ceaseless attraction in this bit of dia-
logue or that. bit of action. The char
acters are such that the soldier, the
cowboy and the woman, one after an
other occupy the principal place. Hav-
ing chosen an. appealing theme for his
story, Mr.. Thomas, the author, also
chose a collection of people who would
not only preserve all the virtue which
there was in the central idea, but who
would each by contrast with the other
carry out the general plan and make
this mimic world seem like a real one.
The force of the characters and the
excellence of the situations are backed
up by dialogue which is always brisk,
as the talk of the West should be. and
which has lightness now. or a SOM
breness then. that is as distinct as the
mountains and the shadows which
form the background of the story.

woven into the up-to-date presenta~
ton. The audience cannot fail to be
amused from the time the curtain is
rung up until the last note, as there
is that in it which appeals to almost
any temperament. The esthetic is
certain of satisfaction as the spectacle
shows an excellent corps de ballet in
novel and new creations. The Broth
ers Kennard as Mid and Nod are fin
ished acrobats and comedy workers,
Miss Mayme Mayo is a clever little
soubrette, and Charles A. Loder makes
a refined artist in German comedy.
Concerning the two most popular
pianoforte teachers of the last CEN
fury, DR.. William Mason writes in the
Philadelphia Musician:
List the man is, on the whole. more
familiar to us than List the teacher;
we therefore incline from knowledge of
the one to form an idea of what the
other must have been. His genius
cannot be said to have lain chiefly in
the direction of imparting what he
knew; he probably succeeded more in
inspiring his pupils with the desire to
play than in giving them practical in
formation on the subject of how to do
so. The knowledge he received from
Czerny he used in his own way--his
respect for him as teacher was un-
bounded-but, without in any way
seeking to deprciate his influence,
it may be said that. broadly speaking
in his relations with those around him
he himself was more the genial artist
than the pedagogue. Leschetizky, If
less conspicuously a musical figure
in the world, is in one respect unique
he possesses. in a supreme degree, the
unusual gift of teaching-when he en-
counters a pupil with an equally pow
erfui gift for being taught, he obtains
results that attract attention. Even
those who study what they are pleased
to call his method" in vain do not
leave his sphere of influence entirely
without profit; they have better fingers
than they started with, though they
have not learned how TO use them. If
an absolute ignorance of the subject
entities one to speak, it may be sug-
gested that this is more a characters
tic of his influence than of that of any
other living master.
The "Theater' for January contains
a statement from Andrew Carnegie in
regard to the idea. for an endowed
theater. which it has been stated he
was anxious to establish. Mr.. Car
negie says he does not consider it
proper field for private gifts and argues
that if the experiment were to be made
it should be by government as in Eu-
rope. In the same issue of the The
ater'' Alfred Ayres continues his ar
tlcles on the great players of the past,
and the number contains also an inter
view with Annie Russell, besides an in
teresting article ON the ACTORS of the

MAuDE AMAMS.

The greatest theatrical event that has eyer been added to the entertain ment history of this city was enacted last evening at Polls theater, when
 Miss Maude Adams and a company of artists, everyone of them, presented
 Miss Adams's fastest venture, Quality Street. We say the greatest, for it was all that in many respects. In the first place the theater contained, in q financial sense, more money than was ever contributed for any theatrical en- tertainment ever presented in this city. This alone is saying 8 good deal when you bring your memory into play and recall the many artists both male and female, that have visited our city. Sec ondly, the audience was one of the most brilliant that has ever graced the theater. It was filled from top to bot tom with the representative people of Waterbury, who enthused over the ex- cellent production and who chattered and commented on the beauties of the comedy between every act. Thirdly, the star was in her best mood, and her hearers not only were filled with adula- ton for her work, but the majority begged again and again for a look at the charming artiste as the curtain descended on each act. Fourthly, the company, although small, was a capa- ble one, and each filled niche in the building up of the whole that fitted to a nicety. So you could go on with fifthly and sixthly and you could find something new and pleasant to say about this excellent production. The play itself is not to be compared with the Little Minister" though written by J. NJ. Barrie, who is also the author of that Interesting production. It IS bright and witty and filled with mug gets of excellence that are presented to the audience through the medium of the company as the story unfolds itselr and is finally brought to successful and happy conclusion. A 1ovesick girl is led into the belief that a man whom she admires in secret has come to make his ayowal of love and she awaits his coming with much trepida- tion. He comes. but declares no love. and simply informs herself and her maiden sister that he has enlisted for the war and has come to say goodbye. She has lost her money and is forced to open q school in her ow2 home to support herself and sister. 4SGter nine years her soldier returns, now a cap- tain and minus q hand, lost in the wars. She has concealed her dancing curls beneath q hideous cap and he comments on her changed appearance and likens her to an old maid She is hurt and determines to be her old self again. She dresses in the gayeSt of robes, lets down her wealth of curls, and then with dancing eyes and artless smiles, she proceeds to f1irt to her hearts content She represents herself as a niece of her sister and therefore her own niece. The soldier is coaxed and f1attered and finally yields so far as to tell her that he loves her aunt. which of course means herself. The deception is carried on until the soldier discoveres the plot himself and then all ends happily. as the fictitious niece is carried away in an empty cloak.
 Miss Adams in the character of Phoebe Throssell was more than pleas ing. There is no chance to say any. thing but clever things about her. She

DANCING UNDER DIFFICULTIES
What Happened to a Young Woman Who WnItzed While Doing
 Her Homework

A charming young married wom- an, whose fund of humor is nicely balanced by her good sense, was tell ing the other day of the struggle she aad to learn to dance. Her mother did not favor the pastime and the daughter was forced to learn the steps from her girl companions. Having had it dinned into her ears that piano practice made perfect" she applied the advice to her dane ing, says the Detroit Free Press.
 1T was just crazy to learn" she said, flor | could see no harm in it, and as soon as mother was out of the room I would begin sailing around. No matter what was do ing--dusting, sweeping, washing the dishes or preparing a meal-I would work in a few steps. To me now, it seems the most comical thing in my life. Fancy me with dust rag polish ing the back of chair and then waltzing over to the center table, from it gliding to the piano and after a few dabs at the mahogany sailing over to picture, always humming waltz tune for my danc- ing feet, but shutting down quickly when mothers steps would be heard.
 "The funniest thing happened in the kitchen, though. My sister and I divided the housework, but rotated the work so that twice week had the kitchen to myself. I just luxuri- ated there. All the work was done to hippity-hop. Even a big painful of dishwater would be given whirl around the room as if it were a real johnny, and whens I used the scrub brush one of Strauss lovely tunes sent it merrily over the floor. I must confess that mothers crockery dis appeared rapidly while my crazy fit was on, and I was often put to it to invent excuses for breaking the dishes, but the climax came. I could not acquire the reverse easily, and when alone in the kitchen I would draw a circle on the floor with a piece of chalk and would practice the step, and, of course, always with something in my hands. Starting to put away a platter with two fine rolls of butter on it, I could not re- SISD Ul1C 1lldSlC ClIc1e WiIGn | SIdIU6O for the refrigerator, With the plat ter elevated on my finger tips, I pirouetted and pranced when pop! the rolls slipped off the platter and landed on the top of the hot stove.

The aueer Roosevelt Names.

The old Roosevelt name comes from the mothers side Before her mar riage she was Miss Carow, not Ca- rev. The name is an old French Hu- guenot one, originally spelled Que reau but was changed to Carow by Mrs. Roosevelt's grandfather, Isaac Carow, who experienced much trouble with men in business, who never seemed able to spell Quereau proper ly. The name of Quentin, one of the boys, belongs to the Carow side, and was also a French Huguenot name, originally spelled Quantine. The same explanation applies to the name of Kermit, doubtless. n Detroit Free pracc

lis pretty, dainty and captivating
 Whether in her smiles or her tears she
 magnetized her audience, and they all lived with her In her life in Quality
 Street" She is a charming actress, and her winsomeness becomes her just as fittingly as does her fearful moods and her gayest moments. She <em- bodied everything to carry you along
 with her in every portion of her work and it is no wonder that demand after demand was made by her hearers for another glimpse of the charming lady before the curtain would shut her away for the next act. In her work ill
 the third act, where she discoyeres that she is loved by her soldier, not as the fictitious niece, but as Phoebe, the aunt, her ability was more than shown. Here four other returned soldiers who had been. endeayoring to win her favor are treated to surprise by her over flowing spirits, as she acts almost de llriOus over her new discovery. She treats them as children and seats them on bench together and there she leaves them diSconsolate as she fits away with her one-armed hero. Her scene in the school room with her pu- pils was another phase of acting that attracted every attention. This scene was very pretty one, and the boy who wanted a caning and who insisted on getting it, was q very clever little chap. All through Miss Adams pre- sented q character whose versatility was appreciated more and more until the final ending of the clever produc- ton. Nothing but words of praise can be said for the work of the supporting company. Next to Miss Adams prob- ably the work of Miss Helen Lowell as Susan Throssell, the maiden sister of Phoebe, deserves particular comment
 Her laughs and her old maidenish ways, so cleverly enacted. pleased the audience as much as any part of the entertainment. Hers was q character difficult to conceive and just as diff cult to portray properly. but Miss Low ell certainly made q decided hit with her work here last evening" Miss Marion Abbott as Patty was also q unique character, and she was never on the stage one moment that her au- dience was not forced to smile at the conception and the oddity of her abil- ity. The other ladies all filled their parts with excellent satisfaction. Of the men, sydney Trough as Valentine Brown. the soldier lover. was another decided success. He had difficult role to assume. but he cleverly enacted it and received deserved encomiums. The other gentlemen each had his DOT ton to do, and did it we'll. The play was beautifully staged, perhaps as beautiful and novel as any that has yet graced the stage in the city. The mountings were rich and it added to the whole aspect that met with favor
 The whole was indeed q very interest ing and more than pleasing production.

FRANK KEENAN,

The return engagement of Frank keenan in "Hon John Grigsby'' Mon- day evening at Poli's has awakened the liveliest interest among theater-goers. for the remarkable. performance ne gave in the piece five weeks ago is re- membered by those who saw it as one of the most artistic seen here this sea- son. During the intervening time, which he spent in a successful run at the Manhattan theater, New York. the New York critics have been lavish in their praise of the play and players. and more remarkable performance even than before may be looked for. Seats go on sale tomorrow, and there ought to be lively demand for them.
