MANCHESTER 
The many friends of Miss Bessie 
Allen, who is spending the winter 
with her brother and family in Kast 
Orange, N. Y., will regret to learn 
of an accident which befell Miss 
Allen recently, resulting in break- 
ing a leg. The accident happened 
while she was coasting. 
The park commissioners are hav- 
ing plans prepared for a bathing 
pavilion at Singing Beach. The 
matter will be placed before the 
voters at the annual meeting in 
March. 
The marriage of Clyde A. Flint 
and Miss Margaret Vourne in Cam- 
bridge, Wednesday evening, was 
attended by several Manchester 
friends of the groom’s family. Mr. 
Flint was a native of Manchester, 
being a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed- 
ward Flint (Hattie K. Allen), who 
moved away from here some twenty 
years ago. Among those who went 
from here are Selectman and Mrs. 
E. S. Knight and Master Ran- 
dolph Knight, Misses Alice and An- 
nabel Haraden and Miss Martha C. 
Knight. It was a home wedding 
and was a very pretty affair. Roy 
Chamberlin, also formerly of Man- 
chester, was best man. Mr. and 
Mrs. Flint will live in New York 
where the former is engaged in the 
electrical supply business. 
Mrs. M. A. Edgar, widow of the 
late John L. Edgar of Boston, 
passed away in Washington, DsGe 
Tuesday at the advanced age of 80 
years. She was a native of Man- 
chester, being the daughter of the 
late Stephen and Maria Story. The 
deceased had been an invalid for 
a number of years, but bore her suf- 
ferings with admirable patience 
and fortitude. Beside her daugh- 
ter. Miss Harriet R. Edgar of Wash- 
ington, a sister, Mrs. Charlotte 
Brown of this town, survives her. 
Services were held in Washington 
Wednesday at her late residence 
9323 18th Street, N. W., Rev. Dr. 
Greene of Calvary church, officiat- 
ing. Services were held at Mrs. 
Brown’s residence in Manchester, 
Thursday, as the remains were 
brought here for interment. At 
these services Rev. L. H. Ruge offi- 
ciated and Miss Rebecea Andrews 
of Gloucester sang. There were 
many floral tributes. 
‘The Pink Lady’’ at the Colonial 
Theatre 
“The Pink Lady,’’ which is uni- 
versally conceded to be the most 
brilliantly successful musical com- 
edy ever presented in Boston, will 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
begin its eighth week of her tri- 
umphal career at the Colonial The- 
atre with every indication of the re- 
markable success that this bubbling, 
joyous entertainment has attained 
being emphasized. 
“The Pink Lady’’ is different in 
many phases from any of the Amer- 
ican modern musical comedies and 
many of the foreign productions, it 
depends entirely for its great suc- 
cess upon a well told story, from 
which all the uproarious fun which 
has made it famous is naturally 
evolved in the legitimate telling of 
the story. There is not one of its 
charming, sparkling musical num- 
bers but what is musicianly com- 
posed and pertinent to the play. It 
does not depend upon the modern 
slap-stick, acrobatic methods of 
most plays termed musical come- 
dies; nor upon the interpolation of 
musical numbers and specialties by 
its comedians. 
The east is one of the best ever 
vathered together for the present- 
ment of a musical play. the staging 
and the costuming of the production 
always sumptuous and in good taste. 
Elsie Ferguson at the Hollis 
Miss Elsie Ferguson, under the 
direction of Henry B. Harris, comes 
to the Hollis Street Theatre, Mon- 
day evening for a two weeks’ en- 
gvagement in her dainty new com- 
edy ‘‘The First Lady in the Land,”’ 
direct from a successful run at the 
Gaiety Theatre, New York. The an- 
nouncement should be a welcome 
one, for Miss Ferguson has won a 
distinct niche in stardom for her de- 
lightful feminity, and she is said 
to have a play in which she is able 
to display her rare charm to the 
ereatest advantage. 
‘(The First Lady in the Land ”’ 
deals with the love affairs of Dolly 
Todd, the famous Philadelphia 
Quakeress who influenced so much 
of American history through the re- 
gard and admiration in which she 
was held by the statesmen of her 
time. History tells where she fi- 
nally placed her hand in marriage, 
but it has remained for Mr. Nird- 
linger to tell of the tugs she had at 
her heart strings before she eould 
decide between the staid James 
Madison and the dashing dare-devil 
Aaron Burr. 
With Burr planning a new em- 
pire in Mexico, where he could seat 
his lady-love on a throne, and all 
the European nations intriguing 
with disgruntled politicians to 
break up the young republic of the 
United States, Mr. Nirdlinger had 
plenty of material for stirring inei- 
Manchester _Men Meeting With 
Marked Success 
The Boston New Bureau of Tues- 
day contamed the announcement 
that more than $25,000.00 had been 
subscribed on a proposed issue of 
$50,000.00 first mortgage five year 
bonds, up te January 20th, by — 
stockholders of the Iron Cap Cop- 
per Co. of Globe, Ariz., with Boston 
offices at 60 State street. We make 
mention of the fact in the Breeze 
at this time because of the connec- 
tion which two Manchester. men 
have with this company, Frank P. 
Knight being its president. and 
Howard L. Winchester a director. 
As little more than two weeks 
had elapsed from the time of first 
offering of the bonds, and as sub- 
scriptions ranged in amount from 
$10.00 to $2000.00 with at least two 
thirds of the stockholders yet to be 
heard from, it will be seen that 
those stockholders living in New 
England are solidly ‘behind the 
management, who have every cause 
to feel highly gratified at the re- 
sult. 
As this property is surrounded by 
producing mines, one of which is 
the Old Dominion, a large dividend 
payer, there is little doubt im the 
minds of those familiar with the 
property, that when shaft sinking 
is resumed, The Iron Cap will de- 
velop a paying mine.. 
Several hundred thousand dol- 
lars were spent in_ development | 
work, which consisted of shafts and 
cross cutting by the former man- 
agement, before the re-organization 
by Mr. Knight and others connected 
with him. <As the history of many 
very successful mines ineluding the 
Old Dominion has been one of early 
failure, re-organization and- final 
sueeess, it would seem that to get 
into a mine after its early troubles — 
were behind it was the rule both 
of safety and wisdom. 
As something like two million 
dollars of stockholders’ money is 
represented by the present Iron Cap: 
Mine, Mr. Knight and his associ-— 
ates are to be congratulated on the 
work they have so far accom- 
plished. :

dents and mysterious events. Duel- 
ling was rampant, and war merely 
an ineident to obtain ends with the 
men the author brought into his — 
story, but there is a vein of comedy 
throughout the piece that keeps the- 
action well balanced and entertain- 
ing until the last climax. fe
