Friday Evening.

Friday Evening.
Producers Of the plays Of to-day, as
well as the dramatic authors, are keenly
alive to the fact that the public who
patronize the theatre demand great
deal Of realism in all productions. IN
the writing Of meIodramas, the authors
of recent years have relied to great
extent for their effects upon the me
chanics Of the stage craftsman. Nearly
everything from the fire engine to the
steam hammer, has been at some time
Tor other utnized II is therefore re-
freshing when the announcement is
made that one Of the plays Of the sea
SON. Billy the Kid is not melo-
drama whose stage mechanics dwarf the
actor, but one where the situations are
brought about BY logical action Of the
wcH defined story the play tells. and
they are said to be Of exceptional
strength. Novelties Of many kinds
abound and there Is lots OF comedy.
The action 81 the play Il placed In
four acts. al Of which are laid mi New
Mexico. The characters are interesting
types and are for the most part drawn
from life. AT the head Of wen known
company Of players and with ain elab-
crate production. Billy the Kid" will
be seen here at the opera house Friday

Various CITIES ID Vermont are taking
a thought to their front-door entrance
via the lines Of the railroads. We should
dislike to have an opinion formed Of
Barre BY this means, for the North Barre
front-door Is not entirely to the liking
Of those with desire for the beautiful.
1t does give an indication that Barre
is busy community, at any rate. Mont
pelier furnishes a good Illustration Of
an attractive front-door to have, be-
cause one Of the finest sections of the
city lies just across the Winoosh river
from the railroad track, with some Of
the most imposing buildings Of the city,
including the State House, the National
Life building and several large and hand
some residences. However, the approach
from the line Of the Montpelier & Wells
River railroad is not SO good; and the
conditions are much as they are in North
Barre, and hard to improve upon, BE-.
cause Of the location there Of great
many granite plants, Still, as between
beauty and business, give us business.
