To purchase a Grand or Upright
Piano or Player-Piano in this Sale
is to practice economy in the truest

as greatly as most other merchant

not to be ignored. Especially when

vim of the play, which scored such
phenomenal success, both in New
York and on the road, several sea-
sons ago. 1t is seldom that COM
edy Of this nature is entered into,
onthe part Of the players, with such
sincerity, without causing it to be
distinctly amateurish; but this
comedy was well put on, and scored
for the Bowdoin Masque and Gown
on their first appearance in Port
land this season, a pronounced sue
cess. Another phase of the play,
which adds greatly to the credit of
the players. was the graceful man
ner in which the female parts were
impersonated by the cast.
Raymond Asnault. as George Nc
Farland, played the part Of the care

keeping the audience in an uproar
continually by the variety Of his es-
capades and his characteristic man

Believe Ne. Xantippe. That phrase
was once on nearly every American
tongue and formed the title of one
of. the most amusing and successful
American comedies. The phrase it
self has long since lost its place in
American slang and will probably
never regain it. The play however
will remain good for all time and al
ways scores a tremendous hit when
ever it is repeated. The Bowdoin
Dramatic Club were most wise in
selecting xantippe FOR presentation
throughout Maine this winter. Kan
tippe is play specially adapted to
amateur talent but the acting Of the
Bowdoin players is unusually high.
quite above that Of the common COL
lege production, and Xantippe as
presented by the Bowdoin players is
most enjoyable and we'll worth see

selfishness, narrowness and conser-
vatism of the people with whom he
lived and labored. In the announce

values. In denouncing all forms of
class and special privilege and the
declaration Of the great fact OF HUI

Roman Empire by the honor which
it brought to children, woman. and
