Of all the parts he has played none Is so Indissolubly asso ciated with Goodwin as that of Chauncey bhort, the eminently grood-natured and eminently likable young man with a for tune on his hands and nothing to do but dissipate, it. Short is one of thos "good fellow" types that are to be found In al most every large American community. we nave all known at least one of him. In the- play he U idealized a bit. He takes a tumble to himself too suddenly perhaps, and develops more force of char acter than could be expected even In fiction, but he is a delightful fellow and making some allowances for the dramat ist s license, is a genuine one. Mr. Goodwin plays the role with all the art which he possesses as a light come dian and in portraying the lights and shades of this gilded fool he sustains the very best obligations that we place upon him. It is unquestionably his best niece of work and will constitute his chief claim to fame as long as he remains on the stage. He cannot get away from "A Gilded Fool" any more than Mansfield can from "A Parisian Romance." Mr. Goodwin gave a fine performance last night and hie company gave him good support. ' Miss Goodrich wore some stunning gowns and looked more beauti ful than in anything she has done in the Goodwin repertoire. If she Is not a. great actress, her beauty and her ability to wear things serves to compensate to a large degree. The engagement closed last night. To night "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" will occupy the. HclIIg on a return en gagement. ' TIME LIMIT' ON CANDIDATES Would-Be Councilmcn Talk to South Portland Improvement Association Enthusiasm ruled last night's meet ing of tho South Portland Improve ment Association held In Hunter's Hall at Fulton. Tho business session was followed by an excellent entertainment given by tho women, who also pro vided a luncheon for those present. The principa.1 political lights of the Sixth ward were present, and a dls play of fireworks was scheduled, but recitations, songs and music spoiled the plans of the oratorical bombthrow ers, and they had to be content with saying pretty things about the ladies, and booming, the improvements of South Portland. William Deveny, dean of the Monta villa Push Club, was tho principal speaker. - With his long white hair drooping about his shoulders, he broke forth .in strains of eloquence as to tho future of his dear Montavilla, and in cidentally of South Portland. He told the boys present that he had a ball club, and the girls that he had bought his girls a tennis outfit. He was will ing to go to South Portland and do tho same thing. Then he informed the as semblage that while he was a corn doctor, he had always been a pa-triotic, honest and enthusiastic citizen of Port land, and had helped build up the city. He favored more macadam roads, mora water, of the Bull Run variety, and all good things that would make the city famous. "I do not believe in special privi leges for few, but equal, rights for all." he said, "and I believe that the sooner the women take a voice in politics the better it will be." . John M. Mann. Republican candidate for councilman in the Sixth Ward was called to make a speech, but his ef forts consisted mainly in complimen tary remarks addressed to the women present. In a few days, he said, I am go ing to recommend a medicine, which if taken in moderate doses will turn the White House Road Into on or the most beautiful drives in the city. am pleased to find myself in the midst of some of the most beautiful ladles ever assembled in this city. We ap preciate your presence." Councilman Bcldlng took advantage of Mr. Mann's boulevard remarks to say that it was not beautiful roads that were aa much needed as carlines. He did not continue what ho Intended to say, because of the time limit set on each member on account of the en tertainment. C. H. Ptggott,IRcpublIcan candidate for Councilman for the Sixth Ward re marked that it was a love feast aa well as a business and political meet- j Some one has asked: "Why is Shredded Wheat on the 'training table' of every uni versity and college?" The reason is easy to give. Stiredded Wheat contains the greatest amount of muscle-building material in smallest bulk and in most di gestible form. The favorite food of athletes as well as children. For breakfast heat the Biscuit in oven to re store crispness, pour hot milk over it, add a . little cream and a little salt ; or, sweeten to taste. Shredded Wheat is also delicious and wholesome for any meal in combination with fresh or preserved fruits. At your grocers. 3 ing. He also felt the need of paying tribute to the ladies, and said he want ed to mention two facts. That the ladles of the Sixth Ward were noted for getting up nice lunches, and that he had recently talked with the United Railways Company, and that it was a well-known fact that tho com pany would build a line out the Ma eadam road before long, and that was encouraging.
