 Miss Holland will not soon forget her first appearance in Waterbury, and those who were present last night will not soon forget her performance. 1t was a genuine success from beginning to end, and while one or two of the company could be improved upon, those little defects were overlooked in the excellent work of the others. sThe Power Behind the Throne affords many opportunities for Miss Holland and her company, and those advan- tages were carefully taken care of. She is a delightful person herself, and possesses magnetism that holds your interest throughout. In face, figure voice and gesture she adapted herself to each phase of the performance, and it was no wonder that she had the au- dience at her feet before the first act was concluded. Curtain call followed curtain call, and it seemed as if the audience never tired of looking at her and keeping her pleasant face before them. In the third act is where she proved herself as versatile as she was powerful. Her scene with the duchess was strong and we'll conceived. and no more interesting and entrancing an ending to an act has been seen ill this city. She was called before the cur tain so often that she finally was forced to refuse the last call, after lowing her acknowledgements to every part of the house. It was no won der that she was pleased and delighted at the reception accorded her.
 Miss Holland has as her leading man Leonard Walker. who portrays the character of the Baron. He has been seen in Waterbury before, but in the comic opera roles. For years the lead ing man with Frank Daniels and in the "Normandie Wedding" he has pleased Waterbury audiences before. He has now retired from the operatic stage, and taken up the legitimate, and if his work of last night Is any cri- terion to go by he has made a very fortunate and successful change. Gift ed with good stage presence and with a musical voice, he assisted in no small way in the genuine success of the lead ing lady. His work will bear compar- ison with some of the leading of our stars to-day, and he received more UTAH tue uSusa1 duAolAl OA sippAeSAAIoA given to the second members of cast
 The rest of the company all filled their respective roles we'll. :,
 Another feature which added to the beauty of the play and was 8 material assistance in the carrying out of the plot of the story, was the exquisite stage settings. They were elaborate and beautiful and each in turn made the audience open their eyes in sur
 prise at the richness and tastefulness
 In fact, the whole performance, from
 beginning to end, created more satis
 faction than any drama that has been
 seen in Waterbury this season.

POWER BEHIND THE THRONE"
 One of the happiest women. in Wa terbury last night, and perhaps as hap py and contented as any in this broad land, was Miss Mildred Holland, who appeared here at Polls theater in the four-act drama, '.The Power Behind the Throne" It was Miss Hollands first appearance in this city, and it was with much trepidation that she awaited the rise of the curtain, be- cause she knew that Waterbury audi enceS are not only critical, but they are not adverse to administering decided frost when the mood strikes them, or when the performance does not hit a responsive chord of pleasure. As she said to the critic last night, she knew that several other good cOmpa- nies had appeared here within a month or two. among them one of F'rohman's $, and all of them had been given the cold shoulder so far s.s attendance was concerned What was her surprise and delight, therefore, when the cur tain ascended last night to find ill front of her one of Waterburys representa- tive audiences, waiting for the debut in Waterbury of an actress who has l been so surely and successfully climb | ing the theatric ladder. Her first | appearance won the hearts of her audi ence and she was greeted with so much applause. that she was for mo- hent nonplussed, and she could scarce 1 ly realize that she was among stran- | gers.
 So pleasing was this first reception to Miss Holland that she said after wards, "I could have loved the whole audience This was only a begin ming, however, for before the perform ance had concluded she had been ac- corded more applause and generous | appreciation than any actress that has appeared in Waterbury in long time. It was all deserving, too, for Miss Holland is one of those actresses who not only acts her part, but she l lives it.. Hers has bees1 a succession of successes and although but few years on the stage, she has reached that part of ner theatrical, career where she is now in 2 position to compete fol honors with the best romantic artists that do honor to the stage. While she has always played the lead, she never lets moment slip by when she is no1 studying some way to improve on hel work She is, if one may call her so q student actress, and her moments on the stage are alnest as buAv as thost in which ahe Is pleasing her audiences It is | pleasure to listen to her on ant off the stage. tor she interests 70, either way She ia pretty and unaa | sumink and aoe6 nof ask you to trea

French CIoaks Have Trains.

Many of the French cloaks have
trains and fare at the bottom like the
new skirts They all have sleeves very
wide at the bottom, and the revers
reach out beyond the shoulders. The
old colonial coat Is fashionable for this
year, with its big revers and collar and
gauntlet cuffs. Made up in colonial or
royal blue, with a darker shade for the
collar, cuffs. revers and immense pock-
ct flaps, with a stitched edge of white
around the velvet, the pattern Is I'M
usually handsome for a slender figure,
as are all skirted coats. Big white
pearl buttons should fasten this coat,
and it should be worn with a lace jabot
and lace in the sleeves.
Deep, fla shaped capes are making
heavy strides toward popular favor.
The capes are to be doubled and ire

Professor Rosa said that two new

Washington for the work. They will
be about midway between Chevy Chase
and the White House, on Connecticut
avenue. With IN altitude of about $50
feet above, the Potomac. The greatest
care win be taken in planning and
constructing these buildings to avoid
