 The special train to Willimantic lal evening was well filled with people, mostl from Monson and Stafford. The train SC vice was as near perfect as could be, rul ming on schedule time, and being, as pron ised, well offered, so that passengers rod in luxurious quiet. There was no prom nading through the cars by those who loy to be called toughs, but who have the goo sense to wilt when faced by law in ster majesty, and who in this instance reluctan ly yielded to the requirement to ''aock themselves" in separate car. The pla, dream, is a combination of farce, allegol and ballet, with traces of divers other il eredients, 8 creation by and for Dixe, whose name draws the crowd. If langl ter creates fat, the engine of the retarniu train must have noted an increase in tf tonnage of the train on the return tril The music, the farcical situations, the tal Ieaux and the bits of "poetry of motion were all fine. The majority of the Staffol people would have preferred drama equal merit, but Dixey's Ages stand near the head of its class, and Manag Gray has honored all his pledges.
