Wednesday, May 18th, was the twelfth
birthday of Charles B. Hazeltine, End, and
on the afternoon of that day he entertained
a number of young friends at his home on
Northport avenue. Games were played,
refreshments were served, and it was
very pleasant occasion for all concerned
The report is that certain married men of
this city engaged a front row at the Opera
House for the night of ''The Innocent
Maids and their wives getting wind of it
engaged the next row back. When the oc-
cupants of the "bald-headed row" arrived

NEXT Door. The next attraction at
the Belfast Opera House will be the
Roger Brothers in their knock-about farce
''Next Door," the evening of May 23d.
This play abounds not only in the most
laughable situations, but in startling sensa-
tional effects as well it is as lively as a lot
of japanese torpedo boats attacking Port
Arthur. only the Embarrassment is in the
mentality of the listeners, and is due not so
much to the scenes presented as to the man
ner of their representation. There is an
abundance of high class vaudeville special
ties, but all are interviewer pleasingly with
the thread of the comedy.
