''Prince Pro Tem.''
Prince Pro Ten, with its witty say
ings, bright, catchy music, fine singing
and good dancing, handsome costumes
and scenery, and pretty girls as well as
good looking men, made great hit at the
Opera house, last evening. It's story is
told by the following argument:
The action of prince Pro TEN" is in
Fogia, where the laws were framed by Old
Fogi, and could only be changed by him
and his descendants. The Sovereign Prince
is responsible, and suffers penalties for
all crimes, and is deposed when Justice
decides a capital crime has been commit
ted. Upon his birthday the prince is re-
li6ked from all duties and penalties of his
position, and is allowed further freedom
for go days, If he can find person to act
as g Prince Pro Tenn
OF the work of the actors little reed be
said; it spoke for itself. Fred Lennox as
Tommy Tompkins was favorite with the
audience from the moment he first ap-
pearcd, and Miss Josie Sadler as Wild
Rosy did her difficult part to the Queens
taste, being just "untamed and healthy
enough to suit all.
Mr.. Harry Edgerly, who has been
nursing an injured knee for some
days, handled that member in n
way that deceived many into thinking
that it was part of his business. He
wishes it was only that. His good acting
and very comical song, "Mike McCarthy's
Wake, caught the house. His injured
knee ncccssitated emitting all dancing.
The singing and dancing of Miss Jessie
Bradbury, was, the one, good, and the
latter, easy and graceful. Miss Davis as
Florita, the flower girl, sang very sweetly.
The other characters were taken to perfec
ton.
The singing of the Fogian Quartet and
other special musical features introduced
were all good
1t is not to be wondered at that @ Prince
Pro Tenn" had such a successful run at
Boston, for it is success as a merry
maker

Many of the views represent Maine farms
