The play is dramatization of Frances Hodgson Burnett's charming Efovel, ''The Pretty Sister of Jose" The scenes of the play are located in Spain. It has all the atmosphere, the toloring, the music so characteristic of Spanish people, even to the bull fight hnd the heroic matador, with whom bll the girls of the countryside fall in love. Miss Adams is described as making an ideal Spanish maiden, and the character she assumes fairly bub- bles over with mirth and humor, giv- Ing this eminent American actress Bplendid opportunities for the display bf her genius in comedy role, and at the same time in the latter scenes of the play where she exhibits q spirit of bathos that Is nothing short of marvel bus Henry Ainley, a young English bctor, is Miss Adams's leading man, bnd plays the part of the bull-fghter.

1.-THE WATERBURIANs."

The big musical extravaganza, 'T'he Waterburians." which will be pro- duced a. Polls theater with exactly 920 of Waterbury's best talent in the cast, January % and 30, will truly be replete with catchy music. Already half the population are whistling and humming the tunes, and the popular salute on the street seems to be Are you a Waterburian?" It was intend ed by the management to keep these catchy airs from the public until after the first production next week, but with 920 people singing them over and over at their daily rehearsals this was found quite impossible. The following have been written especially for Wa terbury, and judging from the populari- ty they have already gained. will make Waterbury famous. The most catchy ones are: "A Right Bright Man from Yale" We're Football Boys from the w. H. S..' 1.-Two Merry Oakville Maids,'' "Good Morning, Dear Old Wa terbury," "He Tumbled Into Belleview Lake" "Oh Come to the Forest Park Feast" and "De Waterbury Coon am de Coon dat I Adore"

WATERVlLLE.

Bad Spot in Sidewalk May Cause
 Trouble Yet.
 There is a very bad place in the sidewalk between Carney's and the Waterville drug store. This place is bad enough ill good weather, when walking is good. The difference in the grades of the walk is about one foot in the grade of the Carter prop erty and in that of the Garrigus.' A number, have had bad falls here and if the board of public works does not have this place fixed they will have a bill for damages to pay someone. If the walk was graded back for ten or fifteen feet they could easily get around this abrupt spot.

WILLIAM FAVERSHAM.

Only a fair sized audience saw 'Lord and Lady Algy" played by Will liam Faversham and competent com pany at Polls last evening. This was the second performance of this piece in this city. The first act would seem to be given up to advertising certain brands of cigarettes. It is very "talky' and closely bordering on the tedious. The play depends entirely upon the actors to fill the coffers of the owner, Charles Frohman. It shows a masked ball in full swing, and "Lord Algy" is present very much under the influence of intoxicants. Here is where Mir Faversham shows his splen- did ability as an actor. He is sutfi- ciently intoxicated to be irresponsible for his actions. but yet his innate good nature comes to the surface and prompts him to try to patch up q fam, fly difference. For the furtherance of the plot his advances are rejected, but everything comes right in the final act. The play is supposed to be represen- tation of high life in England. and the plot is centered around dissatisfied young wife, who misunderstands her husband. .

CARRIE NATION COMING.

Manager Poli isscertainly a resource
 man, as he has shown in hundred
 ys since he took up the direction of
 e bookings at the Jacques. But in thing, perhaps, that he has done has
 shown more ingenious enterprise
 hn in the engagement of Mrs Carrie
 ton to follow as a headliner the
 low that will have it's last presenta- Sn this evening. No woman that has &shed upon the world in the past few
 lars has been so much talked about
 Mrs Nation because of her original
 ny of enforcing her anti-liquor selling
 bas, and there is naturally a pro- )und interest to see just what kind of &person she is. Mir Poli has chosen
 satisfy local curiosity by being the
 st person to introduce her here. He
 Is insisted, however that she leave t c local saloons alone, and there is no kelihood, therefore. that she will in- Zpduce any of her Kansas methods 5to Waterbury. Mrs Nation will con De herself to telling about her expert \ Ices with the saloon keepers of Kan

That peo- #e who expect to find her freak will B disappointed is more than likely, nd they will be surprised to see what difference there is in the real Carrie |ation from what the newspapers have hinted her. Mir Poli has provided a ery strong vaudeville show in con ection with Mrs Nation, however, as E feels that people, however much ! ey may be entertained by her, will fant some vaudeville comedy besides. |mong the acts booked are those of josephine Gassman and her pickanin- |es, Burto Lewando Wilson's Bijou |rcus.
