JACQUES:
VAUDEVILLE.

Little Hip, the wonderful little IT months old elephant, is attracting large audiences to the Jacquss this week where very entertaining bill is offered. Hip is almost human and eats out of anyone's hand like a dog. He does marvellous stunts and eats and drinks at table just like human being. Hip stands at the entrance of the theater before each performance and hands programmes to the ladies and children. H. R. Durant has rewritten the first part of his sketch and the change is a big improvement. "The Wager" was written by MT Durant and is a very entertaining playlet which tells story about the foolish wager of young clubman. He boasts that he can enter the house of an exclusive society girl and steal her watch. He accomplishes this but in the meantime falls in love with the girl without knowing it. It is clev- erly played by Mir Durant, Miss Jo. sephine Arthur and Arthur Hayes The supporting bill is excellent and includes Leona Thurber and her Blackberries, Lucy and Lucier Harry Breen and many others. Pc, lis popular prices. Watch for next weeks bill.

MISS MAY STANLEY RECITAL

That Julius Schendel, pianist, who is to assist Miss May Stanley, the local violinst in her concert in Leaven- worth hall on the evening of Thurs day, April 30, has proven that mus ical education of the first rank may be procured in this country is shown by the excellent press notices which he received in the dailies after his concert recently in Mendelssohn hall. H. E. Krehbiel of the New York Trl- bune in speaking of MT Schendefs work said Tt is exceedingly daring in a young pianist to venture so difh- cult recital in a season when the de- sires of the music loving public are being sated by the finest of the worlds present day artists. Mir Schendel be- longs among these. He is q young man of pleasing gifts and excellent talent and his good work has placed him in the front rank" Mir Schendel has pursued his studies entirely in the city of New York. Mrs Adelbert r. Hine who will accompany Miss Stan- ley is not as previously stated, q grad uate of the New England COnserva- tory of Music but is pupil of E. NJ. Bowman, the well known New York teacher.

Russian with an inclination to be a high liver, no matter who settled his bills, gave splendid portrayal of the part last evening. Achelis has been the recipient of many flat tering comments since his debut in the play at the Waldorf Monday evening and the praise evidently has been justly deserved. Achelis made the part most convincing, played it with finesse that was well nigh remarkable. read his lines in manner that would do credit to a seasoned actor and was so much to home before the footlights that one would think he was born thespian. In the first and last acts Achelis is not upon the stage but he is off very little during the other Three scenes. Maxwell Os- wald Parry as the police prefect was also very good. His was a difficult role to make the most of, but Parry, all things considered, did well. Thomas Lawrason Riggs and Har- yey Tracy Warren as the country squires, provided not a little com edy. The production on the whole was a triumph for the students and the play deserved much larger house. The greater part of the audience was seated in the orches- tra. The musical programme rendered by the orchestra follows: "Whoop It Up," Down the Field,'' Our Director Eternelle Ivresse," Princeton Cannon March," ''Popu- larity," Yale Boola.''

THOMAS JEFFERSON.

Thomas Jefferson will come to Polls on Saturday, April %, matinee and night. Thomas Jefferson has al ready established himself favorite with theater-goers of this city. He scored hit in the part when here before, and proved himself worthy successor to his famous sire. For generations parents have toid their children the story of Rip Van Win kle," of his great love for little folks with whom he would romp and play, and his affection for his young daugh- ter, Meenie, how every dog in the village would wag its tail for joy at the sight of Rip, but with it all his weakness for the flowing bowl, of how he was driven from his home by his wife Gretchen and went into the Catskill mountains, where he drank with the ghosts of IIendrick Hudson and his pirate crew the fatal draught which put him to sleep for twenty years, awaking to find his wife married to the man who had aided him in becoming drunkard. and his little daughter, Meenie, grown to womanhood and still in love with Hendrick Vetter, the hero | and playmate of her child days. It | is charming story, one, which will never grow old, and so long as it is played by Jefferson, and kept up to | it's present high standing, just so long will it appeal to the better class of theater-goers and remain one of the standard attractions of the Amer ican stage. Prices, matinee 25 to 75 cents, special tickets for children for
 matinee 20 cents to all parts of the ater; evening 25 cents to S1.5O. Seat | sale tomorrow.

Do you spend g days of the year washing clothes' Fifty-two days bending over tub of nauseous, steaming suds and g days of hard-rubbing on washboardf Then stop it. Nature didn't intend any woman to work like a slave. Fels-Naptha will cut down the time spent in washing at least half. It will cut out the boiling, the steaming suds, the hard-rubbing.
 Fels-Naptha will separate the dirt from your clothes while soaking in cold or lukewarm water so that a light rubbing and simple rinsing will leave them clean and pure-ready for the line.

YALE STUDENTS IN "REvIzoR.'

YALE STUDENTS IN "REVIZOR.''
 The Yale University Dramatic as- sociation presented "Revizor,' the Russian comedy, at Polls last even ing before fair-sized and fashion able audience which much enjoyed the farce as played by the stu dents. Although there was TO Wa terbury boy in the cast of charact- CTS, 1t was a young man from this city, George Ira Tompkins, who led
 the orchestra and who was enthusi- astically applauded during the even ing. The youthful violinist has of
 ten been heard as soloist in this city but last evening was the first time Waterbury audience had chance to see him with the baton. He was good and the musical pro- gramme as rendered under his lead- ership was in every way the equal of the play as presented by the col legians. Tompkins will be grad uated from the Yale Music school this year. The farce itself, written by Nikolas V. Gogol. is in five acts, the second and fourth being much superior to the other three. The officials of Russian town are thrown into consternation by the news that a revizor or inspector is on his way to investigate the work of the office holders in the village. The officials are greatly worried lest the inspector is already in their midst incog. In fact they come to the conclusion that a young man. a killer" in dress and bearing. all the earmarks of nobility including the fact that he Is penniless, stopping at the inn. Is the new inspector. Ac- cordingly they visit him. He is elated at seeing them as he Is just about 10 be bounced from the inn because of unpaid bills. They wine him. dine him. simply shower him with money. give him the best they have-and then some. The police prefect takes him 10 his home as welcome guest and there the mis- taken inspector makes violent low. to the wife and daughter of his host. He at length decides 10 wed the daughter but before the mar riage he has to visit a rich uncle ia an adjoining town. Kissing his wife to be goodbye, and hugging dearly mamma-in-law and making a loan of 'steen" dollars from his father in-law, the young neier do well leaves town with his valet. driving behind three of the fastest horses obtainable. He has gone for some time before it is discovered that he was not the real inspector. The dis covery is made by the postmaster who opened a letter written by the ne'er do we'll to one of his friends in which he related the bully good time he had in the town because he was mistaken for the inspector. Tn the midst of their grief. sorroufuI because of the manner In which they had been duped. shey receive the oficial announcement that the real inspector has arrived and is wsifing to meet the officials al the hotel.
