LETTER FROM
MOTHERS Alder

Recipients Of mothers aid make
quarterly reports of their expenses
and income, and at the same time
usually write letter telling the State
Board how they are getting along
Mothers who might be very much
worried without the aid, are enabled
by this sure income, to face the
problem of bringing up family alone
with good courage. Most of the
mothers are quite buoyant and hope
full. The following Letter is character
istic:
State Board of Mothers Aid,
Augusta, Me.

have enjoyed the best of health this
winter. Have had no sickness. Am
getting ready for my spring work
Expect to plant a good garden this
year and hope I have as good luck
with it as I did last.
'I have a nice pile of fire-wood in
my door yard that two of my broth
ers. two nephews and some of the
ncighbors cut and hauled from my
pasture one day. They expect to get
a machine and saw it for me soon.
"Will start housecleaning next
week. Want to do little papering,
painting and vanishing. also white
washing. I appreciate all that is be-
ing done for me in my undertaking.

alis; Dramatic club under the auspices
of the Universalist Associates at the

i it will help much to make it so.
I Phil. Sylvester, generally admitted
to be one of the cleverest amateur
performers the city eas ever produc-
| ed, will be seen in tbs role of Josiah
Armstrong, the owner of Red Acre
Farm. The character is somewhat
different from those N which he has
usually appeared, but his work is Just
as high as it has been in other roles.
Alfred Eastman will appear s Col.
I Barnaby Strut a real modern An
anias; Don Metcalf as Jonah Jones, a
farm helper; Julian Beales as the
stern old man of the play; Ralph
Brown as Harry Harcourt, the real
william; Sam Mccall, as the hero and
G. Bryce Little as a travelling sales
man and theatrical manager.
The price of tickets for "Rcd Acre
Farm has been set al only 80 cents
so that it looks as if the vestry Of the

The play ran on Broadway and was
a decided hit. Zona Gale, an Amerl-
can novelist, is ohe author. The
story is typically American and
deals with a side of small town home
life not yet uncovered. The principal
character is the seemingly unattrac-
tive spinster sister-in-law of small
town Justice of the Peace and dent
ist. She has to depend upon him for
support and shelter, and thus she
automatically becomes the unpaid
family servant. Later, romance en-
ters into her life, only to increase
her troubles. After several bitter eX-
periences, however, everything clears
up for Lulu and happiness and love
are her reward.
Lois Wilson plays the role of the
girl. Theodore Roberts, Helen Fer
guson, Mabel Van Buren and others
of prominence are in the cast.
Miss Lulu Bett," is Zona Gales
greatest novel and play and now a
screen sensation! 1t gives inside
facts of American family life,
snatched from our parlors and por-
ches and held where the world may
see. The story of woman who
thirsted for love and whose nature
had always been starved. See what
she did to win happiness. And on
the same program a snappy two reel
comedy, a Selznick news and the
Opera House orchestra.
Evening prices will prevail at the
matinee today because Of the hol-

COLLEGE MEN iMPERSONATE
GIRLS
Fun and FroIic in U. Of M. Play, "A
Couple of Million" at City Hall
Saturday. Dance With Douglas
Orchestra at Close

The advance sale of reserved seats
for the Maine Masque comedy, "a
Couple of Million at Fletcher's
Pharmacy exceeded Tuesday the mt st
sanguine hopes of the promoters, the
Augusta Radio Club. All indications
point to crowded house to greet the
Maine Dramatic Club on it's 14th an
nual season at City Hall, Saturday,
April 90, at s o'clock sharp. AS far as
comedy goes the farce might as well
have teen called "The Play of a
Million Laughs" because from begin
ming to end giggles and gurgles come
in mirth- provoking profusion. It's
simply irresistible and the man or
woman doesn't live who wouldn't be
benefited by seeing "a Couple of
Million"
Scientists tell us that digestion is
improved and health promoted by
laughter. If that be so then "a
Couple of Million" is a panacea for
indigestion, gout and melancholia for
as laugh producer, III has no peer.
This modern farce comedy has for
theme the situation of young
man, who has been left a large for
tune by his remote uncle. According
to the will the obtaining of the fortune
is hedged about by many conditions
which make it seem as though the
young hero, Bemis Bennington. will be
unable to succeed in fulfilling all the
necessary requirements.
The plot is woven into an interest
ing story in which Bemis encounters
the many obstacles placed in his
path by Professor Noah Jabb, an un-
scrupulous opponent who is also
mentioned in the will of the de-
ceased uncle.
A charming little love story runs
throughout, adding much zest to a
hlShly entertaining prOolcton
This tour marks the fourteenth
annual season of the Maine Nasoue
Due to the boom thal the University
as a whole has experienced. the
Masque has been able to select for the
cast this year the best talent from
the student body of fourteen hundred.
The production is being staged under
the direction of Mr.. Moon of Bangor
man long experienced in the theatri-
cal world. The tour will include
performances in Augusta, Togus.
freeport, Millinocket. Greenville, Old
Town and Bangor.
The Masque has had many men in
the past who have gained distinction
in theatrical lines after graduation.
Windsor B. Daggett, for instance now
editor of the BILL Board" one of the
largest theatrical magazines; NAL
colin Fassett, lately playing on Broad
way. We're some of the many who
made their start in the cast of. the
