MARY SHAW IN GHOSTS"

MARY SHAW IN "GHOSIS-
 Waterbury theater-goers will be treated to the first high class enter tainment of the season, at Poli's this evening when Mary Shaw and her company of distinguished players will appear in Ibsen's dramatic master piece, 'NGhosts." In the history of the stage. there has heen no dramatist who holds the mirror up to nature as clearly as Ibsen, the Norwegian dra- matist, whose plays since the early sos have been gradually taking a strong hold on our intellectual theater- goers Ibsen looks to life itself in- stead of conventions for his dramatic materials. His pictures frame living, breathing men and women of our ev- cry day existence. He knows that character is, the root of all drama, and it is to the lifelike, convincing, con- sistent portrayal of character that he devotes his powers. The average theater-goer shuns Ibsen because he thinks his plays too daring, too near the actual. When, however, he does condescend to witness one, the artistic excellence of the work, the clear cut lifelike picture, the compelling atten- ton obtained by the methods employed by Ibsen, usually makes convert of the scoffer and adds one more to the ever increasing clientele of our great est playwrights. And this Ghosts has been pronounced the greatest of all bis dramatic writings. Prices are 25, 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.
 VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Expectations of an extra good bill at the Jacques this week has served to bring a large audience to the theater this afternoon, and contentment and pleasure are reflected on every face. Heading the bill are Gertrude Mans field and Caryll Wilbur in new com edy entitled "61 Prospect Street These two players are among the ciev- crest playing in vaudeville, and they have made the most brilliant success of their career with this new comedy. Another act which will appeal par ncularly to the Irish people of Water bury is offered by Holden and Flor ence, under the title of The Fairy of Killarney It verges on the patriots, and when played in Bridgeport last week won from correspondent of the Farmer, signing himself 'sHibernian," ]" the following pretty tribute: Editor of the Farmer:-I beg, sir, the privi- lege of your valuable columns, to en- dorse little play that witnessed with great enjoyment at MT Polls the ater last night It presents, sir, the Irishf character in its true and slovable light, and my fellow Trish-Americans, who have rightfully taken offeHse to caricatures of our race, ought to give their loyal support and conmendation to manager and artists who so faith fully portray the real Trishman." In addition to these DoIph and Susie Leonio show rapid craypn drawings of and Lee sing some funny Jewish par odies, Mile Agonst and Charles H. Webster have some unique comedy juggling, Louise Montrose appears in character songs and dances, Farrar, Cole and company present eHis Col lege Chun,' and the electrograph has views of Sir Thomas Lipton's fleet ] leaving Scotland. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 ceutsy ladies 10.

scorn That which credits a man with set
ting fire to the hair OF the girl that Tilted

Lawrence White of Muncie, KY, was so
much in love with Miss Lily Davis of the

was willing to set fire to her.
He probably had figured out that he could
not stand for her to be "another's" and that
rather than risk this he would set fire to
her It may be considered as a remarkable
