Show LUCY GATES LOSES JEWELS AT THEATER. Salt Lake, May 16 During a dress rehearsal of "Faust" at the Salt Lake theater last night Miss Lucy Gates was robbed of a jewel case filled with brilliants set In silver and Miss Florence Flor-ence Summerhays also lost a ring set with a genuine Egyptian scarab. Tho Jewels were taken from the dressing rooms of tho theator while tho singers were on the stage, it Is bolieved. Tho brilliants stolen from Miss Gates wero of unusual value to tho famous Utah prima Donna, owing to the fact that they( wero gifts she .received .re-ceived while singing In Germany. She brought them to Amorlca aftor the, war broke out, and In order to get them out of tho country It was necessary neces-sary for her to conceal them inside of a violin owned by Miss Romania Hyde, who came home from Germany with Miss Gates. The only possible ctow to the robbery rob-bery is tho fact that a suspicious looking look-ing negro was seonioitering about the theater last night, and during the afternoon af-ternoon two men came to the theater and applied for work. The pollco aro working on the case. |
