One of Manchester’s Oldest Resi- 
dents Passed Away Saturday. 
Henry 8S. Dennis, one of Manches- 
ter’s oldest citizens and largest 
property owners, died at his home 
on Bridge street, last Saturday even- 
ing from heart trouble. 
He ‘was born in Manchester 82 
years ago, and was a son of Capt. 
‘Richard C. of Beverly and Henrietta 
(Story) Dennis, of Manchester. In 
early life he went to sea with his 
‘father, on trading voyages to the 
West Indies and to the Grand 
Banks, out of Gloucester. 
Retiring from the sea he settled 
down in Manchester, married Me- 
lissa Ayers, and was 22 years care- 
taker of the estate of the late Wil- 
liam B, Mansfield, at West Manches- 
ter. Subsequently he worked in the 
same capacity for Gustave Schermer 
and Gardiner M. Lane. 
Mr. Dennis was a thrifty and in- 
dustrious man, and early began in- 
yestments in Manchester real estate. 
He foresaw the possibilities of ris- 
ing values on account of the demand

for property by the summer resi- 
dents, and when a woodlot or a field 
came onto the market at a low price 
he quietly bought it, and patiently 
waited till its value increased sev- 
eral fold, when he would sell at 
ereat advantage to himself. 
“He once bought in this way a 
large part of the estate now owned 
- by Major Henry L. Migginson; also 
a part of the Eben D. Jordan place. 
Mr. Dennis acquired a_ shrewd 
judgment of real estate values— 
not only actual, but potential— 
and in later life was often consulted 
on real estate matters. 
Ile was always a staunch support- 
er of the temperance and _ prohibi- 
tion laws; was a charter member of 
Magnolia lodge, I. O. O. F.; and at 
times interested himself in town 
polities. 
For his integrity and upright 
character he was much _ respected 
by his fellow townsmen, and _ the 
older members of the Manchester 
summer -colony, several of whom at- 
tended the funeral services, at his 
home, on Tuesday afternoon. Rev. 
A. G. Warner of the Baptist church, 
officiated at the funeral, and an 
escort of Odd Fellows followed the 
body to the grave. 
Mr. Dennis is the last surviving 
son of the large Richard Dennis 
family, but leaves three sisters: 
Mrs. Sarah’ Steven of Haverhill, 
Mrs. Dr. John A. Balecom and 
Mary. Herrick Ricker, of Lynn.

Pavlowa the Incomparable at the 
Boston Theatre. 
The former visits of Mlle. Anna 
Pavlowa and her Russian ballet or- 
ganization to Boston have met with 
such great success, and her follow- 
ing there has increased to such an 
extent that instead of remaining 
there for only one or two perform- 
ances, as she has done in the past, 
she will tarry there for an entire 
week of eight performances begin- 
ning Monday night, March Ist, at 
the Boston Theatre. This will be 
the longest ballet season Boston has 
ever had, and it is only exceeded by 
Mule. Pavlowa’s stay of ten days in 
Chicago this winter, and her run of 
four weeks at the Century Opera 
House in New York City. The 
larger capitals of Europe each have 
the Russian ballet for engagements 
of from four to ten weeks each year, 
and it is evident that America 1s 
fast becoming quite as appreciative 
of this art. 
A most varied and attractive 
repertoire will be presented at the 
Boston Theatre, including ballets 
‘hence an attractive novelty. 
produced in America for the first 
time this season. Two of these, 
‘““Seven Daughters of the Ghost 
King’ and ‘‘Flora’s Awakening,”’ 
are of the futuristic school now in 
ereat vogue in Russia and Germany, 
and both of a type new to this coun- 
try. Two others, ‘‘Amarilla’’ and 
‘“Raymonda,’’ are highly dramatic 
works, depicting well defined and 
romantic — stories. ‘‘Walpurgis 
Night’’ is a part of Gounod’s opera, 
“Maust,’? but is seldom given in 
performances of that opera, and is 
‘*Pup- 
pen-Fee’’ (‘‘The Fairy Doll’’), with 
its quaint toy shop, mechanical 
dolls and other ingenious concep- 
tions, adds humor and vivacity to 
the list. ““Chopiniana’*’ is a pure 
example of classic ballet, arranged 
by Mlle. Pavlowa and her ballet 
master M. Clustine, to music select- 
ed from Chopin. The Modern Ball- 
room Soiree displays the ballroom 
dances of today as standardized by 
these artists. Besides this list of 
ballets, a repertoire of sixty-five 
divertisements will be presented 
during the week. Matinees will be 
eiven Wednesday and Saturday and 
the prices for all performances will 
he 25e., 50c., 75e., $1.00, $1.50, $2.00 
and $2.50.
