Miss Pauline Barlow had the part of Mary Tudor in the play and Harry Smith the part of Charles Brandon. Arthur Hall played Sir Edwin Caskoden and Miss Frances Stafford was Lady Jane Bolingbroke. Cecil Cole was King Henry VIII and Miss Mary Dunn was Queen Catherine. The costumes were rich and costly and special scenery had been painted. The play will be repeated tomorrow evening.

The Shelby DemocratA telephone message from the scene of the mysterious poisoning of Mr. and Mrs. John Barlow aged respectively seventy-seven and seventy years, received Wednesday, states that Mr. Barlow died Tuesday night at midnight. His wife was found dead the night before when the hired hand came to the house in answer to the ringing of the dinner bell at 8 o’clock. Various theories are advanced, as to what caused the death of these old people. The most plausible of which seems to be that of accidental poisoning. The coroner will hold an inquest today, when a postmortem examination of their remains will occur. It is thought that the analysis of the contents of their stomachs will show with what kind of poison they lost their lives. If they were murdered, what was the motive? They were rich and happy, why commit suicide? Nothing has been missed from the house consequently robbery could not have been at the bottom of the crime. Time may reveal the hidden mystery of the crime. The funeral of both Mr. and Mrs. Barlow will occur tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock.
