JACQUES
VAUDEVILLE.

Announcement that Al Leech and his Three Rosebuds will be at the head of the bill at the Jacques next week is sufficient to excite much ex- pectation on the part of vaudeville patrons. MT Leech and the trio of peaches are not strangers to yaude- vile patrons, for they are recalled as among the most successful artists who have appeared here. Their re- turn is well arranged, for they come at the head of a strong bill embrac- ing acts we'll known to the leading New York playhouses as we'll as the Poli theaters. The Bessie Valdere troupe of cyclists is composed entire- ly of pretty girls. Their feats are numerous and daring, and each is performed with astonishing celerity and grace. The act is one of the most showy vaudeville offerings available, and it will impart diversity and completeness to q well rounded bill Miss Gertrude Shipman, the leading woman of the Poli stock con- pany of New Haven for several sea- sons, and for one week last year the leading woman at the Jacques, will visit this city next week with her new sketch. Wanted, Cook, the premiere of which took place in Bridgeport this week. The sketch gives wide scope for the exercise of her we'll known talent. She is as- sisted by Lawrence B. McGill and Al fred Sidwell The other attractions at the Jacques will be T. Roy Barnes and Bessie Crawford, "The Fakir and the Prima Donna; kenney, Me Gahan and Hollis, the best singing trio in vaudeville; Potter and Har- ris, graceful gymnasts in brilliant ly staged performance; Phil Bennett, the Italian street, singer, and the great electrograph.

ficial experience with capable com panies on the road and is well equipped to take any role assigned to her. She has a large circle of friends and acquaintances in this city who will be attracted to the new the ater on her account, and once having formed the habit, the management is confident that women patrons will be certain to appreciate the offer ings presented to them at this the ater. The production of Rallies is by far the most noteworthy attempt on the part of the local stock con- pany and will also be the first time that this remarkable piece has been offered to local patrons at popular prices. It is a thoroughly big metro politan production in every sense of the word and the royalties upon a piece of this nature should justify crowded houses at every perform ance. The management aims to give Waterburians only the highest class productions and in offering Rallies to the public it believes that it is maintaining the prestige which has been its constant aim since the new playhouse was opened. Sale of seats for Monday night and all next week is now on at the box office.

JOE WEBER'S TRAVEsTY

Fun and frolic were the kings at Polls last evening for Joe Weber with his galaxy of splendid stars and splendid company, backed up by excellent stage settings, gave great travesty of 'The Merry Widow and The Devil" two recent productions in this city. Just imagine the stars that were associated with Weber him. self once and one cannot be much surprised that the musical mixture was success. There were Charles J. Ross, Lillian Fitzgerald, Walter Jones, Albert Hart. Grace Griswold, Blanche Deyo and last but the sweet est and best of all, Blanche Ring. Then there were innumerable pretty girls, all good singers and dancers, and the whole completing a feast of music and humor. Every musical number from the opening chorus was enthusiastically received and there were many that are destined to be fa- vorites to those musically inclined
 Perhaps the one that created the greatest furore was t.Yip, I Adee, l Aye" as sung by Miss Ring and the gallery gods had grand old time joining the chorus, Miss Ring was it in almost every scene and her sing ing and acting of Bonnie. My High land Lassie." made another distinct hit. It was at this point, too. that Charles J Ross in his limitations of the Scotch comedian, Harry Lauder. and his singing of She's My Daisy, {" provoked the audience to laughter. Walter Jones who has appeared in many roles, in his character last night of the original devil "Dejolli- dog" was given wide scope to let loose some of that fun that is always bottled up in that rotund form. It was a travesty. no doubt. but it was filled to the brim with more fun and pleasure than has been seen in one musical comedy in a long tine.

shown US that the contrast is test of his genius. The idea of Mir Dixey appearing as vagabond husband after n ten years absence from home and then being employed by the oncc doting wife as her hired girl" is q laugh in itself. None but a clever woman author would have devised so novel situation. In her new play Miss Ellis portrays life in small western town, employing score oi quaint characters in addition 10 little Mary Jane, her sister Lucille ana Ma" and Pa" Pa" has come back to stay, but Portia Perkins, that's Ma" had hoped he never would return. He was unremem- bered even by his daughters, but he wins Mary Jane with his rice pud- dings, helps Lucille find sweet heart. and finally reklndles the love flame in Portals heart and wins his way with everyone, including the au- dience. It Is triumph of MT Dixey's art to make old HI" Perkins so lovable character. After appearing two weeks lon the road" MT Savage offers" Mir Dixey as a star to New York this week in the new play, and the actors friends predict that he will continue at the Garden theater the remainder of the season. Anne Sutherland Is playing Ma" and her portrayal Is as fine a bit of natural acting as this talented woman has ever done.

POLLY OF THE CIRCUS"


 Frederic Thompson's production of Polly of the Circus" which will be seen at Polls on Wednesday and Thursday, December and 10, at one bound has won it's way into the hearts of theatergoers. Polly" a play close to the soil, scored an un- equalled success at the Liberty the ater, New York, last season. De- lightfully acted, and most magnifi- gently produced, the simple story of the play Is unfolded and told by unique characters that ring true. One of the most charming situations of the play is when little Polly is car ried injured into the parsons home and put to bed. Then comes one of the most delicate and dainty of scenes in which the preacher comes to find out how ignorant of all that is supposed to be good Polly is, and how unsophisticated she is in the ways of the world The dialogue is simply beautiful in it's directness, in it's quaint slang, which sounds so curious and with sort of finely pa thetic humor coming from so inno- cent and dear girl. The hamor lies in its fine contrast between the diff ferent sorts of knowledge possessed by Polly and the preacher. Prices, evenings 25 cents to $1.50, matinee 25 cents to $1.
