 The famous Metropolitan Vocal sGuartet will do their prettiest. this being the occasion of their first visit to. Waterbury. and no doubt their singing will make lasting impression sas they are certainly four grand vo- calists.
 Master Leo Bonacher. the wonder ,ful boy mandolinist. will also create sthe greatest surprise with his bril- Liant technique and fine artistic con- ception, while the Harmony Banjo club and Young Troubadours will merit their full share of the applause
 Neither pains nor expense has been spared to make this concert the most elaborate, most artistic, best staged and finest affair of it's kind ever giv- Zen in this city. It is therefore grat- flying to know that it Is also going to he financial success as the sale of reserved seats has been very large Those who intend to attend should procure their seats now as there are not very many good ones left unsold They are on sale at the box office. {.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES

There is fun for all in the current show at the Jacques. the bill being a finely assorted one to catch the multi pucity of tastes that well regulated vaudeville show Is supposed to touch. For those who like eccentric aero batics the Four Rianos have an act that is the very essence of fun and the delft way in which they mix nov city and sensationalism with the fun makes it additionally attractive. For those who like their comedy in more polite form Harry Linton and the Sisters Lawrence have an offering called ''Three of Kind' that is thor oughly satisfying. And each of the other acts has its vein Of comedy. the contributors being Searl and yio- let Allen, Binl. Bom. Berr, Cooper and Bailey. Miss Wyune Winslow, Reed and Shaw. and the electrograph. Prices are 10, % and 30 cents; after. MOODS 10 and 20 centsr ladies 10.
