LULU CHASER.

Dolly Warden" was the attraction at Polis theater last evening. and every seat was filled with one of those audiences which like and appreciate cIeVef performances. It was a grand production, this comic opera, and staged beautifully. Elaborate in every detall were the scenic effects. and the company presenting the opera had not olemlsh. Of course the most inter- est centered in Lulu GIaser. and she was just as charming and vivacious as ln any character she has ever enacted sne was supported by an excellent company of artists and by chorus tnat more than gave satisfaction. If was one of the most creditaTIe and on Joyable performances. seen in this ci+v n ln many seasons. The story of "DolIv arden" relates the adventures of an unsophisticated and charming voung country girl in London in the beoin7 nlng of the eighteenth century and curing the reigns of King George of hhgiand and Louis XIV of France. and Tn the year 1730. Demure and dainty Dolly warden; who is the embodiment OF unconscious grace and radiant bean v, comes to the English city fresh rom the eodor of green fields and tha perfume of wild flowers. accompanied bV Jack Fairfax, her guardian to at- tend the wedding of her! sister T,adv ,t.. ,1e. illa fa1rfaX. who is the reigning p5lie ,s5 or the fashionable season of the EhgIlsh metropolis.

While in London Dolly falls in with the snart set of that period. and soon loses her rustic charm of manner. She rapidIy acquires the modish ways and ad- Vanced ideas of her newly made friends, the gay London beaux and .belles. During one of her madcap escaDades she meets Dick BeIleville. a nandsome and manly young officer of ms maJesty's infantry captain of the klng's @T1ards. and. of course. falls in love with him.

It Is a Case of Hustle Now to Get
 Everything Ready for Opening.
 The members of the bazaar com mittee of the Waterbury lodge of Elks held another interesting meeting last night and advanced the plans for the big bazaar which is to open at the Auditorium on November 8 and last until the 10th. There will be more novelties introduced at this fair than has ever been produced in anything of the kind in the state. The fnan- ciers of the lodge did little figuring last night and it was discovered that already $3,00O has been expended in the plans of the fair. This amount will be increased just $3,000 more be- fore the doors are opened to the pulp lie.
 One unique feature of the bazaar will be a Chinese restaurant Will- jam Holman and James D. Harring- ton will visit New York this week and will make arrangements with one of the best Chinese chefs there is in that city. Everything will be served up in Chinese style and there are many in this city who can tell you how de- licious are the meals prepared by a good Chinese chef. It will be Chi nnsc -astaurant in every respect and the New York chef will bring along q retinue of assistants and this feature alone will be great attraction.
 There will be many booths filled with artists who will show you the most wonderful articles in the world. Other booths will be under the care of several of the local merchants and here it might be said that as there are only a very few, they will be award ed by drawing and the lucky mer- chants can feel assured that they will be well advertised. All merchants desiring to occupy one of the booths can make application to D. J. Flaherty secretary of the committee.
 The stage will be occupied by the refreshment part. of the bazaar. The floor of the stage will be crashed and it will be arrange in unique way that will attract your eye. Ten of Waterbury's fair maidens will be in charge of this end of the fair. The where the grand balcony seats are. This will he an innovation in the lay out of the Auditorium The decorat- ing will be more elaborate than ever and will be in the hands of John Char ters. The interior will be converted into village as attractive as decora- tions can make it. Aside from all the Attractions, of course the principal thing is the amount of cash to be giv- en away. $1,500 is a large sum and the first prize will be $1,OOO. Books are selling like hot cakes and it is keeping the printer very busy getting theEa out. ,:&.-.

REST FOR TIRED EYES.


 Any one who suffers from tired eyes may be glad to try remedy accident ally discovered by a foreign author. which consists of simple method of restoring the vision to freshness. Turning from an unfinished manu- script one night with weary eyes, his glance fell upon some scraps of col ored silk that his wife had been using for patchwork. These gay colors had a peculiar attraction for his wearied optics. On resuming his work after gazing at them for several minutes he found them quite fresh. After sev- eral experiments he surrounded his inkstand with brilliantly colered striped silk material, which his eyes must rest on every time he dips his pen into the ink This brings instant relief.-London Globe.

fTHE COWBOY AND THE LADY"
 s. Miller Kent will undoubtedly give a very fine dramatic performance this evening when he presents 'The Cow boy and the Lady, at Polls. The play itself is a very fine one, a shown by its wonderful success in the hands of Nat Goodwin and Maxine Elliott, and MT Kent is a very capable actor. A year ago, when Goodwin and Miss FL liott were presenting the play in Bridgeport, Mir Kent was in the city. One day MT Goodwin was taken seri- ously i'll when at his country place, lockwood, and MT Kent was appealed to by Mrs Goodwin (AIaxine ElliotD to learn the lines and the business of MT Goodwin's role. He had but one day to do this. but he attempted it and made a cracking big hit in the part that night. Every paper in London called attention to Mir Kent's remark able performance When he found that MT Goodwin was to give up the play for good he secured the rights and has now been starring in it with great success. giving wonderfully ef- fective performance. Prices are 25. 30. 50, i75 cents and S1.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

V
 It was a very happy crowd that fled out of the Jacques last evening, after seeing a vaudeville show that just teens with comedy, act after act being of the liveliest possible character The Burke brothers. who are headlined with "Wise Mike," have an act that Is a genuine sereamer. It is not com edy to tax ones mind at all, but it just ticlzles the risibles until one fairly dou- bles up with laughter. The trick mule. with its antipathy to one of the Burkes and it's propensity to kick him at every chance. makes fun by wholesale, and 1t is impossible to keep a straight face during the time he is on the stage. The Burkes themselves are clever com edians, and they have some supporting funmakers who second their efforts we'll Keough and Ballard, who are headlined in addition, have their splen- did protean act in which both do some very effective character acting. and their cleverness won them much ap- plause last evening. Senator Frank Bell, a third headliner. has a quaint monologue of the sort that made him famous in "Way Down East'' during the past two weeks, and he gets all most as much applause for it as laugh ter. Others on the bill. which is a capital one throughout, are Dan Sher- man and Mabel Deforest. Barry and Hughes Hale and Francis. McIntvre and Primrose. and the Sisters Deyoe
