KISSES FOR SIMMONS
Man Who Provoked Theater Row H.
 Hard Time ACtinE.

Jacques theater last evening was the scene of a terrible uproar caused by the growing unpopularity of the lead ing man, Earle c. Simmons. The mo- ment he appeared on the stage in "Thelma" the gallery gods, as well as some in other parts of the house, set up bowling that alarmed nervous people in the audience. The uproar was deafening and Miss Grace Hay ward. who was on the stage at the time had to withdraw, and Simmons had to retire also.
 The outburst was caused by the de- cisions given in the cases of Simmons and the stage hands whom he accused of assaulting him last Friday night If the sentences had been hansposed it would have been some balm to the friends of the acting stage manager at the time, Henry Delaney. who was fined S25 and costs, while Simmons, who began. the trouble, was fined only S5 and costs. But it is on that point the public is in the dark. Judge Bur- pee's view of the matter released Sim mons from good deal of the blamS LOl tuC DuL Il DCIuHCS Auu retaliated when he was insulted he would have struck back in self de- fense. Instead of that however, hf permitted the insulter to proceed witl his business on the stage. He allowed his own anger to cool off, so that fro -n the courts view of the matter. De- laney struck Simmons in cold blood. No doubt Delaney would have struck Simmons the moment he was insulted by him, but by doing so he would un- questionably mar the pleasure of the evening for the audience by rendering Simmons unable to proceed with his part. Hamlet in blonde wig may be all right, but "Monte Cristo" with black eyes would never go.
 From the demonstration of last evening it was evident that Attorney Minor knew what he was talking about when he said fin reply to Attor- ney Cassidy that the reputation of the city suffers far more from the presence of such men as Simmons than from the presence of such men as Delaney, who was born here and lived here all his life, and expects to live here after Simmons's name is forgotten.
 Simmons has undoubtedly lost his hold on the public. It was impossible to go on with the performance last evening until the police had been called in. And even then the audience mani fested their feelings by applauding every actress and actor in the piece ex- cept Simmons. He was givec misses. If Manager Jacques has any rower or authority in the premises. perhaps t would be a good thing to remove the cause of all this trouble. Waterbury is no place for man like SimmorS. who. it would seem, thinks he towers above the men and women, too. who are the mainstay of the Jacques busi- ness. It would seem as though now is the time to act, before any more outbreaks like the last occur. Let us have peace at the theater Those who pay their good money do so to see the performance. and not to listen to cat calls and misses. If this can be rem edied by removing the cause, Manager Jacques owes it to his patrons to act quickly and in the right direction.

The pride of every housekeeper Is her table service, and nothing adds so much to her pleasure as the ability to place on her table a few pieces of cut glass; but cut glass is luxury in which the majority. of housekeepers cannot indulge. This fact has encour- aged manufacturers to search for a substitute and they have found 1t ill Pres-Cut, which is made heavy and in cut glass patterns. The process used not only strengthens the ware but gives it the brilliancy of the genuine cut, and this lustre will last as long as the article itself. We have an as sortment of this ware and the price is no more than the same styles made in
 common glass. Come and examine 1t.

Then they can be seen passing money from one to the other. The game is sim plicity itself. and can be played pub licly without the slightest danger of discovery or fear of a raid.
 All of the automobiles in New York have a number Those with numerals ranging from one to nine are counted as ca .rds. according to Mir Roche Zeros are arbitrarily given the value either of tens or jacks. The way to play the game is for each man to take an auto in turn. The number that contains the best poker hand wins. Thus. 13131 would make an ace full on trays: or No. 115I1 would be trans lated as two pairs. aces up.
