N. Y. THEATRICAL MAN BUYS JACQUES
tcontinued from Page 1.)

For several years Jacques pre- scented plays such as Streets of New York" Shadows of Great City" The Lights of London" " and "The Great Metropolis. Tn 1902 Jacques became vaudeville house and ran successfully for several seasons. Then a summer stock company was formed with Earle Simmons as the leading man and the stock finally crowded out vaudeville. There was a popular craze for stock and Simmons, Err nestine Merely, David M. Hartford, James Devine, Peggy Wood and others of the principal actors had many admirers.
 PoIi Took Lease
 After the death of MT Jacques, S. z. Poli took over the lease of the Jacques theater, but after time sold his interest to P. F. Shea. MT Shea undertook to play high class attractions but the people did not patronize them. He finally gave up his lease and Michael E. Keeley, administrator of the estate of MT Jacques and T. Frank Mayes of the T. H. Hayes Co took over the building and engaged James Clancy to come to Waterbury to operate it. MT Clancy put in high class burlesque and operated ii successfully until his death. Later the burlesque craze died and the theater from time to time has played stock, vaudeville and en- agreements presented by local anna teur talent.

 Allard, who testified for the prosecution last week in superior court, told Assistant States Attor- ney William B. Fitzgerald yester- day that he had been set on and beaten by an assailant at his home Saturday night. The beating was linked in official quarters with AL lard's testimony.
 Lieut. Detective William Pollard and Detective Joseph Bender are continuing their hunt for the as- sailant.
