The late Charles Frohman, one of the
pioneers Of high-class drama, was q firm
believer in the new and novel. When an
Englishmsn, by name Carten, wrote a
play called Liberty Hall", Frohmsn, un-
beknown to his competitors, sailed for

what he at once saw was play far above
the usual average. He bought the
American rights, and five months later,
the historical Empire theatre in New
York opened with this play.
Last year, shortly before the untimely
death OF Mr.. Frohman, the play was
picturized for the Phoenix Feature Film
Corporation, and at once achieved great
success. 1t will be shown at the Strand

The republican municipal ticket
nominated in caucus last Friday even
ing will be without opposition, except
for full democratic ticket in ward 4
and an independent candidate for
street commissioner. The democrats,
at their caucus Thursday evening,
went through the motion OF nominas-
ing full ticket, with Frank L. Heath
at the head for mayor, and for alder
men 8. Scott Estey in ward 1, John
A. Stuart in ward 2, Winfred Joy in
ward 8, and Henry M. Dorgan in ward
s. There was a contest for the nomi-
nation of street commissioner,
jeremiah Hurley defeating Joseph
Morrison by four votes. Whether or
not this show of opposition to the re-
publican ticket was ever seriously in
tended is question. 1t was pretty
generally known before the caucus
that several of the candidates named
had declared they would not stand.
The result was that, with the excep-
ton Of ward 4. which held separate
caucus, nominating Il. Fremont Mad
docks for alderman, none Of the can
didates named would sign nomina-
ton papers. Even Mr.. Hurley de-
clined to run for street missioner
when it became known that Mr.. Nor
rison had filed papers as an independ
ent candidate. The republican ticket,
headed by DR.. A. G. Hagerthy, who
will this year be elected for his eighth
term as mayor, was deemed by the
democrats invincible, and they de-
clined the unequal contest. 1t is sig
nifcant of DR.. Hagerthy's strength
that in this presidential year, when
the edict has gone forth from demo-
cratic headquarters for nominations
in every city, that the democrats OF
Ellsworth have no ticket in the field,
a distinction which it is believed no
other Maine city will have.
