"There were matinees every day then, so the stock company actors had two performances a day. On Tuesday each week they had to start learning the part for the next play as well, andthey were faced with audiences who were watch ng their performances from week to week." "Those were the days when there were a lot of plays to chose from," she reminisced. "There was the Grand Opera' House down near -Dover street.

Answer There is some question as to whether you would qualify for a recomputation of your benefit right now.

However, we can say definitely that you would be eligible to file for a recomputation in July, 1955. Your benefit would then be about $65.90 a month, and would be retroactive to January, 11955. I We suggest that you call at the Social Security office, 125 Main Lewiston, to discuss your particular case. AT 4- 'BROAbUOOM. melodramas.
