RESULTS THAT REMAIN
Are Appreciated BY Barre People.


Thousands who sniTer from baekache

states that the cure was lasting.

AMUSEMENT NOTES
"The Lion and The Mouse" at Barre
Opera House Thursday, Nov. IL.

Opera House Thursday, Nov. IL.
In the remark of federal Judge
who was recently offered the nomina
ton of one of the great political par,
ties, after filming certain trust a mum.
Der of million dollars, "for Gods sake
leave me my judicial honor, manhood
and the respect of my friends"--we
have the keynote Of Charles Klein's
great play, "The Lion and the Mouse
which comes to the opera house on
Thursday, November IL. This is one
Of the many recent instances which
demonstrates beyond cavil that Mr.
Klein did not begin to touch the center
of reality when he wrote his great
drama which has kept the public OF the
country talking for the past three
years. The clergy and the press in re-
ference TO recent graft Investigations,
have used this play which Henry b.
Harris had the wisdom TO produce, as
text for sermons and editorials. and
lately the president of the United
States was urged to use the lesson
taught by "The Lion and the Mouse"
as campaign document.
~ 10 uNcl tHfte yours blilVe the piece
had its premiere, but brief resume of
the story may not be Inappropriate. John
Burkett Ryder, the INSCRIPTIONS money
king of the world, is thwarted in his
plans by Judge Rosmore Of the United
States supreme bench. Ryder resolves
to ruin, both financially and in reputa-
tion, the honest jurist. The former
wreck has been accomplished, when
Shirley Rossmore, his daughter, and
Ryder's only son, Jefferson, return
from Europe. They met aboard and had
fallen in love. The girl, learning Of her
fathers impending disgrace. sets about
to save his reputation, and becomes a
member Of the money baron's house
hold. How the lion suceumbs to the
mouse is unfair from the dramatist's
standpoint to reveal
Miss Carolyn Elberts will be seen in
the role of Shirley Rossmore, and Wal
ter Edwards is again dealing with the
part of Ryder. It is claimed by the
critics That Mr.. Harris is this season
sending the best company yet seen in
the Klein drama.
