@ARRAH-NA-POGUE.p

In this beautiful Irish play, which is being presented at Polls this after noon and will be repeated this even Ing. J. K. Murray has play that dis plays his talents as an Irish comedian to great advantage, and also admits of introducing some beautiful new songs As romance "Arrah- -Pogue'' is un- surpassed; as an Irish drama it is un- Bqualled; and as a literary work it is Immortal. For It's author, Dion Bouci- cault, it brought fame and fortune. and for its subsequent producers it has always brought most gratifying fnan- rial results Such picturesque scenes as the ruins of Kevin's Abbey, Bally- pefagh castle, the ancient prison and It's lofty battlements, admit of splendid Hsplay of scenic art and mechanical lnd electrical effects. The play is rich m romantic interest, dainty love scenes, exciting events, rich comedy snd subtle Irish wit, all blended in plausible dramatic sequence. There Is nothing dragged in for effect nor far-fetched Inconsistency in "Arran- na-Pogue." Everything is natural, pgfcal and convincing. Prices are 25, B and 30 cents.

The Failure.


 After a year abroad Gwendolin Var Eggsandham had returned to her home a finished vocalist
 In order to properly celebrate the home coming her parents gave must cale, to which they invited all the town It was to be the event of the year, and Gwendolin was to sing.
 After the first number, which the fair songstress had rendered with spirit and correctness, an old friend of the family found MT. Eggsandham beneath the embalmed palm in the corner of the dining room weeping bitterly.
 "Why, Henry" exclaimed the old friend. what is the cause of your sad. ness7 Has any one said anything "No, mo-" replied MT. Eggsandham ':but to think that have spent all my money on Gwendolin's musical educa. tion, only to have it turn out to be such a failure! This is too muchv'
 Failure? Why, hear the applausev T do," replied MT. Eggsandham, "but that is merely perfunctory. Every one knows she will never be a great artist You can hear every word she utters when she singsv'

 At this point a man with a harsh, rasping voice rose up in the back part of the hall.
 "Will you allow me to interrupt you for a moment?" he asked.

A CHINEsB HONEYMOON


 The successful English comedy, A Chinese Honeymoon, received its 6rst production before a Waterbury idience last night and for nearly free hours furnished much pleasure or the large audience. If the ob ect bf the authors of this charming com edy was to entertain and amuse and aelight the theater-goers while at the ZSame time to fill the coffers of the Management and gain large royalties Tor the authors, then the comedy is a brand success. 1t is matter of eoubt which object is being more esilly realized. This latest importa- hon in the line of musical comedy Hoes not vastly differ from a number of. its predecessors, which were ac- corded a fatter1ng reception from the American public. It is attractive to tT1e eye and pleasing to the ear. Ii contains a number of bright things, possesses fair share of the music which enlivens and inspires, little Not, whole lot Of nonsense. Con. 9dered in it's entirety the comedy nay be included in the first class, but not at the top of it. It has a humber of defects and does not pos tess such bright, catchy and sweet lyrics as some comedies which have lppeared here. Full justice is not Hone to the comedy by the cast of characters With two or three ex- septions the company which appeared 1t Polls last night is not a strong combination.

air comedienne. Miss Katie Barry. This star shone very brightly last night. No clouds or specks obscured her shining light. Ever bright and merry and gay, vivacious in SD rit and lively in action, her very app a an e was sufficient to evoke much laughter. But she is not only funny and dloIl, but very clever. She, alone is suf-
 dcient to drive the blues away. Her singing was delightfully."- pleasing and the audience could not hear too much Of it. Miss Julia Sanderson was a pretty Mrs Pineapple, but her sing ing could not be compared to her beauty. Her actions were marked with a charming grace. Fred w. Mace played the leading part of Sam uel Pineapple In a fairly acceptable manner, while William Pruette and George Broderick assisted Miss Bar ry in singing the lyrics in the man. ner that they should be- The en- .tire chorus was well drilled. The e was fine blending of tone and har- mony of voices. But the blddesma ds' chorus was decidedly weak. The members of this chorus put little life or dash into their songs or move ments. They were more attentive to young men in the audience. There was but little plot to the play. Musi- cal comedies do not need plots. The more simple 1t is, the more pleasing. The people want to sit in their seats and just look and listen and laugh and enjoy the combination of the sa- rious and ridiculous. the sensible and the nonsensical, the light, the merry and the gay. Their desires were granted last night.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.


 The Four Lukens renewed their pop ularity, at the Jacques yesterday re- beating with marked success the sen sational aerial flights they indulged in at Mondays performances. There is excitement enough in the Lukens' act to set the dullest spectator on edge, and it is little wonder that their daring exhibition should be greeted with thunders of applause. AS a headliner this act is all to the good and patrons Of the Jacques are at no loss for enter tainment while it is on. The other numbers of the bill are directed to laughter creations generally, and right well do they fill the purpose, and Mile Emmy creates considerable amuse- ment with her beautiful trained skye terriers, while William Cahill keeps ev- eryone jolly with jokes. Others on the bill are MT and Mrs Harry Thorne, Bertie Fowler, Hughey Fla herty, Barry and Brown and the cleo trograph. Prices are 1O, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, la7 dies 1O
