Benefits of Good Roads.

There is one side to the good road
question which is good thing and
one which few farmers seem to think
of and that is the market side. Why
does the price of farm butter and eggs
climb skyward in the towns every

These things pile up in the homes Of
farmers because they cannot get them
to town. Good roads would make an
even market all the year around and
would add very largely to farm
profits.

If Robert Mantell showed to adj
vantage Monday evening before the
local theatre-going populace in the
role of Brutus, he fairly outdid him.
self as night in his portrayal of
King Lear at the Shubert The-
atre.
BY many the role of Lear is con-
sidered the best in Mr.. Mantelrs
extensive and versatile repertoire.
While the house was not packed
last night, owing perhaps to the in
clemency of the weather, those who
were there made up in enthusiasm
what they lacked in numbers. They
showed keen appreciation of the
work of Mr.. Mantell and his COM
pany, and the great actor was com
PEELED to respond to several curtain
calls.
Exceeds Conventional Three Hours.
The play is presented as prepared
by William Winter for the use of
Edwin Booth and is of
length, running beyond the onven
tional three hours of stage enter-
tainment.
Too much cannot be said of Mr..
Mantelrs portrayal of the character
of the mad King Lear. 1t is a part
which calls for extreme changes in
the emotions, from rage and anger
one moment to tenderness and love
the next.
An especially fine piece of acting
was given by Mr.. Mantell in the Sec
ond act where he invokes curses
upon his daughter Goneril. who, he
finds, has betrayed his trust.
When He Sees Cordelia Dead.
Again the great successor of Irving
and Mansfield showed to advantage
in the tempestuous scene in act three,
and in the final act when he dis
covers the body of his youngest
daughter Cordelia.
The company supporting Mr.. Nam
tell is an able one, as was demons
strated by last nights performance.
From the part of Julius Caesar to
the kings jester in one night would
appear to be quite a come-down, and
yet the acting of Guy Lindsey as
the fool was surpassed only by that
of the great tragedian himself.
Miss G~enevieve Hamper was
pleasing as Cordelia, the youngest
daughter of the king. Others in the
cast were Alfred Hastings, as Earl
Of Gloster; John Burke, as Earl eof
Kent; L'Estrange Millman, as the
Duke of Cornwall; Brigham Royce,
as Edmund; Noel Tearle, as the
Duke of Albany; Raymond Geist, as
Curan, a courtier; william Court
leigh, jr., as Duke of Burgundy;
John Fritz, as King of France; Fritz
Brown, al a herald, and the Misses
Agnes Elliott Scott and Genevieve
Reynolds as daughters of the king.
