AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Pollard Juvenile Opera Companies Com
ing Thursday Evening.

The present company which comes t.
the Barre opera house on Thursday, Jan
30, for local engagement of one night,
is considered the de luxe edition of
the Pollard Juvenile Opera companies.
The fifty members have all been trained
since childhood by the successful Pol
lard system which makes real veterans
and veritable stars of the youngsters be-
fore they reach their teens, and from
that point on they may well be judged
by the highest standards set by the most
noted adult stars. The Pollard Juvenile
Opera company which comes to this city
is composed of stars whose ages range
from sixteen to nineteen years, and it
is not difficult to imagine the delightful
freshness and naturalness or ~prima
donna of sixteen and the absolutely ir-
resistable comedy qualifications of COM
edians of sixteen, eighteen and nine
teen years respectively. Chorus and bal
let numbers are executed with wonderful
adroitness and power of voice by lads
and lassies who have not sacrificed their
freshness of youth to age and excesses.
1t is the proud claim of the management
that their enterprise could never have
reached its present state Of recognition
and perfection had not the strictest NOR
al atmosphere been woven and main
tanned about the lives of these little
mummers of the stage to-day.
Each little life and personality is fos-
tered in the matter of individual de-
velopment, and each little star has his
or her own problems of life and educa
ton to solve, in his or her own sweet
way. In every land and cline have
these little folks travelled. Their edu-
cation has been carefully administered |
and at every moment of their lives there |
is motherly counsel and advice and |
proper restrictions at hand to prevent |
harm breaking into life which is sure
" real joy if the words of the young |
folks themselves may be taken as be-
lieveable. Surely with such an example
OF the stage elevated at hand there is
not much to complain of along the line
of the chosen profession of these little
folks.

Clerk Who Gained Good Will OF Diff

"Anybody can hold the trade Of a
good-natured customer" said the SUI
perintendent of a large mercantile
establishment to a new clerk. It's
the man who can please the cranks
and chronic kickers whom we want
and who will find himself in line for
promotion"
The new clerk remembered. He
set himself to please difficult Gus
toners, the ones who like to COM
plain and will find an opportunity to
DO so no matter how good the service
and merchandise. II realized" he
says, that their money is just as
good as the next mans, though it may
be more difficult to get"
It was not long before the obliging
clerk had built up a personal trade,
so that critical customers would ask
Tor him on entering the shop. They
liked to be waited on by one whom
they knew desired to please. Often
they became much less crochety.
The superintendent was as good as
his word. When the value of the
rev mans services became apparent,
as 1t inevitably did, the promised
promotion was not long delayed.
