"Irene" Scheduled
For Showing Here

Irene" the great light opera, now
playing in New York and known to
New England theatre goers by rep
utation at least, is to be seen in Au-
gusta according to an announcement
made by Manager Appleby of the Au-
gusta theatres.
The company that will present
Irene" here is not the one that is
now playing in New York, but is the
big road company that will appear
and has appeared in all the big cities
outside of New York. 1t will play
Portland for a week, and will be seen
in Augusta before it goes to Lew
iston.
Several other announcements Of in
terest are also made by Manager
Appleby. Charlie Chaplin is to be
seen here in the big sixreel feature
The Kid" This big photo-play fea-
ture has already been seen in Port
land for a week and is to play a re-
turn engagement there. Manager
Appleby is to have the picture for
four days at the Opera house. He
feels that the people of Augusta are
so anxious to see the production that
a four day engagement is warranted.
Another big photoplay feature that is
coming is "Kismet," in which Otis
Skinner appears. Skinner is every
where recognized as one of America
greatest actors and in this production
he rises to new heights just as he
did in the stage version.

in order to keep within the appropri-
ations allowed by the Budget Com
nittee of the Legislature for admins
tration services and board and care
Of children, the board has found it
necessary to pass a formal vote in
structing it's secretary and agents Ito
make no personal investigation Of
complaints of neglect of children ex-
cept in those cases where it has be-
come evident that local officials are
wilfully neglecting or are unable to
take the necessary action to remedy
the condition complained of.
Relative to the foregoing, the fol-
lowing circular is being sent to all
OF the newly elected municipal
boards, the overseers of the poor,
Mothers Aid, and the Children S
Guardians, as soon as the addresses
of the chairmen and secretaries are
received at the State House from the
various town and city clerks:
During the past two years this de-
partment has tried in every way
possible to help Municipal Boards in
their problems involving the care of
children. The splendid spirit of CO.
operation and appreciation of these
efforts which local boards have
shown, has been very gratifying to
the State Board. it's Secretary and it's
entire field staff. 1t has been pleas
ure to work with them.
1.-THE time has now come when the
process must be, in a measure at
least, reversed. The number of chill
dren to be cared for has reached such
proportions that little time will be
left for the State Boards agents to
make initial Investigations in new
cases. This work must be left almost
entirely to the local boards. When
the local board has the facts in the
case, the State Board will be glad to
give advice if needed by mail or by
case can wait until the agent goes to
the city or town concerned for the
purpose of visiting the homes of chill
dren in the States care of mothers
asking or receiving aid.
"On the other hand the State Board
seeks the assistance of all members
and agents of local boards in finding
suitable homes for children, and in
seeing to it that these wards of the
State who are being cared for in
square deal. Suggestions, not only
from the local boards, but from citi-
zenS also, Will be Welcomed"

FATTY is IN
HIS ELEMENT
IN NEW COMEDY

All those Who attend the Augusta
Opera house today and Saturday will
realize that Fatty" Arbuckle is THE
Life of the PARTY" That is the name
of his first new tive-rcCl comedy and
if all that follow prove even one half
as good rs this then there viii be
merry ti!u,s in store for the movie
fans of the whole world
I'm The Life of the Party" the
rotund comedian is vamped by a
pretty siren, is stranded by drunken
driver when returning home from Il
party dressed in childrens rompers
and runs fOi mayor. The picture was
adapted from one of Irving Cobb's
humorous novelties that ran in the
Saturday Evening Post
'Fatty' plays the role of a young
lawyer, who, for the sake of a pretty
pair of eyes, undertakes to Lust the
; Milk Trust. His rival il love is a
dishonest judge, who is secretly in
league with the milk folks. The
judge seeks all manner Of means to
frame up" Roscoe, but is foiled in
/ the end. And of course. the rotund
! lawyer wins the girl
/ dttS mas InefIted ms promotion
! from two to five-rcelers. There al
, ways was a certain human element
in even the Arbucllla slapsticks that
other products of the cuStard pie
school lacked. Even in his most gro
tesque characteriZations Mr.. Ar
buckle has shown a keen insight into
human nature and flashes of talent as
a straight dramatic actor
Without slowing up in the least his
! making powers, THE Life of the

! an opportunity to broaden and de-
velop. Viola Daniel is Mr.. Arbuckle's

KEEN COMEDY
IN NEW HAWLEY
PLAY TODAY

An American college girl in an
American college story-that's the
rare and extremely good combination
that Manager Appleby offers at the
Colonial theatre for today. Wanda
Hawley will be seen there in "The
Snob,' which is the screen adaptation
of the famous Saturday Evening Post
story by William ]. Nedig. Those
who remember this wonderfully fas-
mating tale when it was printed will
recall that it was one of the bright
est and most satisfying of the many
big ones published in the great
weekly.
Miss FIaWley who is always good, is
especially satisfactory in this produc-
ton by Realart for she is a real COLI
lege girl herself and even taught
school at one time. Here is what
the charming star herself says about
the play:
Il am mighty happy to appear in a
college story, especially in a tale
(which carries such a wholesome
democratic spirit as The Snob.'
Those of you who read the story in
the Saturday Evening Post will re-
call that l play wealthy girl who
falls in love with college football
hero, only to snub him on learning
that he waits on table in college
dining hall. His friends, however, de-
termine to teach her a lesson. And
they do! The heroine comes to real
lie what snob she has been-and
what splendidly democratic place
an American college really is. It's a
dandy plot and puts American college
life in just the light l like best"

edy on the Colonial program today.
