"Iove Tales of HofTmann." |"

The most beautiful opera ever put on the American stage, is the verdict of everyone who hears the "Love Tales of Hoffmann," which comes by special ar- rangement to the Mahaiwe. But this great opera itself is no greater than the famous cast of The Sheehan English Opera Company, which is to be heard in it.
 This company which comes to the Mahaiwe Theatre, Great Harrington, Tuesday night, March II, is the same organization which has presented this opera in every city of importance from coast to coast, and includes the foremost artists on the American stage, among whom are Joseph F. Sheehan, Francis J. Boyle, Louis LaVelle, Doris Marvin, Gladys Caldwell, Alma Stetzler, Mirth Carmen and about dozen others, as we'll as the unexcelled Sheehan Chorus and special grand opera orchestra un. der the direction of William F. Glover.
 Never before has such an array of art ists been heard in one company at popu- lar prices and never before has this sec- tion had an opportunity. such as IS af- forded by hearing these artists in such a beautiful opera as "The Love Tales of Hoffmann." It IS not to be wondered at then that Manager Hewitt of the Ma. haIwe, announces that the advance sale is the largest ever recorded for per formance in that town, and urges all his patrons who expect to see this per formance to secure their seats as early as possible.

WASN'T HALF BAD
Generous Verdict of Casual Atten-
 dant at Hymn Singing.

Generous Verdict of Casual Atten-
 dant at Hymn Singing.
 An amusing conversation was over heard last week Wednesday morning during the breakfast hour, in the dining room of the Canfield hotel. It was the morning after the mass meeting of Con- gregational hymn-singing 1n Town Hall
 Two travelling men, seated at the same table, engaged in sort of desul- tory conversation. and one man asked the other if he had attended the center tainment' the night before. On being answered in the negative, the man said he went up to the hall, just to pass the time away, and declared it wasn't bad at all. He said the audience was com posed of decent, respectable looking peo- pie 1; that the music was good and that the conductor was as good as you'd find anywhere.
 The Canaan party, sitting at an ad- jacent table, heard this review with some amusement, and observed later that the self sufficient and patronizing critic might have admitted that the singing event was really worth attend. 1ng, if he had known that the conductor MT. Paine, is recognized, the world oyer. as premier trainer of chorus slng- CTS and conductors that the sextette of horns were played by artists picked by the celebrated bandmaster, John George Frank, from the highest class brass mu- sicians in New York, and were led by Mir. Frank himself, and that hIs esti- mate of the respectable quality of the audience might not have suffered If he had known that among the audience were such people as MT. and Mrs. Carl Stoeckel, well known to every singer and composer and director of eminence, as among the most discriminating and liberal patrons of music in this country.
 Probably the transient gentleman ex- pected to find the audience composed of women who chewed gum and wore shawls over their heads, and men wear ing fur caps during the singing, and splitting tobacco juice on the floor, and the music supplied by fiddler who con- ducted the singing at the same time by beating time on the platform with his foot.

MOVING PICTURE EDUCATION
interesting Article by w. Victor Miller,
 of Great Harrington.

of Great Harrington.
 Moving pictures are now being. made factor in the education of the world. Both through education by the commer- cial films in the theatres of the land and by their use in the schools of various cities. In Wichita, Kansas they arc used in the schools in both the element ary and secondary courses. In Orange, N. J a course is in preparation for an eight year period of instruction with the pictures as large factor. The pio- lures will not supersede the school books, but will aid them and create an interest in them that cannot be had in the still life pictures in the schoolboolp of today.
 You sec in q geography picture of Niagara Falls, but you can get no lm- pression or it as it really is. In the moving pictures you are literally taken to view the Falls, or if you wish, the Falls are brought to you.
 Also the geography shows picture of an eruption of a volcano. Mt. Etna we will say. and in this film you are shown the mountain while lying dormant. then there are views of the beginning of an eruption. As the volcano works itself into fury. the lava and fire are seen to burst forth. The picture follows the lava as 1t flows on. and in it's path are Q house and vineyard; we see these de- stroyed anI still the molten lava flows on. At length it flows more slowly aud is soon seen to harden. By this picture in the space of ten uo fifteen minutes tho pupil can learn more vividly and cor rectly about the eruption of volcano than is possible by study of books for quite while.
 That scientific education is helped by means of the film we have the work of Commandon of the French Academy of ScIences to show. His masterpiece is the showing of the deadly work of the virus of the sleeping sickness which is one of the diseases most dreaded in Ar rica. In the scientific groups are placed the subjects following Chemical Ac- tion, Experiments with liquid air, Radi- ograhy in practice, The Part Played by Air in Respiration, and Microscc picaI Curioslties. ..
 A German scientist has taken pictures by means of the X-Ray of the process of digestion and also very valuable pie lures of the heart action. There are for use in medical schools pictures of tho surgical operations of many of the lands most highly educated and skilled sur geons. For use in the same schools arc films of the external symptoms of various nervous diseases.
 There is and educational film showing the house.fiy walking in filth and wip- ing his feet of on the sugar bowl. This

GROUND TO PULP
Horrible Death, Under Gar Wheels,
 of Reuben Ford.

of Reuben Ford.
 Reuben Ford, who lived at Ames- vllle, Falls Village, was horribly killed by the cars, near the residence of T. F. Watson in Falls Village, Friday eyen- ing. His fnangled remains were dis covered by boy who was walking on the track with lantern, just after the second section of the passenger train went north. Assistance was summoned and the body examined It was ground to an unrecognizable pulp. Nobody saw the killing, and it is not positively known whether it was the first section ot the express. or the second section that struck the man, nor is it known whether he was lying on the track. or walking. He had been seen about the village few minutes before the first section went up, and it is said some body saw him after that, walking un steadily up the track, which would seem to prove that he was killed by the second section.
 The condition of the body, as found by Dr. Skiff, medical examiner, indi- cated that he had been drawn under the wheels and rolled over and over and crushed and ground out of shape. The track was smeared with blood and shreds of flesh and clothing for dis tance of 100 feet. The body was removed to Undertaken l. P. Horn n T for burial, after being viewed by Coroner Herman. of Winsted, and the remains were taken to Norfolk for in- terment, where the funeral took place on Sunday.
 Ford was 37 years old, and married. He was an industrious laborer and well thought of, though he had an unfortu- nate weakness for drink, which finally brought h1m to hls tragic death.

 After the supper the tables were re- moved and the floor cleared for dancing, which was preceded by variety enter tainment consisting of music, singing and clog dancing.

The cute little Kelsey Kids delighted with their clever dancing, John Adams and John Armstrong played cornet and trombone duet in way that pleased the listeners All the specialists were ac- companied by Miss Kegler, on the piano. Foreman Wigglesworth acted as master of ceremonies, and was the chief factor in the arrangement of the whole affair.
 After the specialties. dancing was in- dulged in until after midnight. when the guests departed with sense of obli- gation to their generous hosts, the mem bers of Canaan Hose Company No. 1.
