"Baby Mine" at the Opera House.

This is the last day Of 1915. See
"Baby Mine" Mt the opera house to night
and welcome 1915 with smile ON your
face. No one with sense of humor
could sit through a performance OF this
extremely funny comedy without aching
with laughter. Irwin Beds" was funny
but not half so funny as triplets. "Baby
Mine" has them all beaten when it comes
to actual comicality.
For New Years matinee bill, de-
lightful comedy drama will be presented
"a play replete with romance and bright
comedy, "Thou Shalt Not" CoIorful
costumes and music help to make this
charming comedy especially attractive to
ladies and children.
The managers of the Nellie Gill Play
ers have submitted it to Barre play-goers
to decide whether or not this unusually
well-balanced company shall return to
the opera house following the engage
ment of Wanda next week, and remain
indefinitely, putting on two new plays
each week. 1t is suggested that a pro-
gram OF good pictures be run from 6
O'Clock till 8, and special orchestra be

the pictures and between the acts. This
is the plan in embryo, but unless the
are made to.feel that there is
a reasonable demand for such entertain
ment, they cannot take the. financial risk
necessary to such a project. Go and see
the company in "Baby Mine" tonight;

lply was Il am an American" The re-
cruiting sergeant looked him over and
turned away with a sneer, "WelI, I'm

remark, writes the young man, is typi-
cal of the Canadian attitude toward
those from this side of the border gen.
eral contempt for Americans because we
are not joining in the war that the
British world firmly believes is in our

TO know that Germany and its allies

for their enemies. and at the same time
Great Britain aud France and their allies
hold ms in contempt because we are not
standing side BY side with them in the
active warfare. 1t is the penalty OF be.
