Fine Comedy Drawer
At Silver Theater

one of the best comedy dramas
that has ever come out of New
York is bSjng presented this week
by the Pearl Young Players at the
Silver theatre The play referred
to is 1.-THE Show Or by George
Kelly.
There is hardly a weakness In the
entire cast and the portrayal of the
roles is exceptionally good. The
character of the clustering son-in-
law. Aubrey Piper. as pictured by
Paul Parr Smith will certainly be de-
spised by the audience, but 1t will
be found. however, that he gives
convincing emphasis to the role.
1.-The Show OFF" deals almost in
it's entirety with the clash between
a loudspoken son-in-law and the
members of his wife's family. prin-
cipally the mother. However, he
successfully pulls the wool over the
eyes of his wife, who thinks him
simply wonderful. Unwittingly he
contributes an important part to the
success of his brother-in-law, al
though he is forever getting into
scrapes from which he is dragged
out by others. Though troubles
come in avalanches, they fail to
break his spirit of arrogance, which
he retains to the final drop of the
curtain.
Mr.. Smith, in the role of Aubrey
Piper (The Show Off is well sup
ported by we'll selected cast, which
makes the play one that gives de-
light to everybody.

their way up to the eighth level from
another level almost a mile from the
earth's surface, and found ladders
extending from the eighth level in
fair condition. They threw ropes and
power lines across a thirty foot
chasm and with the daring Of tight
rope walkers skipped across to the
hope of imprisoned men to be greet
ed by Tom Trewartha, a sturdy mine
boss who reported all hands well.
Rescue workers tapped signal on
an iron pipe shortly before they
reached the men. receiving a signal
in reply.
Shortly thereafter food and car
bid lights were en- route to the men,
while preparations on the surface
were made to remove them to hos
pitfalls for treatment and to relieve
them of their damp and soggy cloth
ing.
Soup, coffee. cigarettes, chewing
tobacco and fuel and their lamps
comprised the first load of relief
supplies.
The 43 men had descended the
shaft to the twentieth level while
they were imprisoned, but as there
was no tunnel connecting the goth
and 21st levels, they were unable to
come further down and then cross
horizontal passages to other shafts
Of the mine.
The miners who climbed in the
dark down 1900 feet Of the shaft
from the eighth to the twentieth
levels were unable to reach the goth
level because the shaft was wrecked
in that place and there was no way
of stepping over the thirty feet from
the ladder on one side to the opening
on the other.
In climbing up it was necessary in
one place to put a few rails across
the obstruction in the shaft and part
of the way the rescuers crossed the
obstruction on rails and then crossed
back to the shaft ladders.
About a dozen ladders were lower
ed in the cage Immediately and hun
dreds of feet of heavy planks were
sent down also The ladders replaced
makeshifts in the shaft and the
planks were used to improve the
bridge and to put up protecting stag
ing.
A physician went down the first
detail of rescue workers and sup
plies which were carried in canvas
sacks slung over their shoulders, to
enable them to climb down the lad
ders more easily. The soup and cof-
fee was carried in vacuum bottles.
TIL men were fed late today and
were given a few hours to rest,
while the safety work was being
done in the lower part Of the shaft
and the ladders repaired. They
planned to come to the surface to-
night.

surrounding coutry.
Rangeley Lakes. Removal Of
bounty on bear has stopped summer
trapping and they are increasing
rapidly. Fine hunting expected this
Fall"
THE status Of the black bear at
present is this" said Miss Hodgdon:'
He is not protected. that is, there
is no closed season, but the State no
longer pays a bounty on bear, as was
formerly done, and there Is thus no
reason for killing them out Of sea-
son, as the hides are of no value
then. Under the present arrangement
1t is necessary to procure hunting
license in order to shoot bear. or a
trapping license if one wishes to trap
them"
Most experienced hunters now con-
slider the bear the finest of all Maine
game. Many hunters who visit the
Big Woods annually, in sections
where bear are known to abound,
have never caught sight Of one. The
bear is equipped with wonderfully
keen scent, and can detect the pres
ence of hunter at a distance Of at
least half mile when the wind con-
ditions are right. His hearing is
equally good, and 1t is a very diff
cult matter to get within gunshot Of
a bear under ordinary hunting con-
ditions.
Contrary to popular belief, the bear
has very poor eyesight, and would
fall an easy victim to the hunter II
he had to depend upon his vision for
protection. He is short-sighted, and
will eto ~ ir<
tently at an object quite close to him
in an effort to make out what 1t is.
Each season many, many hunters
come in with downcast expression
and tale of woe about the bear that
they have hit and lost. This Is due
partly to the fact that bear carries
a thick layer of fat over the meat
under his glossy hide, and this will
close up when a bullet passes
through. preventing the usual tell
tale signs Of blood which make
tracking a wounded animal easy No
matter how hard he Is hit, a bear
often fails to bleed much externally.
Hunters who are deliberately
planning to hunt bear are advised to
select a heavy rifle for this purpose,
in any event nothing smaller than a
30-30, and for preference a SO or 35
caliber or larger. These big bullets
invariably deliver shocking blow
sufficient to put even a large bear
down for keeps. while the lighter,
faster bullets of the 25 class fire.
quently fail to stop this rugged game
animal.
1t has been estimated that for
every bear that is brought out of the
Maine woods by hunters, three or
four get away wounded, and large
percentage of these wounded ami
mails undoubtedly die later on, and
are absolutely wasted.
1t is generally waste Of ammuni-
ton to hit a bear anywhere except
through the foreshoulders or head,
or directly behind the shoulders. A
paunch shot will not stop one, even
with the heaviest Of American-made
arms.
