Such an act is the headline feature of the play-card at the Jacques this week. and it is presented by the Three Rem ards. It is hard to pick the most pop ular of the supporting numbers on the menu. but Emmett Devoy and his company in the laughing success. The Saintly Mir Billings" certainly gives the rest of the field great run for the honors. Fanny Rice in her distinctive novelty impersonations Snyder and Buckley in 'theil comedy musical potpourri: the Garrity Sis ters, singers and dancers: Tanner and Gilbert in How to Make Love-: Mitchell and Cain in a machine gun talking skit. and the electrograph, with a set of fascinating children's pictures. complete the bill.

ROUGH HOUSE AT FAIR.
Wolcott Authorities May Bring Wa.
 terburians Into Court,

It was rumored to-day that those who were responsible for the rough house proceedings at the Wolcott fair yesterday will find themselves in court in the course of few days. The Wolcott fair is well known as an occasion for an annual display of horse-play of the toughest character and it is said that what took place there yesterday far exceeded in tur- bulent jollity anything of the kind that was ever witnessed within the limits of the famous old town. The names of most of those who went from Waterbury is said to be in the hands of the grand juror and that the charges against them consist, or will consist, of intoxication, breach of the peace. injury to private property, trespass. theft and assault. Rumor has it that several instruments be- longing to the musicians were in- jured beyond any possibility of re- pair. and that many of the exhibits were used as missiles and several of ficers of the fair and of the town were handled without gloves.

"MAMSELLE SALLIE."

A strong combination of comedy talent has been effected by Manager John c. Fisher in securing Katie Barry and John Slavin as features in his production of the new musical comedy by Robert B. Smith and Ray mond Hubbell entitled "Mamselle Sallie," which will be presented at Polls Monday and Tuesday evenings of next week. It will be remembered that Katie Barry's American popular ity was made in single night after her first appearance, on her arrival from England, in "A Chinese Honey moon." It is said that MT Slavin's part in "Mamselle Sallie" was written especially to fit his personality, and Manager Fisher confidentially pre- diets that his success will be even greater than 1t was in leading com edy roles with Madam Schuman- Heink. Prices are 25, 50, 75, s1.00 and s1.5O. Tel. 10S4. Sale of seats Saturday.

POLLS
"BREWSTER'S MILLIONS"


 The production of "Brewster's Millions" at Polls tonight. In se- lecting dramatization of McCutch- cons fascinating story, "Brewster's Millions," with which to enter the dramatic world, they assert that they have found a vehicle worthy their en- deavors and one which will sustain their reputation. Those who have read the book can appreciate what a great play it would make. So odd, so entirely different in theme and treatment from any other work of fiction, and yet so possible, so plausi- ble, so cumulative and so intensely interesting. "Brewsters Millions" marks distinct triumph in late dra- matic achievements. The supporting company includes such sterling actors as George Probert, Joseph Wood ward, Willard Howe. Nestor Lennon, Gaston Bell, Jack Deveraux, Charles Ayeling, George Riddell. Albert Sack ett, George Clare, Misses Mary Ryan, Emily Lytton, Olive Murray, Cecile Maher and Josephine Park. Prices are 25. 50, 7o, $1 and $1.50. Tele- phone 1884.
