 STORY OF "EGYPTA.n
 To hold the interest of any audi ence Of the present generation play
 must have some human sentiment and strong motive. "Egypta" pos
 sesses both to a superlatiye degree.
 There is the mothers love for her
 babe, the tender affection of a strong
 man for a dainty maiden, the dignity
 of q great prophet leading his down
 trodden people out from bondage, the
 subduing of the pride of the mightiest
 monarch of his time, the great Rame-
 ses of Egypt. To the thrilling story | is added the sublime strains of music
 from the pens of the greatest masters
 of melody the world has ever known. l The music of the opera is adapted 1 from the writings of the classic com posers and because of it's artistic char acter the singers of Waterbury have
 rehearsed faithfully and enthusiastic
 cally to adequately render it before the
 vast audience of their friends who l will fill Polls theater Monday night.
 Last nights satisfactory rehearsal inSures a superb presentation of the imposing spectacle The hundreds of chorus singers move through the
 evolutions of their part with alert pre- cision and the soloists interpret their | various roles with an intelligent grasp
 of their requirements. The program
 will contain the names of nearly 300
 active participants. This multitude,
 attired in the flowing robes of the ori-
 ent, produce a spectacular effect of
 indescribab1e splendor. The sumptu- i ous stage settings provided by the
 "Egypta" management add realism to
 every situation. Many are the histor-
 ical localities portrayed The grand
 court in the palace of Pharaoh, the
 gloomy rock-hewn catacombs, the Nile
 with it's pyramids, the land of Midian
 all these and many more are repro
 duced. The electric effects also add
 their quota.
 Reserved seats went on sale this
 morning and already large houses art assured. The matinee will not begir , till o'clock Wednesday R. m., to ac commodate school children.
