HAPPY STRANGER IS
 BEST THING SEEN AT
 ORPHEUM IN YEARS
William H. Crane and Com any Give Best Performance Seen At Any Local Theatre In Many, Many Months To Small House.

People of the Warren District con- plain about the class of entertainment offered them and. when one of the premier actors of the English speak ing stage appears at one of the local theatres. they refuse to patronize and give the management any inducement to bring better and more attractions. Such was the case last evening when small audience greeted William IT. Crane and his most capable company in "The Happy Stranger"
 "The Happy Stranger" was just that to the theatre-goers of the Dis trict. It was a Happy Stranger and the people who did attend were treat ed to the best work, the best lines and the cleanest acting seen in this region in many years.
 William H. Crane has been before the American public for years. He has mellowed with age, since he came into national prominence in the part of David Harum. He has not lost his punch" and his years may only be measured by his mind.
 In the vehicle itself the daughter of one of the best known contempor- ary poets. Richard Le Gallienne, ap- peared Capable in the engenue's part, Miss Eva Le Gallienne was eas- fly the most pleasing to look at and that attraction in her personality merged with the excellence of her his trcnic ability. Raymond Van Sickle as Billy Booth, Susanne Morgan in the character part of Mrs. Sylvester. William T. Clark, as Dr. Sylvester. and Betty Tracy as Edith Sylvester were all excellent.
 "The Happy Stranger" might come again. but it has gone and many peo- ole in the District have missed a rare treat.

 May Day passed in Germany with little news coming out to show the exact situation with regard to the un- rest of the workingmen. A brief dis patch said the efforts of the radical socialists to bring about a cessation of workingmen in munition factories had failed and that no disturbances had occurred in Berlin. Unofficial advices, however, were to the effect that strikes had been declared by mu- nitions workers in the Rhine provinc- es and that Essen, the home of the great Krupp works, had been isolated from the world so far as news was concerned, to prevent information re- garding strikes in the Krupp works from leaking out.
 Petrograd again has been the scene of disorder followed by opponents of tke present government in which bombs were thrown and the troops were compelled to fire on the rioters The disturbance took place Monday but apparently it was short lived for a dispatch from Petrograd on Tues day announced that the Russian cap itals first May Day parade in which a million persons participated passed without disorder from the reactionar- ies.

AGENT REARD0N
RESIGNS
VIII Give up Position as Agent Of eros
yenOrdale Company, North GrOSye-
nOrdale, August LIST
Has Accepted Position Ia Fall River

Agent John Reardon of the GroSve-
nordale Company las rendered his res
ignation as head of the large mills in
North Grosvenordale and Grosvenor-
dale to take effect August 1st. Mr..
Reardon will go to Fall River.
Mr.. Reardon leaves the Grosvenor-
dale Company to accept position
with the Borden mills, one of the four
largest cotton manufacturing compa-
MES in the country, having over 1850
looms. This is a still more important
position than the responsible position
he has held in North Grosvenordale.
The news of the resignation of Agent
Reardon will be received with regret,
not only by those connected with the
mills but also by the townspeople, and
by his many friends and acquaintances
in Putnam.
Mr.. Resrdon succeeded G.. s. Andem
as agent of the large cotton company
four and half years ago. He has held
the regard and esteem of the large
number of employees in the big mills as
he has ever had their interests at.heart
and has seized every opportunity to
enhance their welfare.
MI Reardon always took an interest
in the lives of the employees outside
the mill and whenever opportunity
offered encouraged their social activi-
ties by his spresence. He WAS instru-
mental in the formation of the Girls
Club which is enjoyed so much by the
women employees. He had the base
ball grounds put in excellent shape,
which was greatly appreciated by the
men. He has also done inumerable
little kindnesses that will never be
forgotten.
Mr. Reardon is fourth degree men,
Der of the knights of Columbus and
took an active interest in the order,
often attending gatherings in Putnam.
He was also an Elk and frequently
visited Putnam lodge. Last year he
took up golf and became member of
the Putnam Country Club. He will
be missed in all of these circles.
In the recent Liberty Loan canvass
Mr.. Reardon came to the fore in as
sisting Putnam in ,raisiug its quota.
Through his efforts between % and 80
thousand dollars was added to the
grand total.
Such a man as Mr.. ReaIdon this Sec
goes higher in business life the people
of the community can but wish him
happiness and future success.
