HELLO BILL"

This jolly comedy, in which the late Roland Reed achieved such a great cess, will be the attraction at Polls on Wednesday evening. Suggestive of the title, Hello. Bill'' was written for the sake of laughter only, and 1t is said to be the most hilarious of farces. The cast this year is an ex- ceptionally strong one and carries among others such well known celels
 glties as Harry Blakemore, Herbert '.

word with a History.

''Shibboleth' Is word frequently used in modern politics, though it may be doubted whether many politicians know the history of 1t. Curiously enough, this Hebrew word really means fan ear of corn" as well as a "river;;" but it's significance for mod erns arises from the fact that it was employed as a test to distinguish the Epbraimites from the Gileadites, the former being unable to pronounce the ''sh' sound.

Theatrical
 Fraternal
"EVERYMAN."

The presentation of this fifteenth century morality play this evening at Polfs, under the direction of Charles Frohman, marks distinct novelty in dramatics. The play is a literary and dramatic curiosity, being one of those symbolical plays that form a link be- tween the old mystery plays and the legitimate drama. Thus it is. not only Of interest to the student and the lit erateur, but also to those who are con- cerned in the history of the stage. 1t was first produced in London under the auspices of the Elizabethan Stage society and attracted widespread att tention. 1t not only drew large audi ences at St Georges hall and Mrs Langtry's Imperial theater, but was given private presentations at the lead ing English schools and universities. MT Frohman saw the London produc- ton and was so impressed with the novelty and beauty of the old play that he arranged with the Elizabethan society and Ben Greet, under whose df- rection "Everyman" is played, to bring the 0uIlEo COlupdIiy duQ pTOuuCLlo1l tO this country. In New York it excit- ed great interest and it's engagement was twice extended to meet the de- mands for seats. The performances were largely attended by the clergy, and MT Frohman received numerous letters from prominent ministers con graduating him on the success of the production of the play in this country. The very novelty of the production ought to insure large audience for it at Polls this evening. Prices are 25, 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.5O.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES,


 The tremendous interest attaching to the mysterious Girl with the Auburn Hair is manifesting itself to-day in a very large matinee audience, and 1t is quite probable that this evening an overflow house will be in evidence. This girl around whom such veil of mystery is thrown, and about whom so much press talk has been made in the larger cities of America, is classed by vaudeville managers as one of the most extraordinary novelties that American vaudeville has yet produced. For seven straight months Chicago wondered not alone at the mystery of her identity but as well at the mar velous beauty of the act that she pre- sents. Some, people even in the cit ies where she has appeared have not been able to convince themselves that the Girl with the Auburn Hair is real ly a living person, but they are all mis- taken She is living, breathing reality, albeit her actual identity is known to only three persons. It has been said that her persistent conceal ment of her name and antecedents is because she belongs to one of the first families of America who would be shocked by the thought of one of it's members being on the stage, but the young woman herself positively refuses to discuss the matter in any form. Whatever the case may be, however, certain it is that this Girl with the Au- burn Hair has created a tremendous sensation in American vaudeville, and Manager Poli considers himself spe- cially fortunate that his circuit of four cities enables him to offer the months bookings, which is the shortest time she will sign for with any manager Waterbury will undoubtedly follow in the wake of other cities and make this Girl with the Auburn Hair genuine fad. The bill in addition has not been permitted to fall below the stand ard because of the unusual outlay caused by the star feature. This will be understood when it is known the bill includes Jack Norworth, Fred and Dot West. Louise Dresser, Burkes musical dogs Gordon Eldrid, Cooney and Pearl, and the electrograph. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and % cents ladies 10.

STRIKE THREATENED
Chicago Beer Drivers and Helpers Re-
ceive No Pay for Thanksgiving Day
They Don't Like 1t.

Chicago, Ill. Dec. Twenty Chica-
go brewing companies are threatened
with a strike of keg beer drivers and
helpers, for refusing to pay the lat
ter for Thanksgiving day.
According to the employees they
worked extra hard and overtime for
two days previous to Thanksgiving,
and as they are paid by the month
expected to be paid for the holiday.
But when they received their wages
today, on days wages was deducted.
Protest will be made tomorrow to
Austin j. Doyle, secretary of the Chi
cago and Milwaukee brewers associa-
ton, and unless the wages deducted
are forthcoming the drivers threaten
to strike.
The deduction is understood to be
in line with economic policy adopted
by the brewers, who have laid off hun
dreds of employees in order to prevent
profits from being reduced.

Is to accept the reports as sent In from
