and Mrs. Walter Ellis. The mother
had b?en cleaning house during the

She was preparing supper, when the

and climbed upen a chair by the open

the little fellow- was thrown outward
through the window, screamins as he
fell.
The only mark he has to show for
the dangerous fall is a slight
bruise on the left side of the face. The

Ihe reporter as he left the home after
an Interview this morning.
The window from which he fell is
approximately 16 feet from the ground,
but the fact that he landed on a newly

lessen the rail and save him from
death.

Dawes. "Her departure was a sort
of mutual affair, desired as much by
Maestro Cledfonte Campaninl as by
herself." However, the story is that
a clerk marked Miss Garden "present"
and singing one night when she was
not present. Her salary was about
$1,800 an appearance, so the directors
floured that she owed them that
amount. It is said they asked her to
appear an extra night and "sing away
the indebtedness." Miss Garden de

was II1 and could not sing; that when
the season closed she demanded a

KITTY GORDON IN CHICAGO.
Jolly plays, those vv-it! laughter and
singing and features that please the
eye and ear and tickle the risibilities,
are what most persons like all the
time, but especially at this season of
the year, and just such a one is com
ing to the Garrick theatre, Chicago,
next Sunday night, when Kitty Gordon
will appear in "Pretty Mrs. Smith," ac
companied with music in which this
lifted English comedienne and bril
liant Tocalist has made her greatest
American hit. In thorough keeping
with the lightness and brightness of
spring Is the entertainment provided
by Miss Gordon in this merry, witty
play with the catchiest of music punc
tuating its gayety. "Pretty Mrs.
Smith" Is not a musical comedy. It
Is Bald to be better; it is a comedy
with music. That means that it is aj
real play, with story and action, hav
ing a musical ornamentation as an
added feature. Oliver Morosco is pre
senting Miss Gordon, and he is one of
the authors of the play. Elmer Harri3
is co-author, and Hairy James wrote
the music. "Pretty Mrs. Smith" has
provided the song hits of the season.
Its tunes are played by all the leading
orchestras In New York, and people
are singing them and dancing to them,
just as all Chicago will be as soon as
they are heard at the Garrick theatre.
"Pretty Mrs. Smith- is bright, snappy,
amusing, tuneful rnd exhilarating. It
was designed to make people merry
and joyous, and it does :o in liberal
measure. Charlotte Greenwood and
Sydney Grant are with Miss Gordon,
and ia "Pretty Mrs. SmiC" they have
won the most pronounced of their suc
cesses. These runmakers were en
gaged by Mr. Morosco direct from the
Winter Garden in New York, where
they had been for thtee seasons. In
every, respect the company is the su
perior of any tha has ever appeared in
a play with singing. It includes Har
rison Hunter, Roy Atwell, Edward
Martindel, James Gleason, Lillian
Tucker, several attractive young wo
men who act as well t- sing and
dance, and the California double quar
tette. For Miss Gordon's engagement
a special summer scale of prices has
beea adopted. Nights and Saturday
matinees the best seats are $1.50,
while at the Wednesday matinee 11
will be charged.
