Miss Ruth Low, assistant teacher 
in the Reading High school, spent 
Saturday and Sunday in Essex. 
Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Perkins 
and child of Melrose, were guests 
of Mrs. Perkins’ sister, Mrs. Frank 
A. Goodhue of Main street, during 
the past week. 
One of the most interesting en- 
tertainments it has been our privi- 
lege to attend was given by the chil- 
dren of the public schools in the 
High school room Friday afternoon 
and evening, October 20th. = It 
seems that early in the school year 
a new study was introduced into the 
schools,—industrial work of differ- 
ent kinds—mechanical, brass work, 
leather work, clay work, fancy 
work, sewing, cooking, manufacture 
of confectionery, and agriculture. 
Seeds supplied by the state had been 
given to the pupils in the spring and 
the results were brought to this ex- 
hibition, as was that of the different 
classes of work. The results were 
surprisingly successful. The exhibit 
was in charge of the parent-teachers 
association. The desks were used 
for tables. Herbert P. Andrews ap- 
pointed three judges to award prizes 
—Mrs. Noah Burnham, Mrs. E 
Frank Stanwood and Albert L. But- 
ler. They awarded prizes as fol- 
lows: Vegetables—I1st, potatoes, 
Edith Riggs; 2d, squash, Foster An- 
drews; 3d, corn, Ruth Buckley. 
Raffia—1st, Thomas Boutchia, bas- 
ket; 2d, Marjorie Elwel; third, 
Louise Boutchia. Mechanical—tst, 
Raymond Mulcahy; 2d, Thorndike 
Cheney; 3d, John Hardy. Clay

mont; 2d, Gladys Lufkin; 3d, Alice

uel Andrews; 2d, Raymond Butman ; 
3d, Grace M. Hart. Confectionery— 
Ist, Jesse Lee; 2d, Evelyn Cogswell; 
3d, Ruth Haskell. Leather Work— 
Ist, Ellen Riggs; special mention, 
Helen McKenzie. One of the most 
novel of the exhibits were peanuts 
on the vines raised in Essex by Stu- 
art Cogswell of the Falls. There 
were also two airships’ exhibited. 
This was the first of many such ex- 
hibitions, we hope, and reflects great 
credit to both teachers, scholars and 
all who were instrumental in bring- 
ing it about. 
‘‘The Three Romeos’’ at the 
Colonial Theatre 
‘The Three Romeos’’ a new 
American musical comedy will be- 
goin a limited engagement of two 
weeks at the Colonial next Monday. 
It is a relief to have the authors 
come boldly forth and place a native 
label on their workmanship. Possi- 
bly it means that the Viennese op- 
eretta has passed its cycle on the 
American stage. Since the vogue 
inaugurated by ‘‘The Merry Wid- 
ow’’ there has been a rush of for- 
eign musical play productions in this 
country.- It has been so overpower- 
ing as to turn most of the American 
authors and composers into mere 
adapters. 
The situation has not been very 
encouraging for them. It deadened 
originality. It is therefore, good to 
learn that the book and lyrics of

the new comedy are by R. H. Burn- 
side. He has resigned as the di- 
rector of the New York Hippodrone 
and this is the first complete book 
from his pen to be offered since his 
retirement. 
Raymond Hubbell composed the 
music for ‘‘The Three Romeos.’’ 
He has originated a seore that is 
rich in melody and_ orchestration 
and free from the common-place. 
To have brought such able men as 
Burnside and Hubbell together is an 
accomplishment from which Messrs. 
Fellner and Dreyfus must reap a 
worthy harvest.
