"SKY FARM"

SKY FARM"
 Polls is crowded with a delighted audience this afternoon, and it will. undoubtedly be crowded again this evening, because of the interest that is felt in Edward E. Kidder's beautiful rural drama Sky Farm" AS may De inferred from the title, the play is of; the "Old Homestead" order, but fash toned, nearer to the hour. The story is claimed to be drawn from life and IS more plausible than the average bu- collie drama. The finesse that Is so pleasingly noticeable in metropolitan presentations of city life is copied Tn this one of "Sky Farm" The author Of the manuscript is responsible TOT numerous other successful comedies, especially those in which the late Sol Smith Russell was so long and prohta- bly featured. The theme of sky Farm" is love in quadrupled form. de- picted naturally rather than roman tically. It is an unaffected narrative enhanced by natural country humor without exaggeration. It Is fairiy bubbling over with fun and love, It's l heart interest is of a fascinating char acter. If has no moments of long drawn out misery or sickly sentimental. l ity and so can scarcely be improved upon as clean satisfactory entertain ment. Prices are 25, 35. 50, 75 cents and S1.

 Such a tremendous success has been scored by this weeks show at the Jacques that there will undoubtedly be another very large audience to see the final performance of it this even ing. AS a feature to head the bill, Manager Poli has secured the Juggling Johnsons, who stand without their peers in all the world in the art of juggling and swinging and handling Indian clubs. It is European act and one that has made a sensation ev- anywhere in the world. On this occa- sion of its first appearance in Water l bury it is expected to duplicate the sen- sation it has made. everywhere else. and 1t is believed that before the firsS day of the week shall have passed ev- eryone in town will be talking of this marvellous act.

His Moments of Joy.

Did you ever hear of the strange
man who went out to a summer hotel
once for q holiday? He impressed ON
the clerk the first day he was there
that 1t was Of vital importance that he
be called at 6 o'clock next morning.
He was called. He didn't come down
stairs till 2 In the afternoon. The in
junction to the clerk was repeated ev-
cry day, and every day the mysterious
guest staid in his room till late In the
afternoon. When he had been at the
place a week and was about to leave,
the clerk said to him:
Il beg your pardon, sir; it's none of
my business, but why have you left Or
ders to be called at 6 o'clock every
morning and never got out Of bed till
several hours laterY'
"Well." he replied, "T'n tell you.
Back in the city I've got q Job that
compels me to get up every morning,
summer and winter, at 6 o'clock. This
Is my first vacation for five years. Ev.
cry day when your bellboy has come
up stairs and banged at the door I've
started up to dress and get down to the
office and then suddenly let the convic-
ton steal blissfully over my brain that
| didn't have to. Then I've gone back
to bed. Rugged the pillow and dreamed
that l was in the Elysian fields. That
moment Of Joy that has followed the
banging on my door every morning has
been worth three times the price Of the
bill."-Chicago Times Herald.
