man of ordinary intelligence could break into a house at night and rob with Impunity. One of his friends challenges his statement, and young Mr. Pitt makes a bet that he will do a nice little job of robbing, capture a souvenir t'o prove his success and get safely away. After we managed, to get in the relief train for Dayton. Throughout the trip Bill was resourceful. He bluffed his way through and where a pass was needed and he didn't have one he made one. And where this didn't work he usually called the fellow opposing us aside and we very quickly got through. We had to stand six hours in a baggage car before the train started. "Five miles from Dayton our fourteen coaches stopped as a washout prevented further headway. Then 127 farm wagons took the food into the city. Warned by Military Here we were stopped several times by the military and once were told that we would be shot sight did we venture inside the guard lines. Finally we managed to reach Col. Zimmerman and got a pass from his as well as his auto. The auto was very shortly confiscated at rifle point when the hospital corps used it to haul a sick woman to the hospital. Col Schaeffer brought back with him his military pass issued by the colonel commanding and President Patterson of the Cash Register company. He also brought back an emergency copy of

his guests are gone Mr. Pitt falls to sleep in his arm chair dreaming of the gin ne met on the voyage home. A( burglar enters his flat and well, if you want to see one of the best stage fights you ever looked at go to the Chicago theater where the piece is now playing and observe Mr. Barrymore and "Spike" Mullins mixing it. Mr. Pitt, after taming his burglar, takes him into his service and starts out with him to win his bet. They unfortunately pick out as the scene of their operations the house of the chief of police. The chief's daughter catches them and Mr. Pitt recognizes in her the wonderful being whom he had loved at first sight on the steamer. There is complication after complication, but why spoil a good story fcy trying to tell It in a few hundred words. Alice Brady as "the girl." made a hit second only to Mr. Barrymore, and Elmer Booth, as "Spike" Mullins, and Frank Sheridan, as the chief of police, gave splendid characterizations. Sheridan especially was beloved of the audience because of his humaneness. He put a tenderness in his acting with the attractive Miss Brady that was as sweet and lovable as it could be. It was a pity that the audience wasn't larger, but it is the old story in Hammond.: The good things are only seen by. a few, .while the "frosts" play to good business, and the energetic Hankensons mourn. the Dayton News which had the following notice: Corfew at S P.

President Riley, expressed himself this morning as more than pleased with the result of the club's efforts to raise money for the sufferer. "I am proud of Indiana Harbor and East Chicago and of their workmen. In many Instances the money included in these funds, was from men who could 111 afford to take from their small earn- " Ings, In cases where they had large families to support. From such It was just as generous to give ten cents as from others, who earn more and have fewer dependant upon them, to give ten dollars. But so far as I have heard the money was most cheerfully given." The mills and factories, banks etc have also come nobly to the front in this emergency. By tonight I expect to have the amount which was raised at every plant and bank and the other places where subscriptions were started, and these may be hed for publication tomorrow."
