''P0LLYANNA" AT
 THE NEW MAJESTIC

Seldom has such a list of successful plays been offered by any stock with the quality that has characterized the presentations of the Maddocks Park Players at the Majestic theatre this season. Each week patrons can be heard as they leave the large audito- rum, "The best yet' That is the aim of the management. and they are being financially rewarded for this view. Royalty, production or casts have not entered the minds of the management when it comes to the play, for they have wisely decided 'The Play Is the Thing" In view of this, take into consideration the bill for the coming week when 'Pollyapna" will hold down the boards, to use a stage slang. The authors and producers are asking the highest possible royalty for a play of its kind, and it is safe bet that 1t is one of the highest royalties ever paid for the privilege of presenting a play in stock in this city. Extra people are used. and considering 1t from all angles, it is the most expensive show from a managerial standpoint thus far produced this season, even surpassing '.The Eyes of Youth,' which is rated as one of the biggest released for stock purposes.
 Little Miss Park will be seen in the title role and the balance of the com pany will be well cast.

is not only highly humorous, but is original in plot and action. This trio of capable performers are sure to please with their offering.
 As dispeller of gloom the stage has not the equal of Jack Goldie, black face comedian. whose speciality is ban ishing the blues" by means of songs and stories and fancy whistling. Jack is riot and one of the big attractions of the bill.
 Goldie and Ward will be seen in song and eccentric dances. They are clever performers, with an original offering. The Three Victors, sensational ex- ponents of extraordinary equilibrium, will offer some wonderful hand-t hand balancing.
 big surprise programme is billed for the second half of the week. the opening performance of which will be at the matinee Christmas day. The holiday programme is one of the best of the year and will include two big top-line attractions, three other star acts, Mix photoplay, screen comedies and nv pictures and many other fea- lures that make up the most attractive programme ever offered at the local playhouses.
 In order to accommodate the holiday crowds, the theatre will open a half hour earlier on Christmas day, and four vaudeville shows will be presented at ?, 4, and o'clock

the plat alone would be sufficient for a revue. There will be another mat mess Saturday afternoon.
 MT. Cort has equipped this attrac- tion with a splendid cast for the parts of Flo-Flo, the irresistible corset model; Angelina Stokes. the American girl, forced by a grasping mother into loveless marriage; Billy Cope, the hero. from Oshkosh, and two comedy teams, Mosher and Simpson, owners of the Bride Shop, and Pinky and Aloysius, two young men of agile feet, whose fingers prove to be as nimble as their pedal extremities.
 The plot evolved by Fred De Gresac center sabout the Bride Shop, where Angelina is ordering the rousseau for her wedding to a Spanish count, whom she cannot love. Her affections cen ter about Billy, her childhood sweet heart, who suddenly arrives in New York and accepts a position with Mosher & Simpson. Billy and Ange- lima, on being caught together are separated by the latter's stern parent, and Billy, despairing, succumbs to the vampirish Flo-Flo, most beautiful of Mosher & Simpsons manikins. Ange- lima sees her sweetheart and FIo-F'io together. becomes jealous and determ- ines to go through with her marriage with the count. Shortly after the perfidy of the count is discovered, Angelina's costly trousseau is stolen, and Flo-Flo decides to renounce Billy, whom she has found does not love her. So the lovers are brought together. but not until Pinky and Aloysus, as we'll as Mosher and Simpson, have had am pie opportunities to display their abilities as eccentric dancers.

 %QueStiOnnaireS For Berlin.

Y The town of Berlin will be denied &road improvements of an extensive mature according to a letter received & his morning by the selectmen from &Highway Commissioner Bonnet. The Fpart of the letten concerning the towns allotment of the $20,00O asked reads as follows:
 ( Be advised, therefore that the al- 5 sMtment for the appropriation period ~1g19-1921 is $9,O and as you are a aone-q quarter town your proportion of the cost will be $2,25O when work under the appropriation is complet- ed"
 Prospects for the East Berlin road do not look good after reading this l1mter. The state short time ago ap- pfopriated $1,00G,000 for state high ways during the period from 1919 to 1921. Each town was given due mo- tice by the state that it could make application for a pro rata share of this money for improvements on town roads.
 - one. hundred and thirty-four towns applied for q share of the money and the total asked for from these towns vSs s2,5OO,OGO. This means that every towns share must be cut. Part JtV ting will be to reimburse it for ex- pensa incurred in building the road to Berlin station from the top of Da- mons Hill.

The larE- est engines on the N. Y. N. H. &, II. It, R. are running through here every day now. an unusual sight. These engines are the 3200 type and are capable oi pGlling a load of 70 full cars.
