Lakewood Notes.

Mrs. Danes Defense" strong
emotional society drama is the play
at Lakewood theatre this week. It's a
splendid play not unlike THE Lion
and the Mouse" although it reminds
one strongly of The Thief" which
played at the Skowhegan Opera
House last season Miss Gleason has
the part of Mrs. Dane and appears
to good advantage in this serious role.
Mr.. Campbell and Miss Adair have
leading parts and deserve much credit
for the manner in which their difficult
parts are interpreted.
Don't miss the play next week. for
AT the White Horse Tavern" Is sure
to make a big hit. perhaps very big
gest hit of the season. This is a
beautiful story of the Austrian Alps,
is replete with delightful comedy, and
will be a scenic production we'll worth
seeing.
There will be two performances on
July Fourth at Lakewood, and a
dance in the evening.
Dance at Lakewood next Friday,
and Band Concert Sunday by the
Lakewood Band.
Remember the matinees each Sat-
urday afternoon. The performance
is equal to the evening performance,
and in order to encourage the matt
nee business all children under twelve
will be admitted free to the theatre
when accompanied by parents.
Do you know what splendid meals
are served at Lakewood Inn; IL not,
ask anyone who has been to the Inn
this season. After July first perch
dinners will be served II desired.

Hiram Knows.

One day this week a hedgehog
walked up Water street and entered
the Dunlap block and there he spent
the night to his own pleasure. He
was lassoed the next morning by
Augustus Sawyer and given a bath in
the Kennebec river. Last Sunday a
woodchuck was seen playfully going
about the dooryard of Morris Gled-
hill Tuesday morning C. Davis Mill
er saw a large deer near his house
on Elm street and Hiram Thyng found
that turtle on Elm street, Monday.
Hiram declares that the reason so
many of the sem-wild animals are
coming to Skowhegan is, that there is
to be flood and the animals are COM
ing to enter the Ark here.
