Lakewood Notes

After the very successful produc-
ton of 1.-The Devil and Tom walker
Mr.. Hymer was in a quandary as 10
what he should produce this week as
it was necessary to have strong Dill
but after careful consideration ne de-
cided upon Champagne and Butter
milk" and 1.-THE Cherry Tree. Every
mother and daughter should see the
former for it's strong moral lesson
and it will cause many tear. Inc
sudden storm effect which takes place
will be talked about for some time to-
gether with the beautiful scenery. In
this sketch Miss Frank and Mr.. Nc
Arthur are doing excellent work.
From tears the audience is carried to
laughter by the quaint sayings of Mr..
Ed. Davis who appears in THE Cherry
Tree" as George Washington Cohen
the Jew who cannot lie, only in the
end to fall for the wiles of pretty
woman and sacrifice his life long mot
to Nothing but the Truth" in order
to save her.
Next weeks production will include
an act never shown to the public De-
fore but which has already been sign
ed up for the big time houses and 1t
has all the earmarks of big success.
THE Rooster and the Chicken" as Mr..
Hymer has named it, shows the in
genuity of an old lady in keeping her
old husband, who has passed his Beau
Brummel days, still happy and entire
iy satisfied with himself TO accom-
plish this end a beautiful manicure
girl is used and the way the fussy
little old man Is deceived is most
amusing, a big heart interest runs
thru the act Another new set of
scenery. After the above farce a
dramatic act will be shown with a cast
of seven with big punch which
grips the audience every minute, there
is situation after situation ending
with a big climax.
AS usual the quartette and its men,
bers will render selections.
Next Sunday the First Regiment
Band of Skowhegan has been engaged
For all who ride on the cars or steam
er this will be free but there will be a
charge of 10c each for those who at
tend by automobile.
The afternoon dances at Lakewood
Inn have been changed from We'd
nesday and Saturday to Thursday and
Saturday at 8 P. NJ. For these dances
the charge of 10c for the entire after
noon is the only expense.
Friday night dances by Tinker's or
chestra are extremely popular, and
if they so continue arrangements have
been made with the orchestra for the
remainder of the season.
