A NEW star mas dppodTGu III lu0
 N theatrical Armament, or per
 haps it is better said wander ing star has reappeared-a star so brilliant, so dominant, that for the moment we can see no other. The scintillations of wit, the .vividness of portrayal of character and time, the flashes of feeling, all have contributed to the aseendancy of Miss Henrietta Crossman. And such a voice as she is gifted with, such grace and beauty.
 It is in Mistress Nell'' Miss Cross man has suddenly leaped into fame this season, a play written by young westerner, Wisconsin man. No mention of the queenis made in "Mis- tress Nell'' and we are saved from the observation of Nell as kings hght-o'- love, we are given pretty love story with no dark suggestiveness. The play gives absolutely no ofense, and when we remember Nell was deemed of sufficient bility-or was it of sufficient notability-to have her funeral sermon preached by Dr. Teni- son, afterward archbishop of Canter- bury, we do not feel ashamed of ac- quaintanee with Eleanor Gwyn.
 If the real Nell Gwyn were half as irresistible as Miss Crossman's, no wonder Charles forgot state and crown, no wonder NIT. Pepys "ad-

.1N OLD KENTUCKY,

No more pleasing announcement could be made than that of Jacob Lifts production of ..In Old Ken 1ucky," which will be given Saturday afternoon and evening at Polis. This is certainly one of the most popular plays that are brought to Waterbury. and it holds the record against all other shows for having sold out the entire house at Polls in the shortest space of time. It is two years now since it has been presented here, but in that time it has been showing the same extraordinary popularity it has enjoyed ever since it's original produc- tion- There is not q question but what it will have its regular experi- Rnce of a quick selling out for both perfOrmances here, so that persons who intend to witness the play should be on hand early when the sales opens on Friday morning.

green walk that moonlight night, she is very lovely indeed; rich satin gleam- ing, soft lace rising and falling as she 1aughingly losses back sallies to that monarch, "who never said a foolish thing, or never did a wise one"
 Aubrey Boucicault most admirably portrays the character of Charles, and divides with Miss Crossman the hon. OTIS. We see Charles as gallant, as good fellow with his nobles, as de- fender of Nell's honor; the brave, wit ty, cynical king is well suggested, but in Mistress Nell'' of course he is par ticularly prominent as Nell's lover.
 Historically, and in the play, the duchess of Portsmouth is Nell's rival. The duchess gives masked ball, from which the player girl is excluded. But Nell has sworn to go, and what Nell swore to do she usually accom- plished. Made up as an Irish gentle man, one Beau Adair, she gains en- trance, and at once becomes the dar- ling of the ladies. How admirably she plays her part - what delicious brogue she has. She swaggers, she pays compliments with Irish exagger- ation and charm; she makes love with Irish ardor and wins. kiss and a packet of secret documents from the duchess herself; in Irish fashion, she goes about looking for fight, and gets it; with Irish gro hell wid yez, gintlemen!" she fiourishes her sword and makes good her escape. And then, a bit frightened but still game, she safely reaches the shelter of her bow CT and the company of her little orange girl protege. The poor thing, worn out with the wild escapade, garments and is about to indulge in needed rest when great knocking is heard at her gates. Quickly throwing a feminine garment over her rnascu- line attire, she awaits with trepida- ton her intruders. In walk the king and chosen few close companions. They wish to search the house, heard man was harbored there. Nell uses her wiles and wits, and Charles is al- most convinced. when Portsmouth ap- pears and announces her servants saw man lately enter through Nelfs win dow. The king storms, Nell implores, Portsmouth is triumphant. At last poor Nell throws off her feminine trappings and stands revealed-Be Adair, charming, saucy, a little ap- pealing. Portsmouth, remembering the documents, quails and retires, while the king and courtiers applaud NelPs last daring trick. And the cur tain goes down on Mistress Nell, the idol of England and of England's king.

"oUo yADIS."

To those who have read the novel FQu0 Vadis'' and to those who have not read it there will be almost an equal amount of interest in the produc- tIon of this play, which will open with a special matinee tomorrow at the Jacques. No more popular work has been written in the last half century. the sale of the book by the various publishers in this country alone run ming far into the millions. The plot deals with a Christian maiden who is triumphant in her faith. and who. in the simplicity of her religion, converts her Pagan prosecutor to the true cross. Nero. the Roman butcher, and Peter. the Apostle of Christ, are also prominent characters in the play. The management promises special for every act, the entire original cast, and an absolutely perfect performance of one of the greatest plays the stage has ever seen.

1.-THE VOLUNTEER oRGANIsT..

Specially appropriate as an offering for Good Friday is the new pastoral drama "The Volunteer Organist," !" which will be presented at Polls Fri day afternoon and evening. While not a religious play in the strict sense, it Is yet buit on a religious incident which occurred in a rural church and carries a moral lesson that is as pow erful as was ever preached in ser mon- The story was originally told in beautiful descriptive song written by William B. Gray, and MT Gray has evolved the play from the incident mar rated in the song. Pathos, comedy. sentiment. all mingle in the play, and they are so deftly interwoYen that there is never dull moment or an un- Interesting one throughout. It is in- tended to put the play on soon for an extended run in New York, and on that account an unusually strong cast has been secured. A magnificent scenic outfit is carried, and the organ used is a large and fine one which is also carried by the company. It promises to be most attractive per formance and ought to draw out large audiences both afternoon and even ing. The sale of seats opens to-mor- TOW.
