MRS LESLIE CARTER.

Waterbury will undoubtedly avail Itself strongly of it's first and probably its only opportunity to see Mrs Leslie
 Carter by turning out in unprecedent-
 ed numbers this evening when she ap- pears at Polls in David Belasco's mag nificent production of "Du Barry" , While there are still a few seats left unsold, these will undoubtedly be
 taken before the curtain is rung up on Ethe great production. It is worthy of note that Mrs Carter's company has tnot been changed in the matter of it's
 personnel since the first performance ill New York city three seasons ago, neither has the immediate production been altered in any way, and the local patrons of the theater are certain to witness idSsltically the same perform ance as was given by Mrs, Carter for l3S4 times at the Belasco theater, New ! York Mrs Carter's magnetic person ality and brilliant art illHmine the role of ha. Du Barry as they. never before have any other part she has played.
 The -eroine of the Belasco piece af- fords her untrammeled opportunities
 tor the exploitation of her delightful lcomedy, her fine powerful emotional
 moments and vein of tragedy that the artist has never previously dis closed The splendor of genius so transcendent as is Mrs Carter's is never yelled or harrassed by oppor- ttunfty's limitations or even shadowed N5y any medium of expression. It mat ters little what the play may be-for lthe time being Mrs Carter may be Maryland Calvert in 'rhe Heart sof kNIaryland," or poor, unfortunate Zaza
 of the music halls or the beautiful Dt1 { Barry, the kings favorite-her marvel sous Illuminating Individuality pervades
 and supercedes everything else She
 queens it over the prismatic gamut of
 feminine emotions with all the facility
 and authority that Patti does over a
 chromatic scale. From the tremulous
 purple tones of tenderness to flaming
 violence and rhapsody of passion Mrs Garter holds the undisputed sway of
 favored goddess of the drama. The
 opportunity to- see her should not be Host by any lover of true dramatic art.
 Prices are 50 cents. $1, S1.50 and $2, and ladies will have acess to the gal |Ilery. There will be no free list.

BEN HUR's" DRAffATIST
The Brilliant Man Who Arranged the
 Book for the Stage.

William Young, who dramatlzeo General Lew Wallace's Ben Hur for Klaw Sc Erlanger is almost entlre- lv known by his works. Amid the tremendous secenes of enthusiasm which swept through the Broadway theater, New York citys few years ago when Ben Hur" received US first presentation, with the people fairly wild to reward him with their plaudits, MT Young quietly slipped out of the playhouse and disappeared. Those who know him best can easily understand such an act. for the glare of publicity is extremely distasteflll to him. A poet and d(essayist of dist1nc- tion as well as a dramatlst of h1gh order, Mir Young's name is a familiar one in high-grade publications. After being graduated at college MT Young studied law and was admitted to the bar, but the profession. did not allure him. His mind and tastes drew him to the stage, and he determined to be- come a playwright. In order that he should possess the proper technical knowledge the young dramattst De- came an actor for a time. This was promptly abandoned as soon as his ob-g ject was attained.
 His first play was "Jonquie,' pro- duced by Edwin Booth at Booths theater, New York, then came Pen dragon" a tragedy in blank verse, to which Lawrence Barrett gave a su- perb production A similar tra agedy, "Ganelon," was also produced by Lawrence Barrett His "Rajah'' which. ran for 250 nights at the Madison Square theater showed the versatility of his genius. Among his other works was the adaptation of Bernhardt's Joan of Arc" produced by Margaret Mather. Mir Young has been especial ly successful in his dramatization Of Ben Hur." Not only has he caught the spirit of General Wallace's great novel but the dialogue is written III the authors lofty, dignified and vivid ly picturesque style MT Young has handled the religious side of the story with sincere and delicate apprecia- ton of the danger of intrusion upon sacred theme There is not a mo- ment in Ben Hur" when the highest Christian sentiment is not carefully guarded and preserved The utmost care has been taken to avoid the sem blance of any word or act which would give the slightest offense to those who are opposed to stage representation of religious subjects
 The sale of seats Nor Ben Hur." which will be presented at Polls next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,. will open on Thursday of this week.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES


 Manager Polls latest headIiners at the Jacques, May Edouin and Fred Ed- wards, are being greeted by q very en- thus1astic audience this afternoon. and the success they are meeting augurs well for a week k.of triumph. The pair are appearing in a sketch entitled "A Bachelors Dream,' which was written with a special view to the exploitation of Miss Edouin's versatility. During the course of the sketch she appears in several different characters that call for varied dialects and character songs and dances, but it is in the great laugh ing song made famous by her mother, Alice Atherton, that she scores her biggest hit. This she does exceeding, ly well. indeed, and she makes aIto- gether an impression that is bound to maker her most popular headliner. As a special feature Manager Poli is pre- senting the Ayolos, pair of European gymnasts who introduce most senSa- tional bit of tumbling. They are said to be the only men in the world who throw double somersaults from perpen- dicular poles. Tn the other numbers of the bill comedy and novelty are deftly intermingled making a capital show throughout. Contributors are Fred S. Stuber, who. is hera1ded as the worlds greatest banjo player; James
