BEAUCAIRE WAS
WELL PRESENTED
Woman's Club Give Famous Historical
Novel Monday and Tuesday
Evenings

Monsieur Beaucaire, famous histori-
cal play from Booth Tarkington's novel
of the same name, was successfully pre-
scented by a capable local cast in the
Town hall Monday and Tuesday un-
der the auspices of the Woman's club.
The parts were especially well hand
led and the Interpretation of the bright
comedy reflected plainly the effort and
work the members of the cast and
producers had expended to give a fin
ished production
Every member of the cast caught the
spirit of the piece and gave a faithful
and interesting picture of the debon-
nair days of Louis Quinze, To add to
the completeness of the production,
special appropriate scenes were used
and attractive costumes htting the
period gave a gay touch of color.
Special music by the Music depart
ment of the club was also given. The
play was for the benefit of the district
nurse fund.

II Did Come Suddenly.

An unusually interesting cOmmuni-
cation was received by a New York
life insurance company from the Dahl
strOm Metallic Door company of Chi
cago. A letter pointing out the adj
vantages of insurance, was mailed to
Mr.. Dahstrom on November 1G, 1920.
A part Of this letter read as follows
"Have you ever thought that your
turn may come suddenly. Suppose it
did" The answer to this supposi.
ton, as written by some unknown per-
son, is as follows: ut did. He's

IN PUBLIC EYE
Thomas H. Noonan, Now County
Judge In Buffalo

The following from the Buffalo In
quirer will be Of interest to local read
ers:
When Thomas II. Noonan, county
Judge was young fellow he lived
with his folks on a 800 acre farm in
Vermont and they had a herd of 80 or
more cows and Tom walked a couple
of miles daily to and from school, so
he learned how to do his chores ex-
peditiously and found that the best
way to handle work was to put it be-
hind a fellow rather than in front.
Since he donned the judicial robes in
stead of farm toys to do his work in
he has applied his early learning as well
as that he got in college and the law.
1t pans out pretty well as the record
shows. OF 70l sentences imposed in
handling the Erie county criminal bus
mess last year County Judge Noonan
pronounced 492 OF 1871 criminal cases
tried 1903 were before him That doesn't
account for the civil business which
was plenty. When you figure it out
you'll allow the county judge earns
his pay.
Judge Noonan's picture shows him as
he sits on the bench when at work
off the bench he doesn't look half
so stern. But then at his country
home on the Lake Shore road in Evans
he doesn't exert himself anywhere near
so persistently as he does when in city
hall or as he had to on the New Eng
land farm before he had any idea of
being Judge or lawyer His Evans
place contains about seven acres and
the judge proudly announces that he
raises corn, potatoes, beets, cabbages,
pumpkins and blisters that can't be
beat anywhere.
Judge Noonan has been prominent in
public affairs for years. He came to
Buffalo in 1894. That was before he
got into the public eye. He was born
in Ferrisburg, VT, in 1865, attended
Middlebury college in that state and
then as a young man studied law with
Thomas II. Swift OF Potsdam, Swift
later becoming judge of the court OF
claims, When Lawyer Noonan came
to Buffalo he buckled into general prac-
tice and also took a hand in Republi-
can party affairs He was United
States loan commissioner for matter
OF ten years and Under Attorney Gen
erll O'Mallev had charge of Agrjcul-
tural cases uD this way because he
knew the difference between real milk
and what some folks were selling, as
wei as between the civil code and the
traffic cop code Then in 1911 he was
elected Judge of the city court and in
that court he served for eight years,
helping put it in a position where the
Legislators recognized they made no
mistake in substituting it for the old
morning justice and municipal court
system.
From the city court Judge Noonan
was nominated and elected to the
county judgeship he now holds, and as
he likes judicial work his friends expect
he will be advanced to the supreme
court when the opportune time comes.
Judge Noonan lives in the city at
No. lSS Richmond avenue, when he

Headline Race at Lyric

Three acts run a close race for head
line honors at the Lyric this week.
The Novelle brothers have an ex-
ceptionally clever novelty act. They
certainly live up to the billing OF an
other act in vaudeville known as
The Classy Clowns" They do
tumbling stunts while playing violin
and a funny whistling bit in which
they initiate a bird Irritation.
Johnny Elliott and company is an
other bright spot on the bill. They
impersonate well-known dancers. The
act is cleyely arranged.
The Riding Costellos equestrian
stars, give a circus atmosphere to the
bill. They do some clever riding and
have some well-trained horses.
Hayden, Hall and Snyder bill them
selves az The Three Senator's" but
appear in bartenders' attire. They
are three big jovial fellows who handle
comedy we'll and put over some har-
mony songs.
Though Billie Roder pulls some old
stuff in his stories, he makes up for
it by singing several brand new com
edy songs. He just about tied UP the
show with his closing number.
Oliver and Lee have some clever
comedy material and know how to use
il. The male member Of tho team is
a past master at playing a banjo-uke.
Tile and Tide. in one Of the most
clever comedy pantomime acts that
has appeared in this house for some
time, and Noblet and Ogden, two girls
in a comedy act, complete the bill.

tin lizzy to illustrate his remarks this
season. Reid is known as 1.-THE In

tial Evidence" Reid appears as THE

Alfred Latell, who is easily the best
impersonator Of animals before the
public, is a winner near the finish of
the show by impersonating a dog.
During the revue several song num-
bers are introduced. This show is
not as deliberately equipped with
scenery as the two Shubert shows
which have preceded it. The chorus
is not so strong on looks, and fair
as to voice.
