Mrs. Clara Baldwin Stocker Drops Bracelet from Wrist at Thea ter in Los Angeles Recovering a bracelet valued at $150,000 at Clune’s theater in Los Angeles. Thursday night of last week, after it had fallen from her wrist, Mrs. Clara Baldwin Stocker gave evi dence of being the daughter of “Lucky” Baldwin. The bracelet was found in a pile of waste tickets. The lucky finder, J. A. Lewis, official doorman, gasped when J. McGinley, manager of Mrs. Stocker’s estates, handed him a $100 bill. The reward was providential for Lewis, as his wife has been seriously ill for several weeks. Mrs. Stocker was wearing diamond ornaments worth more than $500,000 when she arrived at the theater to witness the first production this season of the “Barber of Seville.” As she passed through the entrance, one of the links of the bracelet broke and the heavy string of platinum and jewels fell into a heap of discarded ticket envelopes, where is was dis covered very shortly afterward. Although the bracelet, which con tained seventeen five-caret diamonds and many smaller ones, set in plat inum, is ponderously heavy, Mrs. Stocker had not missed it from her collection until it was returned to her. She was wearing also a dog collar valued at $250,000, three dinner rings, valued respectively at $25,000, $15,000 and $8,000, besides numerous smaller jewel-studded ornaments.
