for brief tours to the large cities an nually. For the present tour, whicE embraces the performance at Polls to- night, he is satisfied that he has the best attraction he has ever offered amusement seekers. He has retained for this season the real stars of last seasons company, including Marie Dressler, Charles A. Bigelow, Sam Collins, Trixie Friganza, Sam Marion,
 Edythe Mover and Frank Hatch, and has added to them such bright lum- inaries as Marion Carson, Ernest Lam- bart and others. With such a com pany of splendid singing funmakers it is certain that the double bill arranged by Author Edgar Smith and Com poser Maurice Levi, "Higgledy Piggle- dy" and ''The College Widower," will be played with the sole aim of giving theater patrons the most satisfactory evenings fun which could be devised. ''Higgledy Piggledy" deals principally with the adventures of Adolph Schnits (Joe Weberl, wealthy manufacturer; Gotlieb Gesler (Sam Collins), president of the American Swiss Cheese Sand wich Trust; Philopena Schnitz (AIarie Dressler), heiress to her fathers mus tard millions, and Sandy Walket (Charles A. Bigelow), "rail-bird" with clipped wings in Paris at the Cafe D'Armenonville. Here they encounter Mimi De Chartreuse CTrixie Friganza). patron saint of the Parisiarf "Bo- hemia;" Charles Stringham Ernest Lambart, Gesler's nephew; Waldorf Lamb Edward ]. Connelly), a New Yorker, with numerous other charac- ters and punches of American tourists. Complications arise over the attempts of Schnitz and Gesler to marry Philo. pena to Gesler's blase nephew. Philo- pena, with q mind of her own, decides that she will marry Sandy Walker. while the nephew is determined to win as his bride Mimi De Chartreuse. There are laughs without number il the dialogue and situations which fol low. "The College Widower'' is Edgar Smiths cleverest parody. It follows the characters and story of George Ade's "The College Widow to a dot. but burlesques every movement and sentence in such enjoyable fashion that 1t is one continuous laugh during it's action. Prices are S2. S1.j0, $1, T5 and 50 cents. No free list.

hitting, too, that it was only the sec ond performance of "The Embassy Ball" It was production written by that great play writer, Augustus Thom-, as, author of some of the best contri- buttons to the theatrical field. It was dramatized for that peer of English actors, in his particular line, Lawrence DOrsay. It was presented under the management of Daniel Fr0hman, whose name alone is synonym of sue cessful dramatic work. It was staged with more than the usual scenic eff fleets. In fact, the elaborateness of the scenes in settings and furnishings as
 tonished even the most eXpectant the ater attendant. Best of all, however, was the company, artists all of them. It was not one man or one woman production, either, and the dramatic ability and versatility of each was given full scope. It was not produc
 ton that would cause one to break out in frenZied applause in certain spots of the play, but 1t was production that held the interest and the close at tention of the audience throughout each act and at the end of each caused a spontaneous and well deserved ap- preciation of the work of the cast. The play in its plot treats of the dis turbances between Colombia and Pan anna, in which disturbances the United States and England became interested. The sale of bonds of the Panama canal are involved and members of the Eng fish embassy become involved and in- cidentally entangle several wives of Americans who are combating rival interests. Lawrence D'0rsay as Cap tain Hawarden-Kellie, was thrown into congenial part, perhaps as clever q character as he has eyer been called on to impersonate. So many stories have been written of this clever En- lishman that it was a pleasure to see him in a role where he could fully full fill all the tales told of him. And what company he had to fill all the other parts in the production. Stars all of them, and those who were present last evening more than appreciated the work of W. B. Hitchcock as Frank Marshall, Ida Darling as Mrs Wether- ell, Stanley Dark as Neville Parr, Marion Barney as Mrs Sue Marshall, Harry Harwood as Bidwell Jarrett, one of the best characters of the kind seen in many days; Charlotte Walker as Emily Jarrett, one of the bright features of the production, and E. w. Morrison as Senor Cordoza. All the others deserve praise. and as a whole the production was admirable and de serving of much better attendance.

There have. been pony" pallets, flying" pallets, ''aeriar' pallets, ''squabs," pigeons" and "broilers," but Richard Carle, who will be seen at Polrs Friday night in 'The Mayor of Tokio," has gone previous stage nomen- clature one better in christening the six clever little dancing girls, who ap- pear among his supporting company, the peanut ballet" In Chicago, where the Carle piece was presented no times during the past summer, the girls became so popular that the ballet gradually was dropped from their title and they came to be known merely as the peanuts" The personnel of these charming little dancers is quite Inter- esting inasmuch as its six members represent as many different natlonali- ties, they are all under 20 years of age and none has been on the stage more than two seasons. They are chaper- oned by Mrs l.. T. Brandon, mother of Miss Helen Brandon. She travels en tour with the girls, arranges for all of them to stop at the same hotel and binds them about with restrictions that are in many ways similar to the rules in vogue at private schools, with the exception of the hours for rising and retiring. which are naturally excep- tional because of the girls profession. Prices for "The Mayor of TOkio' are S1.J0, S1, T5, 30 and 9 cents. Sale opens Thursday.

THE EMBASSY BALL.

It would only be natural for the man. agement of the local theaters to feel disheartened many times when the realization is forced upon that manage ment that Waterbury does not, as a general thing, appreciate sufficiently an exceedingly clever performance. to attest that appreciation by attending in greater numbers. Last night Polls theater held a very meagre attendance, and it is safe to say it. the theater- going people who really love a cleverly enacted drama will seldom have an opportunity during the rest of the sea son of seeing a better production, ad-

Mime. Bernhardt from going on the stage and thus almost robbed the world of Its greatest actress.
 It Is not generally known, but Is nev- ertheless true, that Mime. Bernhardt in her youth was seized with desire to become a nun. She entered Mime. Fres- sard's school at Auteull in 1858 and at once became notable for her religious fervor. In 1855 she went to the Grand champs convent at Versailles, and there in 1857 she announced her intention of taking the veil. Her success in the per formance of Biblical play enacted in the convent for the entertainment of visiting archbishop turned her thoughts to dramatic work
 Two years later she was so moved by seeing two dramas, "Brittanicus" and "Amphitryon," at the Theatre Francals that brain fever ensued. Immediately upon her recovery Mime. Bernhardt re- nounced her intention of becoming a nun, and in 1860 she entered the Con servatolre. At the opening trial she re- cited as her test piece Les Deux Pl- geons" with such effect as to gain espe- eIal praise from Auber, the head of the jury.
 Mime. Bernhardt had as teachers at the Conseryatoirs those great masters Provost and Samson, the Samson who drilled Rachel.
 Under this tuition she advanced so rapidly that in 1881 she won the second prize in tragedy and In 1862 the second prize in comedy. Thus did Mime. Bern hardt's enthusiasm not only give her to the stage, but also gave her success upon 1t ROBERT BUTLER.

Not a Sea Power.

From the Portland Oregonian.
Russia, il Is said. intends to rebuild
her navy. What for? The Russian
people never have been able to do any
thing on the sea. The "watery king
dom" Is not their kingdom. They are
not "at home on the rolling deep"
They have no capacity for the quick
mechanical adaptation, guided by ORR
ginal intelligence, necessary to success
IN naval effort Any man can be made
into soldier because the land Is
mans native theatre of acton. But
az sea he is in the presence OF new
forces wholly strange TO him. He has
everything to learn. The demand is
for a science of which few are cap
able. Plenty of men who would like
to have commissions in the army
wouldn't want commissions In the
navy. for life on the sen demands spe-
cial preparation and special skin.
But a is not liSely that Russia will
attempt or begin 10 rebuild her navy
very soon. She will make peace with
Japan. because 1t is an absolute ne-
cessity. The terms of the peace will
be such as TO cut her off virtually from
all the ambitious projects she has been
pursuing on the Pacific. a navy can
do her no good az either extremity OF
her empire. Russia is land power
not a sea power, nor Is she likely to
become a sea power within the pres-
ent century if ever. To look beyond
her own vast territory and out upon
the sea is not her function And be-
Sides the probability is that for a
long tine to come she will be fully
occupied with the 'stew" in progress
at home.
