aMy Cinderella Girl. Next Friday.

Since the famous merry Widow

PRODUCED in My Cinderella Girl the
merry French musical farce, which is to
be presented at the opera house next
Friday, December s. The piece is from
the French of Marcelle Javrier, translat-
ed by Erika Gulfstrom with lyrics by
Melville Alexander, and music by Anatol
Friedland. The story concerns youth
full looking widow, who has daughter
at boarding school, The widow becomes
enamored with young nobleman and
elopes, at the same time her romantic
daughter runs away with the young
mans father. An impecunious inn keep
er conceives the idea OF attracting motor
traffic by strewing the road with broken
bottles and the clipping couples are the
first victims. Here the fun becomes fast
and furious, but with none of the ris-
queness so prevalent in French farces.
The complications are novel and in the
end the quartette finds their true mates
An unusually capable company inter-
prets the piece. Knox Wilson, the star
Of the cast, has created the leading roles
in "The Land Of Nod" "The Burgomas-

State Should Own B. Il M.-Lawyer
Brandeis Discusses "Many Grave
Defects in Management of
the New Haven"
STATE SHOULD OWN B. & M.

Boston, Dec. 2.--Louis d. Brandci
does not think that President Mellen O
the New Haven railroad is wholly Il
blame for grave defects in manage
ment" discovered by himself and Others
He issued Saturday a statement urging
that the state break the New Ravens
monopoly of transportation facilities in
New England by taking the Boston and
Maine railroad away from it. Owners OF
New Haven stock are blamed by the
Boston lawyer for permitting the direct
ors to support the monopolistic policy,
Mr.. Brandeis says:
The widespread complaint over the
many wrecks on the New Haven and the
Boston and Maine railroads, over the
wretched freight service and the heavy
depreciation of the value OF the securi-
ties of these companies are well found
ed; but it is unjust to place upon Mr..
Mellen alone the whole blame for the
present deplorable condition of trans
portation in New England
Mr.. Mellen has shortcomings which are
obvious, and as chief executive of the
New Haven and of the other controlled
companies Mr.. Mellcn can properly be
held responsible for many grave defects
in management, but the existing evils
are not due to the errors or omissions of
one man. These evils are due TO the
adoption by the company OF policy, in
evitably prejudicial TO the interests both
Of the commonwealth and of the cont
pany itself-the fatal policy OF monop-
oily.
Mr.. Mellen could not have persisted
for eight years in this policy Of monop-
oily and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT unless be had
been actively supported by the directors
and unless the stockholders had supinely
in the action of their direct
ors.
As the fatal policy of monopoly is the
cause of our existing trans.
portation evils, these evils can be rem
edied only by removal of that cause
a substitution OF competitive conditions
for monopolistic conditions, a division of
which are now too vast to he |
efficiently operated as unit. No mere |
change in the chief executive of the New |
Haven system can materially improve |
existing conditions.
The greatest error was committed /
when the New Haven was allowed to /
control the Boston and Maine by the |
passage of the Boston Railroad Holding
company bill. That grave wrong to the /
and to the stockholders of |
both companies must be dndone. The
Boston and Maine must be separated
rom the New Haven system, and for.
the power was reserved to the
TO do this when the Rail
Dad Holding company bill was passed.
However adverse We may be to govern
nent ownership and whatever disposi-
ion may be made of the Boston and
daine after it has been acquired by the
commonwealth, there is now no way
trough which the needed improvement
n our transportation conditions can he
ecured except through the exercise by
he commonwealth of its reserved right
o take away the Boston and Maine
rom the control of the New Haven.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"A Butterfly on the Wheel at Barre
Opera House Tonight.

| The difference between careful stage
management and haphazard work is well
| illustrated in the case of "A Butterfly
on the Wheel" which was produced in
| New York last season by Lewis Waller,
/ the English actor manager, under Shu-
bert auspices. This is drama by Ed
ward g. Hemmerde, X. c., and Francis
Nelson, NJ. p, which had long run in
London with Mr.. Lewis Waller in the
leading role. When Mr.. Waller came 20
New York to appear in 'The Garden Of
Allah" he brought with him the Ameri-
can rights for "A Butterfly on the
Wheel" and early in the season brought
out the piece at the Thirty-Ninth street
theatre. It's success was immediate.
Now that its long run in New York has
come to termination Mr.. Waller is
sending the company ON tour and it Will
be seen at the opera house tonight.
"A Butterfly on the Wheel" is story
of the wife of a member of British Par
lament, who commits slight indiscre-
ton. This, however is sufficient for the
husband to sue for divorce and the big
scene in the play shows the court room
with the butterfly" on the witness
stand. The prosecution has gathered an
abundance of evidence much of which
has been gained by hired detectives. 1t
is the endeavor of the prosecuting attor
ney to handle the witness as roughly rs
possible and by means fair and unfair
hold her up in the eyes of the court and
jury as a guilty woman.
AS the case progresses it is evident
that the sympathy is with the witness,
yet the same feeling is not to be found
on the stage for, although she makes
frequent appeals to the mercy OF the
court, she is told to answer questions
and not offer criticism. In the end she |
breaks down under the fire of the fierce |
cross examination.
The play is told in four acts, the first |
two taking place in a room in a Paris |
hotel where the wife, owing to peculiar
circumstances, finds herself alone with |
The man who is named as correspondent. |
fhe fourth act, which takes place in the
nome of the member of Parliament,
brings about a happy reconciliation, and
t should be said, perfectly natural
me, for the husband is not slow in
ealizing the great injustice he has done
lis wife by suspccting her of guilt and
ubjecting her to the horrors OF the
ria .--Adyt.

What Becomes of Aged Birds 2

Why do We seldom see old and feeble
birds2 The storks have long enjoyed
the reputation OF caring for their aged-a
reputation questioned by many; but
among adult birds the law is the survival
of the fittest. A Companion contributor
describes an incident which emphasizes
this fact.
His neighbor's house has large plate
glass window on the south side. against
which birds frequently fly. A male rob-
in recently dashed into this window with
force that seemed sufficient to break
every bone in its body. In momentthe
kind-heared members OF the family had
the bird in hand for resuscitation. Cold
water was put on its head, a drop or two
on IFS tongue, and even the camphor bot
lie was placed at its nostrils. After
while the robin revived, but was so Stun
ned that for few days it hoped about
the yard in somewhat dazed condition,
taking only short flights to low branches
of trees, and then from branch to branch.
II preferred to remain upon the ground.
So docile was the bird that when II wai-
dered out Of the yard il could be driven
back again.
The strange part OF the incident was
that the other robins treated the dazed
bird without mercy. They pounced upon
il, knocked il over, pecked and lore II,
and had to be driven off or they would
have killed it, Not only did the dazed
male bird receive this treatment from the
other males, which would not have been
altogether strange, since rivals are accus-
toned 10 fight vlciously, but also from
females. The evident intention OF the
robins in the neighborhood was to de-
stroY this bird whose conduct had become
abnormal.
Is this one reason why we so seldom
see feeble or wounded birds 2 And is Il
reason why birds hold the line OF their
descent so true 10 type2 The crows are
known to pursue and drive out OF the
field an albno. They have been known
also TO pounce upon tame crow and
drive him precipitately TO the shelter OF
the bam-yard. II is important TO OBJ
serve whether birds with pecuiarities Of
any kind are more often in encounters
with their fellows than those with the
usual coIors and manners, and whether
their fellows combine against them as
they do not against Others II should be
noticed also whether females look upon
males which have peculiarties with less
favor than they do upon those that are
true TO type.
