stage production of which several are
, to be seen here during the season,
Mrs. Bachelor said: Mr.. Savage is
the largest real estate dealer in BoS-
ton besides being interested in bank
ing and various other business enter
priseS, but the stage is his hobby. He
has made the Savage name known
! wherever there are theatres because
Of the care taken with each detail of
performances. He believes that equal
importance must be attached to each
element of a production in order that
it shall be as nearly perfect as pos
sible
Mr.. Savage was the first theatrical
producer to choose distinct types 70
fit in his plays. The expense IS al
ways the last thing thought of in pre-
pairing scenic settings. His insist
ence on solid and substantial, or what
is called practical scenery, was gen
orally regarded as wild extravaganza
until lately. His orchestras, it will be
recalled, are always large and made
up of trained musicians. For many
years many music schools and con-
serVatories have been encouraged to
send their best pupils to Mr.. Savage,
and from these sources come the
always good choruses. AS far back
as the days of the Savage English
Grand Opera this began. His idea of
well balanced performance never
has been one star with a big name
surrounded by mediocre cast. but
each little part to be played by the
best type obtainable to fit that char
, acter.
He seems TO be able to anticipate
new styles in comic orcra or plays,
for they do change. The Merry Wild
ow,' Woodland, Madame " and
Everywoman' brought dozens Of
! limitations.
"A further example Of far-sighted-
ness was securing Mitzi for the title
role in 'Sari.' He had seen her in
! The Spring Maid in which she
| played Very different creature, and
recognized the unusual spark Of
theatrical genius in the tiny prima
donna. Sari' needed voice, youth,
| good looks and versatility for an act
ress and Il comedienne, and Mitzi
/ proved to be the only one who could
! have made the opera a great success,
! but no one but Mr.. Savage believed
! it before it happened. Her ability
was SO great she was made a star
the first one Mr.. Savage has had for
! he never has believed before that any
of his players held so Independent a
| place they could not be replaced in
| the public affections.
! Mr.. Savage feels that Mitzi is fill
! ing the niche in the hearts Of the peo-
! pie that Lolita and Maggie Mitchell
/ occupied in the height of their popu-
/ .arity and he desires to place her in
a setting as nearly perfect as pos
! sible, so Pom Pom comes as a
doubly attractive musical comedy
with an original Savage production
and a star of the first WATERWAY.

ICE MOVING WEDNESDAY
ON KENNEBEC RIVER
First Lot Comes over Dam at 6 p. M.
Wednesday-ln Motion Wednesday
at Other Places Along River

Wednesday was moving day with
kennebec ice at various points along
the river and reports received last
evening seemed to indicate that with
in a very few days the river from
Augusta to the sea, and also probab-
~ from Waterville to the sea, would
be free Of ice until the time should
come again for the annual freeZe-up.
Reports received yesterday after
noon from down river said that the
ice was running in the river from
Gardiner to South Gardiner, and as
far down river as could be seen from
the latter place, with prospect OF
clearing the river of ice as tar as
Richmond. 1t was also said that the
river was filled with moving ice above
Gardiner. Tuesday night found the
river clear Of ice from the Augusta
dam as far as the Wingate wharf in
Hallowell and a report late Wednes-
day afternoon from that city said
that the ice had moved from Win
gates down around the point and
was at that time lodged opposite the
steam mill crossing, but with pros
pcct OF moving again at any time.
The first movement of ice at Au-
gusta yesterday came a few minutes
before 6 o'clock in the afternoon when
tho river was for about 90 minutes
filed with small pieces Of ice which
came over the Augusta dam and was
hurried along by a strong current to
Join that at Hallowell and farther
down river. a telephone message
from kennebec, about four and a half
miles north of the city proper, at 6
o'clock, said that the river was free
Of ice from Five-Mile Island as far
down river as the mill Of the Kenne-
bee Lumber Co. and some ice was
moving there. although how far down
river toward the dam could not be
stated. People in that vicinity, how
ever. said that the ice looked very
weak. and that it was the general
err would be free.
The water IN the river. which has
been slowly rising for the past three
days, was running very swiftly yes
terday, and late II the afternoon had
reached height OF nearly seven feet
on the Augusta dam. including the
flashboards. and was still rising. The
high water interfered somewhat with
the operation Of the cotton mills Of
the Edwards Co. and caused a shut
down Of about quarter part Of the
machines of the several mills. The
Wharves along the water front were

The Boy Scout movement In this
city has been very successful. four
troops having been formed. and there
Is every reason to believe that the
Girl Scout movement will meet with
the same success. The plan Of the Girl
Scout organization is very similar to
that OF the Boy Scouts. The first de-
gree is known as the Tenderfoot and
in this is required an understanding
OF the Scout oath and the learning
Of the history Of the flag. Among the
tests of the second and first classes
which follow the Tenderfoot degree,
are; Cooking. first-aid. thrift AMI

classes the girls are eligible to any
OF the merit badge tests. such as qd-
vanced first aid, nursing, personal
hygiene. dietectics and public health
