Road Repair Notes

Certain towns, which had obtained
appropriations for repairs Of roads
from the last Legislature. were
anxious to have the work done be-
fore that States money was avail
able and were by Council order au-
thorized from time to time to go
ahead and do the work, with the un-
Outstanding that they were to wait
for the Legislative resolves to be
operative, for their pay. The money
was then given them. The following

order presented at the last Council

Last Four Times to.
See "The Old Nest"

This afternoon and evening and to-
morrow are all that remain of the
engagement of 1.-THE Old Nest" at the
Opera House. Prior to its presenta-
ton the management made many
seemingly lavish claims for it, but
each and every one of these was
more than borne out by the produc-
ton itself. 1.-The Old Nest" has COM
pletely established itself as one of the
most wonderful attractions that has
ever been seen at the Opera House.
1t is representative of the true high
water mark in photoplay entertain
ment and what is more the manager
does not feel that this mark is apt to
be disturbed for some time to come.
The story carries universal appeal,
and is one of the most remarkable
contributions that have ever come
from the brilliant pen Of Rupert
Hughes. A truly remarkable cast has
been gathered together for the enac-
ton Of the various roles, which is
headed by Mary Alden. Miss Alden,
long known as a consummate actress,
comes into her own by the splendor
of her performance in 1.-THE Old
Nest" She is cast as the little, lone
some mother, who sees her family
not only grow up, but grow away
from her, and she and her husband
are confronted with the tragedy of
being left alone through all the COM
ing years, in the empty, silent house.
the old nest. Under the direction of
Reginald Barker. and produced with
all of the thoroughness for which
Goldwyn is noted, 1.-The Old Nest" is
a photoplay destined to endure just
as long as the silver sheet is what it
is. 1t is symbolic of the finest art
and traditions of the silent drama,
and in playing it four days the Opera
House showed it's own conception of
it's worth. The 'matinees begin at
els, with twenty-five cents as the adj
mission, and the night show at 730,
when twenty-five and thirty five
cents are the prices.
There is the Opera House Orches-
ira. and special singer and stage
setting for this picture.-Adv.
