ADGIE'S LIONS

From a human freak in the person of Carry Nation to a genuine animal curiosity in the shape of Adgie's line is the shift of headline at the Jacques this wek. Mile Adgie doesn't t come to Waterbury as a stranger. for there are still vivid mem ories Of her fascinating and daring performance in the den with her lions last season. Her act, while startling in it's novelty and thrilling in its daring wasrega rded last season as about the most fascinatingly attractive thing shown on this stage, and it will be remembered $Aat 1t drew audiences that taxed the JaN8ues to it's utmost capacity at every performance. The element of danger that ss always present every time Mile Adgie goes into the den with her ferocious beasts has undoubtedly much 70 do with ler d
 ing interest to the exhibition she gives, but certain it Is that there is an ire siStable vaccination about the scene that impels the closest attention of ev- cry spectator, indeed, one can almost hear the sighs of relief that are breathed by the audience when the brave young woman, after flashing the three huge lions and sending them leap ing and snarling around her for fifteen minutes, at last jumps from the cage while the huge lions snarl and spit at her retreating form. 1t is almost hor- Yibly fascinating, ono might say, but withal wonderfully interesting and at tractive. With the sensational comedy is mixed much comedy that makes the rest of the show entertaining. The bill includes Merville and Fillmore In law,who shows Paris as an Ir1shman Saw It, MT and Mrs Bar ", Baby Lund, Reidy and Uurier, old singing favor1tes, whose "Why Did We Drift Apart?' is well remembered, the Kings burys and the ElectrogEaph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and % cents, ladies 10.
