Next to Rev Anna Howard Shaw, DR.
Fife McCullom Jones is the suffrage or
ator supreme" is the Characterization
given former Barre pastor by The In
dependent. of New Cumberland, West
Va, weekly newspaper which halls the
approaching visit of Mrs. Jones to that
section as an earnest of the thoroughness
with which the National Suffrage asso-
citation is spreading its gospel Of equal
rights throughout the country. After
leaving the pastorate Of the Unversalist
church in Barre, Rev Mrs. Jones was en-
gagged for some years in Waterloo, La,
where she continues to make her home,
although her speaking tours carry her
into many states Says The Independ-
ent: CDR. Jones is field director for
the National Suffrage association and is
one of the finest orators in the move
ment In Iowa, where she was pastor
of a church for many years, her influence
was SO great that many of her people
urged her to remain because they felt
she could not do greater work in an
other field. She is the prophet who is
the exception, for in her own town to
people OF all denominations she is the be-
loved DR.. Fife"
"The Making Over of Mrs. Matt"
comedy of three acts, was played before
fair sized crowd last evening at the
Barre opera house by Miss May Robson
and her cast of players, who presented
the comedy in most approved manner.
Every minute during the two hours and
a nall tDtJ Ine players were Oh tlle sldSe
they had the audience in an uproar over
their funny antics and expressions, which
appeared to the people to be very origi
nal. Miss May Robson, the leading lady
of the play, had, of course, the best
character in the piece, the part of Mrs.
Matt She gave it in splendid manner,
giving the audience a most striking pic
ture of fond mother who has not seen
her son in a long time but still is try
ing to learn the difference in style be-
tween New York life and western life,
which she has been accustomed to. Burr
Caruth was very good in the part OF
Matthew Lamson, western fnancier,
bringing out all the rough and abrupt
ideas of a western business man in a
laughable way. The part of Mr.. Lam
sons son, taken by Jack Storey, was
well taken, he giving some ideas of the
college graduate and trying to instill
them into his hard headed old father in
way that was nothing less than spectac-
ular. While these were the principal
characters of the play, the ones who
played the less important parts were
equally as good, the entire play being
filed with wit and humor and given in a
manner that its presentation will linger
long in the memories of the comedy low
