"Because She Loved Him So."

On Saturday night March 10, the
Auditorium will again offer farce com
edy as the attraction, but instead Of
skit of the variety type will offer a
more legitimate farce in the visit of
William Gillette's latest success, "Be-
cause She Loved Him So" 1t is not
the title of one of those lovely waltz
songs usually rendered" by spinster
in Virginial white with hands neatly
folded upon the abdomen. 1t Is the
name of new comedy from the
French of Bisson and Leclercq by
William Gillette, and done in England
under the title of 1.-THE Dovecote." AL
though Mr.. Gillette made his version
presumably for America he adapted 1t
to London, for occult reasons into
which it is not necessary to inquire.
Because She Loved Him So is a
farce, but 1t has a not unserious side.
It is the sort of a thing feminine cor
respondents write to the papers about.
1t seems to answer the question, ,"What
shall l do to make hubby love me?" 1t
Is a kind of advice to wife and moth
er, minus the mother. Because She
| Loved Him So" has been styled the
Little Minister of Farce" That dis
tlnctlon being bestowed upon it both
on account of its popularity and the
decided quality of its great success.

"A Country Visitor"

"a Country Visitor" was the attrac-
ton at the Opera House last highland
it drew an audience little above the
average in point of numbers. The play
is rural comedy drama in ofur acts,
and is much better than tn eaverage
play of this kind and was fairly well
presented. Mr.. Harry Green, as the
Country Visitor" being especially
flint. In face in his particular line of
work Mr.. Green has but few equals,
and his portrayal of the character of
Hiram Homer completely captivated
the audience.
Mr.. Frank Wilson is a member of
this company, and essayed the role of
Robert Callington very acceptably
Wilson received the glad hand from
his friends upon his first appearance
and they manifested keen apprecia-
ton of his work throughout.
The specialties introduced in the last
act were above the average, Mr.. Hayes
the bicycle rider, and Mr. Green in a
monologue and songs, being especially
fine.
The company carries good band
and orchestra and puts out a novel
street parade. The company travels
on its own special car, the Country
Visitor which left fer Raleigh this
morning, wher the company shows to-
night.

"The Heart of Chicago"

The railroad scene in "The Heart CT
Chicago" is one of the most complete
efforts at realism ever put on the stage
the engine is seen advancing upon
the audience for ten minutes. 1t
grows from almost an imperceptible
speck on the horizon to an almost full
sized engine when it reaches the foot
lights. A portion of the effect is
gained by cleverly arranged illusion.
1t is impossible to tell where the illus
ion ends and the engine is finally
shown to the audience, begins. Audi

GREAT GRUNDLERS.
Grumbling will cease If Marietta
people will follow this Citi-
zen's Advice.

When the kidneys are sick they
grumble.
You hear them clear through the
back.
You feel them clear through the
body.
They grumble when overturned.
Know how the kidneys gruinble?
It's a simple thing, your back will
tell you.
Backyche is the first grumbling
warning.
The kidneys give it and II you heed
1t not,
Look out for trouble it will surely
come.
Urinary trouble. kidney trouble,
and many mseries.
Doan's Kidney Pills are made for
kidneys only.
They cure every form of kidney i'll.
The experience of Marietta people
proves this.
Here's case in point:
Mr.. +. M. Longley, of 2O6 Putnam
Ave., West Side, ex-Inember of our po-
lice force says: "For five years was
almost constantly suffering from back
ache due to inactive kidneys. Anyone
who has had an attack of this annoy
ing ailment Knows exactly what the
sufferer passes through, but all do not
know bowto get rid of it. From read
ing newspapers and hearing people
speak well OF Doau's Kidney Pills was
induced to try them and procured u
box at w. III. Styer's drug store. / con-
tnued the treatment until was in bet
ter health than had been for at least
five years. Doan's Kidney Pills are a
r.af ody Iof 4 slr, Tod
can heartily recommend them to any
one suffering from disordered kidneys,
and you are at liberty to use my name
as an endorser."

A New Idea.

AT Mercer it has been suggested that
the lights be turned down, after each
act of a performance at the opera
house, so that those who are in the
habit of going out between acts may
be able TO drink from bottle, and
thus avoid annoying others. The eff
feet produced by a suddenly darkened
room, followed by a spontaneous out
burst of the sound which Accompanies
the drawin gof a cork and this in turn
to be followed by a soft gurgling rip
pie, distributed generally throughout
the audience, would of itself be weird
ly eresting.-Oil City Blizzard.

there?"

hind her. "I'd like to see him try to
comprise me."-Tit-Bits

GOOD WORK BEING DONE UNDER THE EFFICIENT TEACHER, P. H. MO- CARTHY.

The good work being done in the North Center school, under the super vision of the efficient teacher, P. H. Mo- Carthy, is shown in the increased attend ance, the average attendance being about 20, while for the few years previous 1t had scarcely averaged eight. It is with pleasure THE BEE prints the following letter and compositions, and we will be glad to hear from the pupils of other schools in town. The letter and conn., positions follow:
 Dear Editor: send you herewith several compositions written by the chil- dren of the North Center district and especially request you to publish one or two Of them, as I am sure the writers would be much pleased to see them in thetr favorite BEE, and it will encourage them to better work. In these compost tions no claim of superiority is made, as you will note by their ages such results could not be expected. The subject giv- en to write about was "Twenty Years Hence," and they had to depend entirely on their own imagination. It is pleasing to zee that most of them treat on the future welfare of Newtown. Perhaps the rising generation would succeed in the present inhabitants are failing in a great measure to do. Yours very truly, TP. H. Mccarthy, teacher.
