AMUSEMENT NOTES
The Great DADDY Long Legs" Coming
to Barre.

d. w. Haynes was in the city on Tues
day morning arranging for the coming
of the big Daddy Long Legs company
to the opera house on the evening OF FRI
day. Jan. 5. which will be the first visit
of this fine comedy to Barre. This is the
same attraction that played one OF the
most successful engagements at the Ire
mont theatre, Boston, known to the his
tory Of that house, only last winter, ana
then almost Immediately at the close OF
that engagement went to the Hollis
street theatre, in the same city, where 1t
PLAYED two months longer.
Daddy Long Legs" is really one OF
the best-liked plays now before the
American public, and the management OF
the opera house is fortunate in having
secured so popular an attraction Tor the
entertainment of their patrons. ms
comedy has the unusual record of having
PLAYED one year in New York and one
wear in Chicago. Several months ago,
Henry Miller, the producer and manager
of Daddy Long Legs" formed another
company and took it to London, where
it is now playing to great audiences at
the Duke of York's theatre. Mr.. Miller
has provided for the company that comes
TO Barre an entirely new equipment OF
scenery and costumes There are Tour
complete sets of scenery, and the COM
pany numbers "a people.
If Barre patronizes the Forthcoming
engagement of Daddy Long Legs" sutfi-
GENTLY to insure him fair profit, Mr..
Miller will send TO the opera house his
other comedy organization, now playing
Come Out of the Kitchen" at the George
NJ. Cohan theatre, New York.
DADDY Long Legs" seems to possess
particular interest for people who live IN
this section of the country, and one rea-
son. perhaps, is that Jean Webster, its
brilliant authoress, conceived the idea OF
the story while summering few years
ago on Cane Cod. Another reason may
he that Miss Webster lived great deal
in New England She was niece OF the
late Samuel l.. Clemens Mark Twain
and was a freguenter Of his home during
the years the great author lived at Hart
ford Conn, and while Miss Webster was
yet quite young.
The Daddy Long Legs" company that
win play Barre was the Christmas at
traction at Worcester, and will be the
New Years attraction at the Jefferson
theatre, Portland After playing the
opera house here on Jan. 5, the company
goes to Burlington, where it plays two
performances on the following day. From

JUST GOT OVER A COLD?

Look out for kidney troubles
and backache. Colds overtax
the kidneys and often leave them
weak. For weak kidneys-well,
read what Barre man says:
J. H. Holt, carpenter, Ia Hill
side avenue, Barre, says:
Last winter | caught a cold,
which settled on my kidneys and
caused them to act irregularly.
/ had such stitch-like pains in
my back that | couldn't stoop
over or do any lifting. One box
of Doan's Kidney Pills straight
ened me up in good shape, and |
haven't been bothered since"

simply ask for a kidney remedy

The War Game in the Choir.

The high soprano started out
With naught her rush to stem,
And with a battle cry advanced
Upon Jerusalem.
The alto met her on the road,
Engaged her in scrap;
The tenor on the double-quick
Came up TO fill the gap
Around the theatre of war
The steady basso doomed;
Then all of them fell to at once;
Jerusalem was doomed.
The city was about to fall,
Her glory proud to dof,
When higher powers interviewed
And called the fighters of.

point decision was not rendered
by the referee.
