AMUSEM ENTS.
At the Strand.

Under Handicap" an eight-act
photoplay of love and determination,
with Harold Lockwood and Anna
Little in the leading roles, Is being
shown at the Strand. 1t Is play with
punch and one OF the best things
that these stars have done.
Under Handicap" is a story OF New
York-and the desert, principally the
desert 1t shows the workings OF
gigantic reclamation projects the
problem of wrestling great gifts from
nature. It's greatest lesson is perhaps
that to win from nature requires grit
and strength. both moral and physical.
One of the features is the construction
of a big dam. which Is blown up by
plotters and which by the undaunted
courage OF the hero Lockwood,, is re-
built in time to save the fortune OF the
heroine Miss Little.) An exciting
moment in the play shows Miss Little
galloping on horseback after a swiftly
moving train which she overtakes and
leaps from her horse to the platform
of the observation car. The cast,
which gives excellent support, includes

One ranking officer pointed out that

self is taking precisely the position of
the little group OF willful men whom
he denounced to the country. He au-

less the Grayson nomination went
through, il is said, and he now is de
llberately seeking to force the will of a
small social group ut the White House
on the country, despite the unanimous
opinion that the appointment has no
Semblance of reason or justice behind
il.
1t is also pointed out that the Presi-
dent in the Grayson matter ignored the
law and simply had the attorney general
lind means whereby the law could be
lodged. This has led naval officers to
say that ''If tho President were half
rs anxious to defend the American flag
on the high seas as he was to make this
personal appointment he would not have
placed an antiquated legal obstacle in
his own way and then said he could not
act because of il. =

ROBIN HOOD GIVEN
FINE PERFORMANCE
Soloists Of First Glass Ability, and
Capable Chorus, Entertain Large
Crowd in Auditorium.

Reviewed from the standard of a
lirst-class production, highest praise is
due the performance of Dekoven &
Smith s comic opera, Robin Hood. in
the Auditorium last evening. \ large
audience was present and manifested
its pleasure and satisfaction by abund-
ant applause. Most of the members of
the east were here at the previous APP
pearance of the company. but there
were some voices new to Brattleboro
and the addition of them heightened
the general effect, notably in the role
Of Robin Hood, by Ralph Brainard
tenor. No better aggregation of solo
lists ever rendered comic opera here.
Were one TO comment upon the work
of the soloists individually it would en-
tail only a variation Of commcndatorv
expression, it was all so delightful
There were no places that needed boil
steering up, and again and again the big
audience was thrilled with the splendid
solo and ensemble work. To the chorus
rs well as the soloists is due n large
measure of credit.
one cannot think Of the performance
without recalling, for instance, the
opening song and chorus in the Sher-
wood forest in the second act, by Her
bert Watcrous, than whom no more
pleasing bass singer ever appeared be
fore Brattleboro audience; or the song,
with chorus, Brown October Ale, bv
James Stevens, whose baritone voice is
used with marvellous effect; or the con
tralto solo, O Promise Me, by Cora
Tracy, whose singing throughout the
evening was q constant delight; or the
dramatic soprano singing by Ivy Scott
in the role ct Maid Marian; or the
Armorcr S Song by Mr.. Watcrous. which
was one of the gems Of the evening; or
the comedy work by Phil Branson and
David Andrada; or the male chorus
singing; or the general excellence of the
dramatic resources of the company.
Luigi DcFranccsco conducted the
opera, and the east was as follows: Lit
tie John, James stevens; Alan-a-Dale,
Cora Tracy; VIII Scarlet, Herbert Wa
ferrous; Auabcl, Jeanette Studlcv:
