DESIRED EFFECT

Fall River. Mass, May 3--Reports
from many Of the corporations which
have been shutting down their cotton
mills two days each week indicate that
the curtailment of the past month has

Some Of the manufacturers favor a
complete shutdown of all the mills here
unless relief is shortly forthcoming

GRACE VAN .STUDDIFORD.

A rich treat is assured those who visit Polls Thursday evening, when Grace Van Studdiford appears in the latest De Koven opera, "The Red Feather" with the original production from the Lyric theater, New York. Miss Van Studdiford. is recognized as having one of the finest voices ever heard ill light opera. She was for two seasons the peer of the Boston ians organization. No soprano known to that famous company had before held such sway as she did Glorious as was her voice ill Maid Marion" critics say in ''The Red Feather she far surpasses her previous work. De Koven has taken. care that some u11- usually fine numbers should fall to her share of the opera, and it is said that even the gems of his earlier work Robin Hood, are eXceiled by the solos Miss StuddifOrd renders in Red Feather" She is also beautiful wo- man. and an xcellent actress. The company engaged by MT ZiegfeId has won great reputation and the chorus contains what is termed in theater parlance "show girls"-beauties such we have seen in Anna Held produc- tions. They have voices, too. we are told, that put previous New York comic opera presentations completely i'll the shade. "Red Feather holds the record run of real comic opera of recent date in New York. Charles Klein is responsible for the book and Charles Emerson Cook is the author of the lyrics. The sale of seats opens tomorrow at p, B, 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Excellent results attended the open ing performances of this weeks bill at the Jacques yesterday, even the proyerbial knocker who is always on hand Monday conceding the bill to be right. In the leading position Me Waters, Tyson and company score in a skit entitled vaudeville" It is styled on the bill spectacular musi- cal comedy and in so far as such title can be applied to vaudeville turn it fits the conditions. It includes little of everything in the way of singing and dancing and comedy, MT Nc Waters introducing several songs that are bound to become popular on the streets during the week because of their whistleable character. As a
 headline act "Vaude7ille'' is some thing of novelty also ill that it is put on with several scenes and some fine electrical effects. It should prove, judging from yesterdays suc- cess, an effective and popular head liner. The accompanying bill has a number of excellent features, particu-
 larly good being the work of Carl Dammann's troupe of acrobats But
 more pleasing, perhaps. than even this feature was debonair Jack Nomoth in his merry monologue. although pretty Louise Dresser ran him a very close race for popular favor with yester- days audiences. Others on the bill are MT and Mrs Allen Shaw in a com ic manipulating novelty, Fields and i Hanson in lively comedy musical act, Willie Gardner and the electro graph. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents. ladies 10. The election results will be announced from the stage during this evenings l performance.
