Splendid Variety
Entertainment Tonight
In Annual "Y Tidbits"

From the manner in which the va
rious chorus and speciality numbers
Of "Ys Tidbits" were presented last
night at the dress rehearsal. there is
little doubt that the entertainment
will be one of the best Juvenile pre-
sensations seen in this city for some
time. The boys rose to the occasion
in grand style and put their stun over
with a bang which should be dupli-
Gated on the two nights of the presen-
tation.
Among the speciality numbers Is one
entitled big Chief Battle Axe" fea-
turing Melvin Mower as the big chief
in question. and Percy Norcross as an
Indian princess. A chorus of four lit
tie Indians. Carleton Bagley. Charles
Hunt, assist with this act and 1t
makes a very colorful scene.
Frederick Brown presents a number
as "Huck Finn" and he Is certainly
there when it comes to portraying the
character of Huck. He is so 1ifelike
that he reminds one of leaf out Of
Mark Twain.
Albert Baker with buck and wing
dance in which he puts in plenty OF
new steps. and Eddie Bechard with 4
scarecrow dance, are sure to please.
and a duet dance by the two should
take the house by storm.
The first presentation of this show
will take place this evening at the Y.
NJ. c. A. gymnasium and it will be re-
peated tomorrow night.

OF WOMEN
VOTERS HEARS talk
ON CONSTITUTION

There was a goodly gathering at
the meeting of the Augusta League
of Women Voters in the assembly
hall at the Y. NJ. G. A. building,
Tuesday evening, which was address
ed by Hon. William X. Pattangall of
this city. The talk by Mr.. Pattangall
was on the Federal Constitution and
followed brief business meeting of
the League.
The speaker very clearly and con-
>cisely gave the history of the writ
ing of the constitution from it's be-
ginning, tracing the growing needs
of the country through it's various
amendments. He spoke of the fact
that the constitution impresses us
with it's brevity and simplicity
the original constitution containing
only seven articles.
The United States was the first
great nation to have written con-
stitution, Mr.. Pattangall told his
hearers. He gave the subject of
each amendment down to the pres
ent time and declared that the fact
that only seven amendments have
been adopted since 1864 proves that
the people have not been hasty to
accept amendments.
We have had successful govern
mcnt because the constitution was
broad and elastic. was another state
ment by the speaker. His discussion
of the proposed Child Labor amend
ment was particularly interesting TO
the members of the League. The
entire address was listened to with
the closest of attention and interest.

Augusta amay have the first bona
fide outdoor automobile show in
Maine and in New England as the
result of the enthusiastic reception
of tentative plans suggested to q
group of the local automotive dealers
by Acting Secretary James Geracos
of the Augusta Chamber of Com
merce at an informal meeting Of the
dealers at the c. of c. rooms late
Tuesday afternoon.
The show would also be something
of an official opening of the newly
paved and improved Commercial
street project, as the tentative plans
are for the big outdoor exposition
to be held on that splendid new
thoroughfare and parking esplanade.
1t is suggested that the display could
be held for one full day and evening,
and it is believed that such venture
would attract hundreds Of visitors
and prospective purchasers to the
city.
The recently improved and widen
ed Commercial street, from Winthrop
to Bridge streets, would be set Oft
for the exposition. Dealers in auto

cycles would be assigned certain
spaces on each side of the thorough
fare, and the street would be closed
to traffic. so that the interested pub
lie might pass along he lanes be-
tween the display and have an OPP
portunity to thoroughly inspect the
various makes Of pleasure and COM
mercial cars.
1t has been suggested that such an
outdoor show would have several
real advantages over an indoor exhi-
bition, as the dealers and statesmen
could demonstrate the merits of their
particular machines. with motors
running, without the usual obnoxious
odor of exploded fuel and burning
oil. and with absolutely no fire haz-
ard.
The street could be attractively
decorated for the event, with special
illumination for the evening hours OF
the exhibit. The preliminary plans
call for the erection of a temporary
platform near the new comfort sta
ton at Oak street, on which would
be Stationed a band to furnish a pro-
gram of music. The street is clean
and wide, and within a few weeks
the conditions would be close to per-
feet for such an effort.
There were representatives of five
Of the local automobile agencies
present at the meeting yesterday aft
ernoon. many of the Augusta dealers
being in Boston in attendance at the
annual show at Mechanics building.
All of those who heard the tentative
plans were most enthusiastic over
the possibilities and as soon as the
automobile merchants can arrange
for meeting the plans will be con-
sidered in detail and some definite
action will be taken toward carrying
out the project.

charmingly presented by a group of

AND PlAUDITS OF AUGUSTA FOLKS

as she carried the spring blossoms in
her hand.
Her program was varied. There
was the most difficult and the most
simple. Many Of her songs she clever
~ introduced and explained their
meanings. Her audience was delight
ed to hear her voice. It Is rich, deep.
and has in it that New England twang
which the years of training In foreign
schools has dealt kindly with. She is
unassuming and perfectly frank in her
manner of speech and her spoken
words, coming in well-pitched modu-
lation, proved another asset In VIM
ming her audience.
Her program was arranged as roi-
lows:
Pur dicesti, bocca bella IottD,
Hank, bark, the Lark (Schubert, Song
Of Synnove (KjerulD. staendchen
Orchard Strauss), Ach die Quaien
(PaderewskD, aria una Voce poro
fac from the Barber of Seville) (Ros-
sind, Mandoline Debussy). Song OF
the Hebrew Maiden (MoussorgskE)'
Mar iag blef sutton ar (swedish),
I'm wcarin' away tFoote), Lo hear
the gentle Lark (Bishop).
Her encorea, coming in variety,
were Surprisingly delightful. She
chose for one. The Song o. the
Lass" which she had given that ar
ternoon at the Blaine mansion ana
which she explained had been writ
ten for her by Samuel Richards
Gains. In this, a Scotch song. the
depth and the sweet and haunting
minor quality of her voice was
brought out. THE Fox and the
Hare" was another clever encore.
The shades and lights OF feeilng
were so cleverly portrayed in TINS
little number that spontaneous ap-
plause was her prompt reward.
You must all be heartily tired
Of me by now" she said. after hav-
ing been urged to appear for the
second encore at the close OF her
regular program. But l will sing a
little lullaby for YOU" The words
She sang were in foreign tongue,
but the mother instinct, the same
the world over, found fervent ex-
preston from the lips of the
strangely successful Bangor girl.
Miss Miriam Gideon of Brookline,
Mass, was accompanist to Kathleen
McAlister and she was most SYM
pathetic and painstaking in her sup
port. The audience was very en-
thusiastic over the singer and what
they lacked in volume they made Up
in the whole heartedlr appreciation
which they demonstrated.

The recital appearance of Kath-

publicity line and there are many
kinds of publicity. But everything
that has been said of her in a com
pllmentary sense. praising her voice.
Ter histronic ability. her poise. her
personality. was staunchly verified
by her appearance in Augusta Tues
day. In the afternoon Miss Meal
lister appeared at the Blaine Mansion
upon the invitation Of Mrs Ralph 0.
Brewster. There, s the guest of the
first lady OF the State. she fascinated
her audience with her delightful per-
sonality. She sang for them and
further strengthened the impression
which she had made.
At the concert Tuesday evening
Kathleen McAlister was lovely, dark,
Vivacious and willowy in sea green

Her dress was made in long lines and
lifted her slender form to perfection
Her long white Ems were left bare
from the shoulders and in her hand
she carried a bouquet of violets with

been presented to her that afternoon
by her hostess. Mrs. Brewster. She

President Sills spoke of the activi-

tact that Bowdoin is unique among
colleges because Of its peculiar char
ter. The charter was granted by the
commonwealth of Massachusetts be-
lore Maine became a state, and for
that reason the charter cannot be
changed without the consent of the
college and of the people of Massachu-
setts. This has been definitely estab-
lished by famous decision handed
down by Judge story.
lie declared that Bowdoin is the last
stronghold OF the traditional New Eng
land college of culture and that it is
their intention to retain that stand
ing and not to become a university.
Governor Brewster touched upon
this latter point, stating that in these
changing and chaotic times there is
great need for the seadying New
England influence which is developed
