ers of Bath, and it was one of the best
amateur plays put on here in years. The
company, the play, the performance, were
commented upon by the veterans, who
showed their appreciation by a generous
applause. The entire company got into
the game from the start and kept the
audience on the tiptop of enjoyment TIL
the final curtain. One apparently impos-
sible situation after another was unfold
ed and developed, keeping the veterans
in a constant laughter. The Bath Buds
stood the inspection very well and will
certainly develop into American Beauties.
Miss Martha Crosby, pretty, chic and
talented, her personality charmed the
eye while her acting was far beyond hec
years of experience, and she played the
part of Eva Perry with all the prace
and steadiness of veteran. Hiram Ste
vens played his many difficult parts 70
in the leading role. Another very diff
cult part was that of Mrs. Brenda +.
Hill as Mrs. Bloodgood. w. II. Muir
laugh as Amos Bloodgood was another
good actor, who had fine stage pres
ence, expression that took with the au-
dience. Miss Virginia Russell and Miss
Eunice Nudge, the heroines of the two
love stories of the piece, portrayed the
difficult role of the innocent and artless
young girl to perfection. The other parts
in the cast We're taken by talented per-
sons who, although in minor roles, were
equally as good as the stars.

FreckIe.Face
March Brings Out UnsiehtIy Spots
How to Remove Easily.

Do you know how easy it is to re-
move those ugly spots so that no one
will call you freckle- face?
Simply get an ounce of othine,
double strength, from Bowditch, Web
ster & Co, and one nights treatment
will show you how easy it is to rid
yourself of freckles and get beauti-
full complexion. The sun and winds in
March bring out freckles, and as a
result more othine is sold this month,
and the druggists sometimes find it
difficult to get sufficient to supply all
calls. Be sure to ask for the double
strength othine, as this is sold under
guarantee of money back if it fails to
remove the freckles.
