The Good Listener.

A young woman has risen to fame
on the American stage by peculiar
route. The story Of how opportunity
came knocking at her door and found
her in has just come out in a news
paper interview. 1t is simply this:
She ''listened her way" into stardom.
IN the background Of many a man Of
genius you will find a good listener
usually a woman-to whom they could
pour out their minds. Four such may
be named: ~Balzac, the novelist; the
composers, Wagner and Tschaikowsky,
and the artist, Michelangelo. There Is
no question but that the good listening
of four remarkable women fertilized
the minds Of the gifted men. The
records are in their letters. Good
listening is lay confessional 1t Is
one of the fine arts.

"The Real Thing"

Hancock hall was filled last Fri
day evening for the presentation of
the comedy-drama, "The Real
Thing" by an amateur cast, under
the auspices of the Congregational
society. The play averaged we'll
with amateur productions here re-
Gently, which is saying much, for
Ellsworth amateurs have the bene-
fit of the able direction of Fred E.
Cooke. The play was we'll received.
1t went off with few of the dead
centers" that characterize many anna
teur performances. The cast of
characters was as follows:
Miss Aurora Saunders Matte Royal
Waiter ............ Edwin E. Royal
Mrs. John Mortimer DeRister,
Hazel Giles
Jim Duffy .......... Albert H. Davis
Miss Madge DeRister,
Mrs. Harry L. Crabtree
Mr.. Clifford DeRister,
Llewellyn c. Fortier
Harold Struthers Harvey M. Pickett
Miss Dorothy DeRister,
Elleneen Doyle
Mr.. John DeRister, George S. Brookes
Suzette .......... Dorothy Crabtree
Dick Murphy. Herbert G. Farnsworth
1t Is pleasing to know that the
affair was also a financial success,
the net proceeds being about $40.
1t Is proposed to use this for the
construction Of tennis courts on the
site of the present chapel, when the
building is removed in the work of
constructing the vestry in the base
ment of the church.
The fame of the play has spread,
and invitations have been received
to present it at Bar Aarbor and
West Eden. 1t is probable that the
play will be given at West Eden
next week,

 AT LIBERTY TONIGHT

J. Warren Kerrigan will be seen on the screen of the Liberty Theater tonight in "One Dollar Bill" which is screen adaptation of Credo Har- ris' romantic novel of the Kentucky hills which was published few years ago under the title of Toby"
 The story offers exceptional oppor- tunity for the kind of work in which MT. Kerrigan has achieved his fore most successes. Early in the action of the play he is seen as young man of refinement who has sunk to the lowest ebb. cast aside by the whites, he lives in a negro hut. no one knowing or caring who he is or from whence he came. As the story develops, he rises under the influ- ence of girl of high ideals until at last he becomes one of the dominat- ing factors of the town which had summed him as an outcast
 The entire theme is interwoven with strong situations and romantic moments, to all of which MT Kerri- gan arises with that charm of man. ner which has been responsible for his phenomenal success as delinca- tor of screen types.
