TALES OF THEATRE

Man to Man" is the title of the
melodrama which will be seen at the
Illinois Sunday. In the field of theat-
ric amusement, no class of plays has
a stronger hold than medodrama; in
fact that portion of plays which has
tendency to evoke thrills is always at
tractive, and especially is this true if
they are brought about without ex-
aggeration. 1t is claimed the story
or plot Of Man to Man" is based on
facts-telling of the abduction of II
little girl. and the efforts of her
friends and relatives to find her. The
sensations include what is said 10 be
one of the most thrilling explosions
ever seen on any stage.

The first act of barbara
Frietchie,' the war drama in which
Mary Elizabeth Forbes and company
will be seen in this city next Monday
evening, discloses the interior of the
Frietchie home in Frederick. Mary
land. 1t is Il picturesque dwelling of
the colonial style of architecture. 1t
is of red bricl, with white trimmings.
and over its step is a balcony sup
portedz by four Corinthian columns.
Upon darkened theatre the curtain
rises slowly and softly without or
cheStral music. 1t is the starry twi-
light of languorous summer night.
and the air is tremulous and full of
the scent of honeysuckle and jasmine.
On the steps of the Frietchie house
sit three pretty young creatures
dressed in the quaint, soft. light dress
es of the period. open at the neck and
sleeveless. Through the window Bar
bara is heard singing kathleen Ma
Vourncen." The conversation outside
turns to the love affair of Barbara,
particularly her love for Capt. Trum-
bull. a union officer then stationed at
Frederick.

Miss adelaide Thurston. the star of
the very successful comedy drama.
AT Cozy Corners" TO be seen here
Wednesday. Feb. Il. on account of her
altitude in the mimic armament. is de-
prived of the ordinary pleasures usu-
ally enjoyed by young women of spirit
and activity. In her contract with
her managers. Frank j. and ClaXton
WiIstach. she is debarred from riding
bicycle, or automobile. skating on
ice or in roller fashion. or riding in
toboggan slides. or any kind of gray
ity railway. On top of this Miss Thurs
ton has her life insured for $4,000,
her managers named as benchcIarles.
The reason of these precautions arise
from a desire to obviatc the risk re-
sulting from accident or death, Tor
in such an event the large amount OF
money involved in scenery. costumes,
printing and other incidentals would
be almost total loss.

There was time when audiences
looked forward to each recurring sea-
son for Il feast of pantomime. which
usually consisted, as does in England,
of Il fairy story, or some popular
nursery myth. daintily told in words
and actions. the latter predominating
and winding up with Il comic harli-
quinade. wherein the antics of the
clown invariably invoked never ceas-
ing laughter from the audience. The
entire performance was always pref
tiIy and often gorgeously framed in
IL wealth of scene beauty which none
of the so-called "spectaculars" of the
present day approaches. Pantomime.
like the drama. has plot, in fact it is
drama in action. and its production ON
the stage was largely more expensive
than any other form of entertainment
outside of grand opera. In comic
pantomime there is much more lati-
tude for pure. unalloyed fun like in
lie Voyage en- Suisse" than in
.'shipload"' of so-calIed farce comedies.
It's for this reason. that the amuse-
ment loving public. and the largely
intellect portion of il Will always
welcome any production under the
management of the world famous
Bros. Byrne. who have through their
immense resources been enabled To
keep pantomime up tn its very high
est standard. as they never allowed
their great name made famous the
world over by an exceptionally bril-
liant record. to be associated with
anything except that which is nobiest
and best in the field of art which is
exclusively their own. The Hanlon
Bros greatest achievement lie \oy-
age en- Suisse" will be under the di-
rection of the Bros. Byrne. and will

COMPANY B, rst MAINE CAVALRY.

The First Regiment of cavalry from Maine.
which held its annual reunion IN Dexter,
Sept. 10th. had the honor to incorporate
Company b, first commanded by ). T. Gll-
ley, now of ROckland, as one OF the tweIve
companies raised in different sections OF the
State, says NJ. b. COOK IN the hochiano
Courier Gazette.
COmpany was raised in Th0mastOn and
vicinity, From the time when it went into
camp on the old race course at Augusta ~
September, 1861, until it left the State IN IN
March 1852 it reg. On nnmSer ,,S rois
known to be dead, three of whom have
passed away since the reunion last year,
namely, Capt. Jacob B. LOring of Rockland,
Roland C. Clark Of Warren, and Sergt. Mar
Gus Bowler of Palermo.
There are six members who served Win
the the ed bt dn bene dscharged I and
turning home dropped out of notice and at
this date cannot be accounted for. Ihey
are Jonathan Brown of Searsmont, dls.
charged in 1868; Justin l.. McFarland OF
Belfast, who came home in June, 1862; Ku-
fus E. Marden of Stockton, who Dade MS
company farewell before it left the State :;
Charles j. Olson, young Swede, enlisted
from Thomaston and secured his discharge
shortly after Banks retreat up the valley
in 1862; Martin Carr of Thomaston and
John W. Leighton of Belfast, both OF whom
re-enllSted i'll the nelu anu SeIfeu iditI1 'ly
until the end of the war, then returning
home. Any information regarding, the
above-named would be valuable as deter
mining the final history OF the men OF Com
pany B.
Those who are still among the living, or
were when the last records were made,
number 40. The list includes Alonzo Beck
with, Isaiah W. Cross, Surmandel richards
and Otis Whitmore of Belfast; Nathaniel
Gurney, Samuel Gurney and Edwin Went
worth of Waldo; George Wentworth OF Bos..
ton; Isaac A. Hall and John Thompson OF
Searsmont: Arthur Gilchrest of Montville
Center; Guvanus II. Dunton of Winterport.
OF these 40 members Joseph Z. Curtis
and Frank G. Wood were transferred TO
other companies in the regiment at Augusta; !;
Orlando Andrews did not leave the State;
and Joshua A. Fessenden was promoted to
a lieutenant in the regular army-so that
their history rightly belongs to other de-
partments of the I. s. service.
Thus we have 36 members of the original
company, each one of whom has history
replete with dangers and adventures that II
narrated would thrill many heart, The
members on returning home scattered over
a good part of the United States Maine
can claim 27, Massachusetts three, New
Hampshire, Connecticut and California
have two each settled in their territory,
while Colorado, Nebraska. New York and
our new possessions, the Hawaiian Islands,
