will surely want to be on hand to
see this truly big picture.
This is the day when the first
change of bill comes, for in addi-
ton to a new picture being shown,
an entirely different musical COM
edy will be offered by Tommy Le-
vene and the Oh-U- Baby company.
1t is called ooh, Izzy" and is said to
be SO full of pep, punch and pulchri-
tude that it even surpasses the Of
fering of the first two days of the
week. and hundreds who saw that
thought it could hardly be improv-
ed upon.
Tommy Levene is funnier than
ever, if that is possible. Frank
Murray has improved, too, and the
pair have not yet failed to keep the
audience in a continual roar of
laughter. Able assistance is given
these two comedians by the other
members of the company, among
whom should be mentioned the
young, shapely and decidedly lively
Oh baby chorus.
Especially worthy Of note are the
dazzling new electrical effects pro-
vided with the production which
help to show off in all their fresh
beauty the extensive display Of cos
tunes worn by the company.-Adv.

N. D. HANSON
DROVE STEAM
CAR IN 1893.
Portland Photogra-
pher Among First in
the State
Everyone in Forest City Wondered at
I Temerity Of Man in Riding in Such
a Thing. Used it for Some Months
and Sold IL for what il Cost

Portland, Feb. 2s-(Special to
Kennebec Journal.)-Maynard d.
Hanson. well known photographer,
who has been the pioneer in
good many movements in Port
land, has the distinction Of being
the first man to own and operate an
automobile within the city. limits.
Twenty lone years ago last July
Mr.. Hanson startled the Inhabitants
of the Forest City by whizzing up
Congress street in his horseless vehi-
Gle, and the coming of the Barnum
& Bailey circus never excited such a
furore in the hearts OF Juvenile Port
land as did his appearance in this
queer contraption in the hearts of
grown-up Portland.
1t was in July 1899, July 18th to be
exact, that this automobile arrived
in Portland. 1t was Stanley steam
er, predecessor of the present day,
smooth running and luxurious Stan
ley. 1t was shaped exactly like a
{ topless buggy. the sold difference be-
ing that it lacked shafts. 1t had
wire wheels, of the same kind as
those used on bicycles only some
what larger, and carried two Inch
tire. Beneath the seat was a boiler
which carried about two gallons of
water, and there was provision also
for carrying about five gallons of gas
olinc, the fuel with which the fire
was obtained to generate the steam.
| 1t weighed somewhere from $50 to
GOO pounds. and it would make, under
the most favorable conditions, about
so miles an hour. Instead of steer
hing wheel such as the modern auto
mobile has, the Stanley was operated
with tiller arrangement which was
handled with the left hand while the
throttle was controlled with the right
There were no lights on it.
The Stanley was upholstered in
cloth, la buggy and the body was
very largely of wood. Water tank
ard boiler were of copper. The en-
CINE was perpendicular instead of
horizontal in position as it is in the
pre- sent day car. This horseless We
hicle would hold only two people.
! Mr. Hanson was the owner of the
! first Stanley that was ever driven.
Just about the time that Mr.. Han
sons car was manufactured a
car was made for George Gould
of the famous New York family, but
Mr.. Gould was in Europe when the
| time came for the car to be delivered
and so it was held at the factory
while Mr.. Hanson's was shipped to
| him. ,4
The longest trip he ever made In
! his first Stanley was to Lewiston and
Auburn. In the second Stanley
which he purchased, and which was
very similar to the first, however, he
ventured as far as Boston. He had
frequent invitations to exhibit Stan
ley No. at county fairs, but turned
a deaf ear to these entreaties.
He did, however, enter some races
at Westbrook with the car. Usually
when driving he refrained from run
ming up more than $50 pounds of
steam, but on the occasion of these
racing experiences he threw caution
| to the winds and showed the gauge up
to 500 pounds. The incident was
| without accident and the little Stan

ley acquitted herself very creditably.
One great advantage of this hrst
automobile Of his, according to Mr..
Hanson's story. was the fact that II
did not depreciate at all In value by
being driven as the modern cars are
considered to do. Mr.. Hanson bought
the car In July. drove it any day and
every day for some months and then
sold 1t for exactly what he paid for 1t.
