ALIAS JIMMY
jy
ACT I.
Warden’s Office, Sing Sing Prison.
“Blinky” Davis, the Forger, takes a check for $5.00
signed by Lieut.-Gov. Fay and promptly “raises” the
amoynt to $50,000.
The Warden—“You are a wonder, Blink. Oh,
Governor, you signed this check for $5, I believe.
(Hands check to him)
And then the Lieut.-Gov. “turned white as a
ghost.” No wonder! Almost any man will turn pale
when first he learns how easily his checks
can be “raised.” It is dangerous to sign any check
unless you stamp it with the “PROTECTOGRAPH,”
Like this
N.
fiyui It
W. Todd ^ Company
The “PROTECTOGRAPH” is the ONLY form of
check protection that has stood the test of time. For
over ten years it has protected the biggest bank ac
counts in the WTorld, and not a Dollar has ever been
lost on any check thus protected.
“PROTECTOGRAPH” is the machine used and
endorsed by nine-tenths of all the leading Banks, Busi-
ness-houses, U. S. Treasury, etc Over 110,000 in use.
Youncheck can be “raised” and it does not take a
“Blinky Davis” to do it either. If skeptical, just send
one to us.

MUSEME^TS
•‘Alias Jimmy Valtntlno”—Tonight
The first appearance here of Ed
mund Elton In ‘Allas Jimmy Valentine,"
at the Academy of Music tonight, will
doubllesg prove one of the season’s
beat offerings.
■‘Alias Jimmy Valentine” as many
■will remember ^as written by Paul
Armstrong, the theme being elaborat
ed from a short story, ' A Retrieved
Keformation," by the late O. Henry. It
was presented for two entire seasons
in A’ew York city at Walack’iTtheatre,
where crowded houses were the rule
throughout the ewire metropolitan en-
ragement,
"Alias Jimmy Valentine” Is under
•he management of Messrs. Llebler &
Co., which, in itself, assures Charlotte
playgoers of a first class play, cast
and scenic production.
! hefe has been a good advance sale,
and a large audience will most likely
see this sterling play here.
The action of thep lay includes a
check-raising Incident, the first time,
so far as we know, that the "black
nrt" has been featured in legitimate
drama. In act three is shown how
checks can bep revented from be
ing "raised” by the use of check pro
tector called the "protectograph."
"Beverly of Graustark.”
Nearly every one must have read
George Barr McCutcheon's fascinating
novel "Beverly of Graustark" as the
»ale of the bcwk has exceeded half a
niililon copies, and the publishers es
timate that 25 people read every cloth
bound book is probably very nearly cor
rect. Undoubtedly all who have read
the story have formed a mental pic
ture of Beverley Calhoun, the Ameri
can girl who visits Graustark and suc
ceeds in upsetting the traditions and
formalities surrounding a European
court of royalty, consequently, when
A. G. Delamatcr and William Norris,
who produced Beverly" as a play look
ed about for an actress to interpret the
part, it was no easy matter to pro
cure one wl:o would not only look like
the "Beverly” of Mr.s McCutchon’
story and Harrison Fisher’s famous
portrait of her, but who would also
be sufRciently experienced and versa
tile to play this extremely diflflcult role.
However, it is the concensus of opin
ion among the dramatic critics that
they have found the ideal ‘‘Beverly’* in
Irene Warfield, who is at present play
ing the part. Miss Warfield is young,
beautiful and extremely talented. Her
recent engagements have been as lead
ing lady with Nat Goodwin in his ex
tensive repertoire and with Cyril
Scott in the original New York pro
duction of "The Prince Chap." "Bev
erly" will be seen at the Academy of
Music next Tuesday, matinee and
night.
How Titles are Selected.
The dubbing of plays has become an
art with the big theatrical managers,
and It is Interesting to know how
*‘Miss Nobody from Starland" came by
that title. Mort H. Singer, the father
of that production, had raked his brain
in an effort to secure a suitable and,
catching title for the newvmanuscript.
The authors submitted several titles,
all of which were found wanting.
"W’hy not call It ‘Miss Somebody
from Somewhere?’" said Will Singer.
Select a name from one of your
stars,’’ suggested Will Hough, one of
the authors.
"Call it 'Miss Somebody from Star
land’,’’ said Frank Adams, the other au
thor. '
"We’ll call it ‘Miss Nobody from
Starland’,’’ decided Mort H. Singer,
promptly. And there you have it, and
the world knows what a success it has
proven. Mr. Singer is starring Olive
Vail Id the play.

Bill of Lading
White Man Giving Names oj
Stokes and Stencill, Tried to
Work Various Cotton Firms
in the City Yesterday-Bear•
ing Tuesday Morning.
l/jcked behind the bars today at
the police station Is a white man of
about 50 or 60 years of age, who gave
his name as John Stencill of Estelle,
S. C., to the police, and as John Stapes
to Sanders & Orr, cotton merchants,
yesterday on whom he tried to forge
a bill of lading for three bales (rf cot
ton. He also tried the trick on O. P.
Heath & Co. and on Watson & Allen.
He bungled the job, however, and
Sergeant Youngblood and Officer Earn
hardt arrested him.
He first went to Sanders & Orr with
a bill ot lading representing that he
had three bales of cotton being ship
ped from Fort Mill, S. C. Sanders &
Orr, however, did not advance him any
money and he tore up the bill of lading
he had presented to them. Later he
went to O. P. Heath & Co. with an
other bill of lading ^and Mr. Heath of
the firm told him be was not buying
any cotton just then but would en
dorse the paper for him. He then
went to Watson & Allen and wanted
to have the sum of fifty dollars ad
vanced on the bill of lading, Mr. Wat
son agreeing to do this if the bearer
w'ould bring forward someone to prop
erly identify him.
’The bearer of the paper stated that
he would get Mr. Simpson at the
Gem restaurant to identify him and
went out as if to find Mr. Simpson. He
soon came back, however, and said
Mr. Simpson was busy, also asking Mr.
Watson what he (Mr. Watson) Intend
ed doing about it. Mr. W'atson told
him to get someone else if he couldn’t
get Mr. Simpson. Mr. Watson saw a
man from Fort Mill on the street whom
he knew and asked Stencill why he
couldn’t get him to Identify him, but
Stencill said he didn’t know him. Mr.
Watson began to ge suspicious and
calling to the Fort Mill citizen, men
tioned above, whom he knew, he asked
the name of the station agent at Fort
Mill. He was told that the agent
there was named Whitesides. The
bill of laden had the name Miller sign
ed to it.

Tampa, Fla.—Mrs. E. C. Coram, of

very weak and worn o\it from womanly
troubles. My husband bought me two
bottles of Cardul to take as a tonic,
and from the first day, it seemed to
me I felt its good effects. By the
time I had used the two bottles, I felt
and looked like a new woman.
#
Some time later, I got my feet wet at
the wrong time, ant I turned to Cardui
to remedy the mischief done.
Before I had taken one bottle. It
gave me the needed relief.
I gave the rest to a friend, for her
daughter, who was suffering with sim
ilar troubles, and it ‘cured her.
Cardui haa had a most wonderful
curative effect upon me. I am now
59 years of age, and feelin* well. I
constantly praise Cardui to all my sick
friends. It is a wonderful remedy.”

NORTH CAROLINA GENIUS
REPRESENTED AT ACADEMY
By Associated Press.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 17,—The Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers will
refuse to pay an insurance policy of
$1,500 on the life of John Quinn, whose
widow is in the county jail charged
with the responsibilty of his death.
OAcials of the organization inform
ed James Mooney of the Kensington
police station yesterday that this ac
tion had been taken because of a
clause in the by-laws of the organiza
tion which states that the money will
not be paid in cases where the benefi-
icary is supposed to be responsible for
the death.
Two former boarders of the Quinn
household who are now in Chattanooga
Tenn., were visited by Detective
James Cafferty. It was stated they
will be compelled to come to Chicago
to testify before the grand jury.
Mayor and Mrs. C. A. Bland win

York. They will be absent from the
city for about a week. Mr. Bland is
