SHADOWS OF A GREAT CITY"

The scene in Shadows of Great City" the drawing card at Poli's tomorrow afternoon and evening, showing Hell Gate, East river, New York, will be given with real water, of which 10000 gallons will be used on the stage, and with the great city lighted up in the background the picture is perfect re- production of this famous waterway. Enc water will be deep enough on the stage to float real boats with real peo- pie i'll them and with the escape Of the prisoners from Blaekwell's Island prison, the attempt to drown little child, the rescue by the convict, who dives head foremost into the water and saves her, the electrical storm, the great moving clouds, the immense re volving scenes and a splendid company headed by Sadie Connolly, who plays the happy -go-lucky Biddy Roman in 6 manner which keeps the audience in a roar of laughter nearly all the time she is on the stage, combinesso make up a splendid attraction. Prices are 9 cents for the matinee. and 9, 8 and 90 cents for the evening perform ance.

way, the fickleness of the theatrical patrons. True, you might say that ju- dicious and catchy advertising has much to do with the patronage Of a production, but in the present case which is under criticism there can be no such claim, for certainly the pro- duction of "'The Shadow Behind the Throne" received its fair and appfo- priate share of advance matter. Yet this prelude to a short criticism is called up when you stop to think that only few nights ago a blood and thunder play drew out big audience, while production such as the one last night had but meager attendance. Perhaps the reason for this might be found in the fact that Monday was La bor day. the great majority of the theatrical patrons had enjoyed them selves during that day, theatrically and otherwise, and last night. they were resting and recuperating from their strenuous life of the day before. All this leads up to the one fact that very good. instructive and we'll con- ceiyed play received a very cold shoul- der
 It is not perfectly in order to speak first of the scenic properties. but there was such a profusion of them last night and so remarkable and appropri- ate that they call for special criticism. You can imagine, If you did not see them, what they were when you real ize that not one bit of local scenery was used even to the tormentors. Such wealth of scenic effects has seldom been seen in the local theater and ey- cry bit of it arranged and created as near to the original as possible. Some of the appurtenances were directly im- ported from China to create more vivid picture during the enacting of the scenes And the costumes as well added to the prettiness of the pictures | revolving throughout the various l scenes. As to the cast of characters present | ing the production, only words Of praise can be spoken for each and ev- cry one. Naturally much interest was attached to the work of Leander De Cordova and Charles Gibney. the fo-' mer one of the authors of the produc. ton and the latter playing one of the leading characters and having in charge the staging of the production. The work of the play enacts many scenes incidental to the troubles in China when the Christian people were assailed by the Boxers. Mir De Cor dova in the character of the mandarin was especially strong and inspiring. while MT Gibney as the yiceroy was equally clever. Every member of the cast had difficult role and when you say that every character was well en- acted you tell the whole story. It was discouraging to play before such a small audience. but the management should secure a return date and the theater would undoubtedly be packed to the doors. It is play that will ap- peal to your intellect. sympathy and is an educational presentation as well.

JOKE ON THE BRIDEGROOM.

Wrong Trunk Sent to Him and He
 Has No Wedding Suit.
 New Britain, Sept 6.-Walter J. Me Isaacs. who is to be married to-day in St Joseph's Catholic church, begins to think he has been made the victim of a joke. A day or two ago he ship ped his trunk, containing his wedding suit. from his home in Lynn, Mass. to this city. The trunk was a new enc. but the one that WIS delivered at tie home .of ahe lntended bride was an , old. diIapidated 'affair. Mir Mclsases had it returned to the station. He ot first thought the mistake had been made there. Investigation proved otb- erwise. A trailer has been sent and Mir McIsaacs hopes to have his own trunk and wedding clothes before the wedding. Friends saw him of from his home in Lynn and it is thought that they may have changed the checks as a joke. The trunk NIT NC Isaacs received bore New Brunswlck mark and his trunk may have gone there.

and Abbott avenue had to be opened half an hour earlier than usual Mon day afternoon to relieve the stress of things on the sidewalk and the entire house was sold out half an hour be- fore overture time. Hundreds anxious to be in on the opening of the season were turned away and the same tale was continued at night. The attrac- tion was not altogether the change from stock company productions to ya- riety, but the offerings on the bill them selves did more than everything else. Vaudeville has been in existence in this city long enough now to give the patrons of the Jacques an opportunity of learning the names and quality of acts the booking offices possess, and like the followers of the ponies the dope" of past performances" is all powerful with them. Everyone knows that there is not more winsome dancer or cleyerer woman on the va- riety stage to-day than Miss Josephine Cohan, who is heading the bill Miss Cohan has long before this day demon strated her claim to importance, and her performance at the Jacques in the little sketch Friday the 13th' is sim ply another additional exhibition O: the entertaining powers for which she is renowned And mind you when you drop in to see the bill to keep your eye on the players who are supporting Miss Cohan in the comedietta. No more able assistance has ever been seen in this house than that given the efforts of the headliner by Messrs Powers and Chatterton. Fred Niblo has swept his audiences off their feet with his monologue which is like Miss Cohan's dancing. sui generis. Naida with her spectacularly beautiful dances, Murphy and Andrew in rapid fire conversazione, Caron and Farnum, the Three Westons and little Rita Far mum round out program of such sur passing excellence that 1t will be diff cult to duplicate. Prices are 10, 20 and cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.
