Portland Postmaster Appointment Sparks Perceived Snub

The report alleging Clark Hi Barker’s appointment as Portland postmaster snubs Congressman Reed is incorrect. Abbott Reed favored Knowlton, yet insiders say Reed had secretly signaled approval to the president. Viewed by Reed, Guy Robie’s son-in-law appointment should not harm Reed’s campaign, rooted in self, the old flag, and an appropriation.

It praises actors like Miss Billie Deaves and Mr. Bruening while lamenting The Rajah’s dullness, praises Little Em’ly for strong reception, and notes industry gossip, etiquette, and a manager’s comic misstep with a cartoon incident in front of amused patrons.

In Le Temps a critic argues Hamlet bears a heavy task to murder his mother, while Legouve’s Beatrix translates scenes from Shakespeare as stage denouements for Romeo and Juliet.
