"The greatest girl act In the busi
f r.esa," 'The Best show ever at Poll's."
I "The brightest musicaJ comedy in
i vaudeville." These and other similar
r; remarks are heard regarding "The
leading Lady" and the bill as a
t whole at Poll's. If the comments
concerning the past two weeks were
f enthusiastic, the comments en this
week are doubly so. 1 It will -be a
great vaudeville .week for Bridgeport.
Marguerite Haney. Ralph Lynn and
Ed. Coleman share the chief honors
In "The Leading Lady." Miss Haney
is a favorite with the audience from
the instant of her . appearance.- It
would Jake a temperament like .the
Egyptian Sphinx to tire of this win
some miss. - Lynn -and Coleman are
real English humorists and their
equals In that line have never been
seen here beiore.
-
Kalmar & Brown, the neate st, most
graceful and moat versatile dancing
team of the present vday. never fail
of an enthusiastic reception.1 Mr. Kal
mar himself is the composer of the
novelty song "Bugs," which he rend
ers. The solo and duo dancing of
this pair is .in the highest degree ar
tistic. ,
Barrows. Lancaster & Company
score a great hit-In the comedy play
let. "Tactics,' which has all the fea
tures of a great vaudeville act and
the additional advantage of being In
the han-ls of such talented and ver
satile actors as Messrs. Barrows and
Lancaster.
"Z Bowman Brothers, "the Blue Grass
Hoys, have a genuinely funny black
Utc.e act and a real novelty besides
Corinne-Francis.- in her- clever sink
ing and dancing specialty never fala
to score a hit; Hill. Cherry & Hill
have a remarkable bicycle act with
some rreat funny tricks in it; Ernie
fvnd Mildred Potts -have a really re
markable bag punching act. and the
Electrograph finishes the bill with
excellent .motion pictures.

WAX EXPLODING
BY OWN STEAM
BUENS WORKMAN
In an explosion of molten wax at the
factory of the Monumental Bronse Co
Howard avenue and Cherry street, at
10 o'clock this morning Joseph Car
roll, a skilled molder. barely escaped
losing his eyesight and suffered cruel
bums of the face and forearms. Luck
ily he was not near his comrades when
the molten wax was scattered in the
blow-up, and he was the only one to
sufter.
The wax is used to shape the molten
metal, the outlines of the desired. fig
ures being sunk into the wax and the
metal poured in the mold., Carroll was
preparing the wax. and it Is supposed
he had poured the flowing hot wax
into a receptacle containing a little
moisture." The steam scattered the
fiery stuff broadcast, and a consider
able amount struck him in the face.
Fellow employes bandaged his face,
and he was taken to his home In Fair
field in an automobile secured by th
factory management.

BOSTON SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRASCORES
ANOTHER TRIUMPH
The Boston " Symphony ' Orchestra
again proved itself a great musical or
ganization last night. It Is undoubt
edly, the greatest orchestra in the
world, playing with a unity and finish
that is an almost unbelievable product
of talent and discipline. No other
group of musicians perhaps would have
the drawing power to bring out an . au
dience as numerous as that in Jack
son's theatre last night during such
a storm as raged from early in the
evening to early in the following morn
ing. Madame Corinne Rider-Kelfey
gave a perform an co that was entirely
satisfactory in all save one respect.
She refused absolutely to respond' to
the tumultuous demand for an er core.
possibly- because the work required of
her was sustained and difficult. Her
voice is less brilliant than that of some
other singers, but It is wonderfully
svi'eet and sympathetic and Is used
with remarkable expression and tech
nique. The program opened with the prelude
to Wagner's "The Master Singers of
Nuremberg", a composition which was
greeted with coldness when it was
first produced under the direction of
Its author, and which even now is dif
ficult to the comprehension of the or
dinary musician. Nevertheless the
great merits of the composition were
successfully emphasized.
Max Fiedler proved a worthy suc
cessor of the famous leaders who have
preceded him at the head of the Sym
phony. He has all the intellectual
and physical characteristics that are
necessary to great orchestral leader
ship. It Is perhaps dropping from the
high- plane of musical criticism to re
mark that it is a help to a leader If
he presents a good rear view to the
audience and it Is certainly true that
Fiedler, tall, slender and graceful,
does so.
The greatest appeal to the audience
was made by Tsch'Mkowsky's "Pa
thetic" symphony, which is decidedly
more understandable than 'The Mas
ter Singers." Highly emotional, and
sprinkled through with touching mel
odies the "Pathetic" rendered by the
Boston Symphony was a treat worth
traveling far to meet.
