PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

When New York audiences sit
through an entire hot summer eve
ming laughing and applauding play
and when the curtain drops about II
o'clock, they continue their laughter
and applause and insist on dozen
bows by the company, 1t Is safe to
characterize the play as an unusual
hit. Such was the case with "A Full
House." II. H. Frazee's newest farce
success, which has just closed six
months run on Broadway, and which
continued right through the summer
months without closing for single
performance. This great laughter
success is coming to the Providence
Opera House the week of Nov. 18th,
with matinees Wednesday and Satur-
day, with cast Of New York favor
ties, and the playgoers of this city may
well prepare for the comedy treat OF
many years.
H. II. Frazee is known as the most
successful producer of laughing plays
in New York. His last years farce
hit, "A Pair Of Sixes," Is still fresh
in the minds of playgoers, and "A Full
House" has been declared by many to
be even funnier than that.
The story of "a Full House" con

ters of prospective brother-in-law,
This incident leads to a series of the
most amusing complications imagin-
able, leaving the audience with moth
ing to do but revel in a spree OF
laughter.
The play is from the pen of Fred
Jackson, one Of the most popular
magazine writer's Of the day, and is
brimful of bright and witty dialogue
and topical illusions. The production
permits of handsome stage settings
and the wearing Of some stunning
gowns by the ladies In the cast.
The cast is as follows: Gordon
Standing, Clara Coleman, Estelle
Reilley, Vivian Gill, Floy Murray,
Earle Mitchell, Donald Clayton, Edwin
Evans, William Moore. Harry Smith,
James Crowley, Nell Winter. Mae Be
ban and Anna La Shelle.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1915-03-19

The presentation OF an Official state
ment by the Belgian government indi-
Gates that the government, harrassed ard
driven from pillar to post by the Ger
man army, is rehabilitating itself under
the impetus of some influence which as
vet is not apparent to the casual OH
server of the progress of the war. More
over, the renewed activity which the Bel
gian army is displaying in the western
theatre OF war supporting the French
and British lines very strongly, may be
taken to be an indication of some hidden
development which augurs well for the
restoration of that country to much of
its former position, if not to far greater
prominence than it hitherto has enjoyed.
The several millions of Belgian refugees
in other lands need but the nod of the
head to return and restore their country,
whenever that signal shall come.

A GOOD FORCE BUT WEAK IN
NUMBERS.

Broadway got a glimpse of a regiment
of T. $. regulars the other day as the
troops marched through the city to take
transports for the Panama canal zone
and the sight prompted the New York
Evening sun to remark that while the
regiment made very fine appearance
and commanded respect for the Unitci
States army service, il also brought
sharply to attention Of the people Of the
United states that there are only 5000
OF those fellows in the service Of the
land forces Of the country. And the
contemporary position is well taken,
we believe. In view Of the tremendous
armies now operating in Europe, the 20.
tai land defenses Of the United States
arc ridiculously small, and even as com.
pared with the normal armies Of those
same European nations the number Of
the American army i an out Of pro

servants they are to be- we favor the
adoption Of some practical system winch
shall directly express their will"
The Progressive party convention was
pronounced in favor Of the direct pri,
mary system, as indicated by the pledge
in the following:
"The initiative, the referendum and d.
rect nominations through primaries and
elections not only as applied to the
states but also in the extension of these
principles to the nation as a whole"
Turning next to the Democratic plat
form, we find this most emphatic dec
laration:
I'VE promise our most earnest endcaS-
ors to place upon the statute books a
state primary law adapted to the de-
mands of the present day, so that the
people themselves may select ,her cam
didates for office"
Following those pronouncements the
voters, when given the chance to regis
ter their wish, returned a strong major
ity in favor of the primary system of
nominations. Yet, in the face OF those
party declarations and in the face IF
the majority sentiment as expressed by
the electorate, the Vermont House yea
terday voted to reject proposed law
along the lines laid down by party sug-
gestion and, later by order OF the citi
that rejection, if adhered to, win rest
on the Republican party as the dominant
force in the state when party divisions
are drawn.
