\ small but highly appreciative audi
ence witnessed the production of the
comedy farce in three acts, "Janc," at
Coburn Hall last Saturday evening by
Frohman's company of actors from New
York. The acting was all that could be
desired, and far superior to most of the
companies that favor Skowhegan with a
visit. The stage setting, however, was
not what one had reason to expect and
detracted not little from the interest
of the piece. Requiring as the piece
did SO little stage effect it is certain that
even with the limited amount of scenery
this hall affords, had the management
that ambition its patrons have reason to
expect. things might have been different.
