 THE FIRST VAUDEVILLE SHOW. MT Poli, who is to direct the new vaudeville policy at the Jacques, has arranged his bill for the opening week It is certainly remarkable one There are fully half dozen headline acts. each of which has made good in the best vaudeville houses in America. so that the new scheme will start off most auspiciously. Hugh Stanton and Florence Nodena, who with their bright little company will present their clever playlet, For Re form.'' Then as a second star headline act we have Smlt1 and Campbell, who are known in every vaudeville theater in the country, as Americas greatest rapid fire joi.ers and who will prove a big surprise here Others are Barker, MolIer anl
 
 DagnaIl the Dewitts, Smith and Bow man and the American Vitagrapl with wonderfully realistic moving pie lures of President Mcxinley'S funeral from Washington to Canton.
 As published already, MT Polls plr- pose is to conduct the Jacques exact ly as he conducts his theatar in New Haven. Matinees will be given every day including Monday, and at these matinees ladies will be admitted 10 all parts of the house for 10 cents only, the only exception to this being on lol- idays, when they must pay tils regu- lar scale of 20 cents. Nothing bu5 re- fined vaudeville will be offered, even the remotest approach to yulgarify be ing carefully excluded and only the leading stars in vaudeville will be played. No advance sale will be had, for the reason that there will be no reserved seats, the policy of first come first served prevailing as in all ya;lde- vile theaters tickets, however, may be purchased in bulk up to 100 So as to avoid the trouble of standing in line at the window These tickets will be good until used, or they may be redeemed at any time by presenta- ton at the box office.
 It will be seen from i'll this that lovers of amusement in Waterbury are in for a new era, and that the Jacques is likely to become more than ever the place for people who like fun at living prices.
