COMING MAINE ELECTION.

the last presidential year. A single

for my wife being the first lady to
ascend the steps of that building. /

and in fact l never was in it until L
visited the building with my wife pre-
vious to leaving st. Louis. I was en-
ployed on the palace of fine arts during

Louis and after that. until leaving the
city. l was in charge of the Barnick
Insurance Companys work on the
worlds fair grounds. ...s
The honor Of being the first lady to
enter the Maine State Building fell to
Mrs. Sanford purely by chance and she
received a hearty welcome from the
foreman and crew of the building, who
by the way are all men from Maine.
The building when complete will be
one of the best buildings on the
plateau of states, it being the only one
EXCEPT the Oregon and Washington
state buildings not constructed of staff.

THE "REP" SHOWS.
One Practice Which They Ought to
Cut Out-Stage Notes.

Some people kick at the rep" show,
but that isn't quite right, for it fills
place, and want, in the amusement
world which it would be too bad to
have vacant. Just as there are bad
attractions going about the country
playing one night stands and charging
regular prices 50 there are bad "ten,"
Invent and ''thirt'' shows on the cir
cult. But, to come right down to a
candid talk between ourselves, do you
feel half so Disguised with yourself
when you go to u bad rep show as
you do at one of those lurid kind that
take the regular fee?
OF course you don't.
AS a well-known Augusta theatre
goer remarked to the writer the other
day. the majority of the reps are
preferable to the majority of the one
night stand attractions which have hit
the Maine circuit in the past few years,
previous to the present season. 1t
would not be fair to include this season
in the foregoing statement as it is we'll
known that there have been some ex-
ceptiOnally fine attractions in Maine
this year.
But there is one thing which the
managers of the popular price attrac-
tons do which ought to be prohibited
by law. This is the habit of announc-
ing an entire repertoire of new plays
and then springing lot of old timers
under new titles. This makes us good
and angry when we meet it, for it sort
of makes us feel that we'd been bun
coed. Take. for instance, last week
the Rentfrow Company announced for
Tuesday night bill THE Devil Mine"
That was something new and we took
it in. When the curtain went up and
the first few lines had been spoken it
seemed familiar and then with a rush
it all came back. 1t was that old time
favorite. The Lightning Rod Agent"
Ed. Williams and Mora, when they
We're touring Maine back in the early
nineties used to play it. md it was an
old timer then. Lillian Tucker and
Charley Vaught had it in their list
when they We're travelling through
Maine from '95 to 81. and last year was
about the first time that frankie Car
pcnter and Jerry Grady have omitted
it from their list of plays. All of these
played it under the title of the Light
ming Rod Agent"
There's another play which the
rep" people delight in springing as Il
new play, but each time it is seen the
only new thing is the name. 1t has
been played under the name of 1.-THE
Indian" and it is believed that that is
it's original title. Across the TRAIL
'The Renegade and Mick Carter"
"a Southern Girl is frequently called
"A Southern Romance" "A Southern
Colonel" and "a Southern Spy" These
are only a few of the changes that are
rung in on old time plays. Just what
the need of this shifting of titles is it is
difficult to see. Certainly it makes
those who pay their money and go into
the theatre expecting to see something
Pew feel bit out of sorts toward the
management. Why wouldn't it be bet
ter to give the old name, rather than
to try and fool the people in this man.
