AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"Freckles" Coming To Barre Next
Wednesday-Two Performances.

With a most truthful dramatization
of Gene Stratton- Porter's powerful sto-
ry, "Freckles", by Neil Twomey, the
play is proving as great success as
was the novel Manager Hoban of the
Barre opera house has secured this play
for matinee and night, next Wednesday,
Jan. LIST. dramatization of the best
sellers of all the best sellers should in
itself be sufficient to create a dramatic
Juror, for it must be remembered that
over million people have read ''Freck-
les, and have rayed over it. There is
no disputing the fact that for strength
of its beautiful simplicity, the story
stands as masterpiece. These at
tributes iuculcated into such pictures
sque environment as the great Linn
berlost" swamp, are far stronger where
the eye aids the remaining senses than
where all is left to the Imagination.
Twomey has brought ont. with vivid
forcefulness, every prominent incident;
he has been religious in sticking abso-
lutely TO the text and so those who are
familiar with the splendid nature Of
the Irish boy; with his pure love for
The Swamp Angel with ms sense OF
right and wrong; with his friends and
his enemies; with his sweet songs and
ready wit will know "Freckles', far bet
ter and will admire him more after
they have seen the play.
