[ A t the Fairbanks Theatre, Mon-; day, January’18th, j Among the notable local theatrical events is thn appearance a t the Fairbanks Theatre, Tuesday, Janu ­ ary m b of George M. Cohan’s rural musical play “F ifty Miles from Boston** under the direction of Messrs, Coban and HarriB. I t is said th a t the setting ot the Cohan musical play gives the author the oesfc opportunity to develop th a t pe­ culiar vein of humor th a t has d is­ tinguished all his productions. Be­ fore tlio play was written, the little village of Brookfield had i.estled. among the bills of Massachusetts in U b sublime obscurity. But when Mr, Cohan selected i t as the scene of “ Fifty Miles from Boston” it in ­ advertantly sprung into popularity, resulting not a little in advancing the real estate interests of th a t sur- burb. The story is th a t of the pret­ ty postmistress, “ Sadie Woodis” engaged to m a rry the Harvard crack ball player, Joe Wescott, and beset by the advances of Dave Har- riganan unfavored suitor. In or­ der to compromise Sadie, Dave sug- ged%tbat Joe Woodis, her brother, take some money from the post- office to bet against the Harvard team. This is done;and the money is lost. • Joe is made a thief j bu t if he can induce his sister to. give up Joe and mafry Dave the la tte r will advance tbe stolen money and keep Joe out of jail. Chief among the musical numbers th a t have gained a wide popularity are “Waltz with Me,” “Jack and J ill,” “Harrigan" “The Boys Who F igh t the Flames” “ M> Small Town Cal,” “Aiu!t I t Awful.” Messrs. Cohan, and Harris have provided a large chorus of boys and girls, and a competent and' well selected cast including: Douglas Stevenson, Frank Batman, Walter P. Richardson* John Sparks George-' Dodson, H a t E . Bloom, Frank Darien, MayMaurice* ion ise Carver, Beatrice Golden, Charlotte Gray and Catherine Ferry. Featured among the theatrical' announcements of coming attrac­ tions is the welcome news tha t M-tssrs. Cohan and H a rris have a r­ ranged to present a t the Fairbanks Tuesday, January 18th th e mash Gaescfcs SC. Ohfcan r Riatrard Carle is opeof the unique person* of th e American stage. He, fa au thor, composer, ly ric writer, stage manager, dancing instructor, s ta r comedtau and producer. He, not only writes his own plays but he provides much of the music, ar­ ranges the dances, prepares the sketches for the scenery, produces and manages, his plays, thereby drawing salary1as a star, drnwing royalties from his songs and partic­ ipating in Urn n e t profits as manat ger. Mr. Carle is still on the sunny side of forty. Ho was horn in Somerville, M obs ., a snrburh of Bos*on. He was christened Charles 3>T. Carleton. His father, Edgar W. Oarleton,. s till lives in Somerville. According to th e father, everything ind icated a stage career for the son from earliest youth. When he WasBtill m Ilia kilts, young Carle- ton strung a wire screen across an nnnsed wagon loft, mounted some old chintz curtains and gave shows in which he fnrmshed the whole entertainment. The admission fee was ten nails and the receipts were cashed at a junk dealer’s. When ho was 15 or 10, young Ckrleton fed his stage fever with frequent bu t fugitive trips to the old Howard Athauaeum m Boston. There in exchange for admission, he passed out programs--a, tall, gawky hoy with light hair, spectac­ les and an imitation fur cap, With the ftcconsprt ying car muffs, tied together atop* He lmd a keen eye for Homervillo faces and when ho saw a neighbor coming he Intro­ duced the novelty of passing oat programs behind his hack. To got himself out nights he elected him­ self a member of a mythical club which had for Jls recreations whist, alcigh1 riding, candy pulling and spelling matches. “ I t is strange your, club never meets Atour house,” observed his father. “ Yes, it is strange,” replied the son. “ huf our club is very peculiar” Watching the old-timers a t the Howard was an inspiration toyoung Carleton.. Several of the men now prominent in amusements used to b* great favorites a t the old music hall, and lie longed to he able to sing, dance and do funny J a ils as they did. The Idea of the legitimate stage also orcured to him, for mice in a day dream he had printed this card, which he quietly slipped to his mother one morning; , *' RKTfAKD u a b l h DOHTON M W M ’M. His mm her beamed upon him fond ly a s she saw him in perspec tir» g rfp :e**n talm ; actor. “ But I never dared show th a t card to faihor, who was sitting Herns* the f*Me,” declare* the com- adian, However he clung to H mg “Tbe Man of the Hour,” the great dramatic, success of recent years, comes to the Fairbanks, on Wed­ nesday, matinee aud night, Janu* ary 20, where as elsewhere a ll over America, i t will excite enormous interest and discussion. “The Man of the Honr” is a vivid, vital Ame­ rican play by George Broadhurst. i t is no more drama of politics, al­ though i t has been discussed and written about bj* pub lic . men of every political creed. Its theme of municipal honesty is of v ital impor­ tance to every believer in good cit­ izenship. I ts delightfully human love story pleases women, I t inter* eats tho young just as deeply as those of elder aud more serious thought. I t is an object lesson in hOttoBty and clean living tnatleaves upon the mind of every boy and girl who seesit. This play is tho­ roughly American to its core. Its characters are fiesh and blood peo­ ple who act, speak and move jusl as in familiar every day life. There is not a city of over £0,000 Inhabi­ tants between Portland, Maine, a rd Portland, Oregon, tha t docs not contain these clearly defined' types with all their faults and virtues. There is a wonderfully strong cast for production here, made up of the people who have been most eminent in the tong city runs. Among them are Uyril Scott, of “ Prince Chap” fame. Harry Harwood, llapley Holmes, James B, Wilson, William Dewing, Edward LeSaint, Charles Stcdman, Albert Parker, Thomas F. Tracy, M. J , Cody, Basil West, Alma Powell, Marion Chapman and Kate Lester.

Stewart against th* Reformed Presbyterian church, ;came up in Conunen Pleas court be­ fore Judge Clark, .of Lebanon, ‘Tues­ day, in the matter of the distribu­ tion of proceeds from the sale of the old Third United Presbyterian church property.at Market and Cob iumbus streets, The proceedi amount to $1383.31. The Second. United Presbyterian church, into which thoThird was merged sever­ al years ago, claims the proceeds, but in a cross petition the Reformed Presbyterian congregation of Cedar- v iileset up a claim for the money on the grounds th a t the eongrega. tion, which formerly occupied, the clniroh did not adhere to the West­ minster Confession of Faith, on which condition i t was deeded the property by Daniel MacMillan in 1840. The old Third church comprised originally tha t portion of the Mas- sie’s Creek Reformed Presbyterian church, which came to Xenia when the congregation divided in those early days, The other portion lo cafsd in cedarville, where it is still flourishing as tlie Reformed Pres­ byterian church, but the Xenia con­ gregation united with the United Presbyterian church in 1870, and finally abandoned the. property for church purposes. Upon thisalleged violation of the contract by which the Congregation became the pos­ sessor of fhe property, is the claim of the Oedarville church based. Judge Clark reserved his dc-elSion— Gazette.
