MANCHESTER, 
Church notes will be found this 
_ week on page 22. 
Miss Dora Marshall has come home 
_ from Wheaton Seminary to spend the 
Christmas holidays with her parents, 
_ Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Marshall. 
Miss Grace Merrill, who is attend- 
ing the Walnut Hill School for girls, 
has returned for the Christmas vaca- 
tion which she will spend at home. 
An account of the meeting of the 
young men in the Town hall last ev- 
ening, looking toward the organiza- 
tion of an athletic association, will be 
found on page Io. 
Now that Mayor Fitzgerald of Bos- 
ton has politely censured Miss Mary 
Garden for her performance of La 
Tosca and has performed the honors 
for Miss Gaby Deslys, and given her 
the keys of the city, it is to be pre- 
sumed that all will go right in the 
Hub. There are many persons who 
have accused Miss Garden and friend 
Gaby of being the best press-agent 
“copy” producers on the stage, but in 
the opinion of many Boston’s Little 
General takes the blue ribbon when 
it comes to getting himself before the 
public. But his censure of Miss Gar- 
den’s performance was very tame and 
his reception of Mlle. Deslys dispelled 
all doubt in her mind that her “artis- 
tic” performance would be disturbed 
His Honor. Gaby is probably wish- 
ing the censors would say something 
about her show, for that is all it con- 
sists of. As she says, “’T' would make 
business good, and I’m out for all the 
American money I can get.” She’s 
frank about it, anyway. 
The enterprise of motion-picture 
concerns is evidenced by nearly every 
photo-play that is shown upon the 
screen of a theatre, but it is seldom 
that this vicinity is chosen as the 
scene of the picture-drama. How- 
ever, within a few days, the Edison 
company has prepared to enact one of 
its scenarios near Misery Island. 
The picture is a sea subject, and no 
better atmosphere could be obtained 
than that of the Manchester shore. 
The wrecking of a schooner by dyna- 
‘mite— not the type which is sold in 
Gloucester—is one of the “incidents” 
to be pulled off by the “movies” con- 
cern. A thrilling rescue of the crew 
of the ship by a life-saving crew with 
the breaches-buoy is one of the ex- 
citing features of the photo-play to 
be enacted on the North Shore.

Floyd does not sell books, dolls, 
games, etc. They may all be obtained

Hans Dahl did not complete his 
trip to Florida by motor boat. He 
found on reaching New York that the 
inland waterway locks were closed. 
He has returned to Manchester, hay- 
ing left his motor boat in New Bed- 
ford.

GARAGE ON DENEGRE Estate Torat- 
LY DrestroveD By Frre. 
The Manchester fire department 
was called out at 2.30 this (Friday) 
morning for a fire at the W. D. Den- 
egre estate, West Manchester. The 
attractive garage on the estate was 
totally destroyed. There were two 
cars in the garage at the time. Both 
were destroyed. It is thought the fire 
started from a heater in one end of 
the building. Kenneth, the chauffeur, 
lost all his tools and machinists out- 
fit. 
The fire was discovered by A. A. 
Cushing, who lives on the hill nearby. 
He telephoned in an alarm. The aito 
truck responded and was on its way to 
the fire before the alarm had finished 
blowing. The fire had made big 
headway, before the alarm was sound- 
ed, apparently. 
The all out was sounded about 3.30.
