Inspector Says the Trust Has
Stolen More Than
a Million.
Chicago, June 20.—That the gas cor.
poratlon In Chicago—the People’s Gas
Light and Coke Company—has robbed
Chicagoans of nearly 11,500.000 In tho

errors and providing for the return of
all excess charges, Is being drawn. Un-

“At Plney Ridge,” a tale of the Ten
nessee mountains, by David Higgins, Is
the offering of Emma Bunting and as
sociate players this week at the Dyrte.
While It -was not a capacity house
which greeted the company Monday
night, yet It was a thoroughly appre
ciative one, especially after the first
two acts.
At Plney Ridge” Is In four acti
two outside and two Inside scenes—and
the scenic department has fitted the
play up In excellent taste.
Miss Bunting's part Is deeply emo
tional and'requires splendid ability not
to make it gp beyond reason and be
come a ranting melodramatic part,
atfho It has few opportunities until the
third and fourth acts. The fat part Is
In the hands of George Whitaker, and
It suits him exactly.
Tho story begins many years after
tlje war, but Its effects are of the war.
An octoroon Woman has' been Intrusted
during one of the conflicts of the war
with two children, the one a son of an
other octoroon woman and a white
rtmn, the other the son of a rich, plan
tation owner. This latter Is the part
of which Mr. Whitaker makes so much.
Thru a spirit of revenge for some fan
cied wrong, tho .woman leaves the
Vnung white Infant In the mountains
and brings back ns the white boy the
one with the black taint. He grows
to manhood as a white boy and aspires
to the hand of a daughter of one of the
old aristocratic Tennessee bankers. In
the meantime the real white boy, who
has been left a piece of land by his
foster mother, In whose yard he was
left by the octoroon, finds valuable
minernl on the land, and he comes to
civilisation and sells the land—and
falls In love with the daughter of the
Tennesseo aristocrat. The girl returns
his love, and the'octoroon’s real son,
who has been told the real story of his
life, makes It known publicly that the
young man from Plney Ridge la the
pegro-talnted boy. The proof Is so
strong that every one hfca to believe It,
against tbelr Judgment.
That Is a running story of the play,
and Its last two acts abound In thrills
kslore. It Is frankly melodrama, tho
a melodrama without the garish clap
trap which usually passes muster for
a thrill producer.
Every members of the company Is
well cast, tho the part of the daughter.
' yed by Miss Juliette Roberts, might
Intensified In expression and In act
ing In one or two places.
Aside from the work of Mlts Bunt
ing and Mr. Whitaker In the leading
roles, Henry Hicks as Mark Brlarson,
the octoroon’s real son, did excellent
work. His pleading for his life In the
last act was splendid.
Biss Bertha Leigh, as Dagmar, de-
rendition of a thankless part

The play Is handsomely dressed. It
will be presented up Lyric-way all
week nightly, with matinees Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday. ,
The American.
The American theater scored another
big success at the Initial performance
of the week on Monday afternoon. Each
act and the big bill of fine motion pic
tures were greatly enjoyed.
Probably the most entertaining num
ber on the program was, that of Lake
Reynolds and May Lewis, who present,
ed a comedy skit entitled ”Der Fader
Land,” Introducing a series of fine Imi
tations and yodllng songs. This Is
without doubt one of the strongest acts
on this circuit.
Miss Mamie Loeb proved another
strong feature, her singing and dancing
being far above the average, and all
who enjoy this form of entertainment
will do well to see this act.
“The Two Comedy Masons” were
good and filled the need of some real
old-fashioned fun to a frazzle, while
Harry L. Brown, the tenor, was greatly
enjoyed by those who appreciate good
singing. The pictures were exceptlon-
Th*s°entlre bill will be seen with a
complete change of pictures every aft
ernoon and evening this week.
\ The Bonita,
The opening performance of the week
at. the Bonita on Monday proved a de
lightful event to a large and enthusi
astic audience. Not only was the bill
one of the most complete that has been
seen at this house in many weeks, but
In quality It easily eclipsed any pro
gram ever offered at this theater.
Jeanettes, "The Musical Kid.” made
the hit of the evening. Her dainty per
sonality, coupled with one of the best
singing and musical acts that one could
ever expect to see, completely capti
vated her audience. As a violinist she
