The next attraction at the Opera House
will be Mr Frank Owen, the peculiar char
acter comedian, as Old Ninny Noggins in
The Village Fool. 1t is not farce comedy.
but is as funny as any play you have ever
seen. 1t is not melodrama, but is full OF
strong and most novel situations 1t is not
sensational, yet no more interesting or strlk-
ing plot or story has ever been presented,
In short, it is the best rural comedy drama
of the day 1t plays simple melody on the
heart strings of humanity, bringing you IN
close touch with characters as you really
find them, and is play that will make you
feel better for having seen it. The date is
Oct. 18th.

ders have been received giving the winter

trail A. j. Morrison is baggage master on
the Belfast passenger train in place of
John McTaggart, deceased, and A. n. John
son of Winthrop is to be brakeman. The
fall schedule of trains on the Maine Central

said that the arrangement will be about the
same as that in effect last fall, except that

of No. 3, as at present, and No. IL VIII be
run as a local.
THELMA. The dramatZatiOn of Marie
Corellis popular novel by Charles W. Chase
is now in its third year in play form, and it
has met with pronounced favor all over the
country The cast that will be seen at the
| Belfast Opera House Wednesday evening,
Oct 14th, is headed by Ethel Brandon as
Thelma, and Mr.. Chase as the Viking, with
good support and a thoroughly equipped or
ganization in scenery, properties and cos
tunes. Thelma is known far and near as the
pest VI dll MlSS lOleiiI popuioi hoNCio3
and every woman sympathizes with and
loves the character of the heroine; in fact
she appeals SO strongly to womanly hearts
that there have been over five thousand
children named Thelma after Miss Corelli S
famous character in the United States dur
ing the past ten years. Mr. Chase has made
the Viking very strong and interesting
character, bringing in the idea of the old
Morse mythology, which teaches that just
| before death claims one of this race beauti-
full Valkyrie maiden sent by Odin appears
| in thesair and converses with the dying.
During the action of the play when the Vik-
| ing feels that death is near, he is carried on
board of his ship, which is set on fire, and
the Valkyrie maiden is supposed to carry
his soul to Valhalla, the heaven of Morse
mythology.
