1t is gratifying to know that the legiti-
mate drama still has hold on our people.
This fact was eyinced on Saturday eve
ming by the good attendance at Coburn
Hall to witness Jane Eyre as produced
by Charlotte Thompson and company.
We have seen better Jane Eyre than
Miss Thompson was, but have never seen
better company throughout than was
here Saturday night The support was
unusually good the star being supported
by no less an actor than Geo +. Lerock as
Lord Rochester. A few more such per
formanccs would do Skowhegan no harm
and might tend to awaken fresh delight
in the legitimate drama.
