PLAYS BY MAINE INDIANS.
The Penobscots Preparing Now for
Presentation, Next Month.

Old Town, Me-, April 1?-One Of the
most unique dramatic events ever given
in Maine will com Elm May. when the
Penobscot Indians of Indian island will
present two plays in city hall for tn :
benefit of their Catholic church.
The Penobscots have long been under
the ministering care Of the Sisters OF
Mercy, who Nave taugn. the schools,
cared for the sick and IN many ways
endeavored themselves to the people or
the tribe, who have now expressed their
Willingness to assist for the benefit OF
the church.
The first play will be based on the
historical episode of Capt. John smith
and POcahOntas, but the Indians Will
not be guided by the story as printed
in the histories. They think they have
a more correct account in the Legends
of the tribe In fact, Big Thunder. tno
great chief, now past so years, claims
to be Il direct descendant of Powhatan.
The business and lines Of the COM
ing production will be directed and die
tatel by Big Thunder himself, who
takes the matter with great seriousness.
scots, whose American name is Peter
Loring. will take the part of Powhatan'
and his wife, said to be the handsom-
est squaw on the island, will be the
Pocahontas Of the cast. The other parts
will be taken by the braves, squaws
