v , . CARRIE NATION. . ;
"Have you 6een Carrie Nation yet?
ijbnot, get into the band wagon and
see., this most noted American woman
who Is telling large audiences at the
Jacques how and why she smashed
saloon . after saloon in Kansas. Mrs
Nation? has been holding forth all the
week "with her saloon-wrecking ha
rangues, to the delight aud amusement-
of . large audiences who have
found; much to enjoy in her cranky
talk ' and disjointed denunciations.
Some1 .of her auditors have at times
tried to bTeak her down with inter
ruptions and questions, but in every
case she has been a match for her tor
mentors and turned the laugh oh
them.,. It . is , a treat to hear the "wo
man talk, no matter what one may
think of herself and her methods, and
there ought to be no one left who will
not -have seen her before the close of
her engagement to-morrow evening. It
is not at all likely that she will ever
again visit Waterbury, as she in
tends returning to Kansas and tak
ing up again her strenuous life
against the saloons. Mrs Nation will
be succeeded at the Jacques next week
by another famous woman in the per
on . of -Mile. Adgle. the daring lion
tamer, whose wonderful exploits w.i
three' feroclons Hons are still remem
bered from last season. In brlnsring
(her back for a second engagement
Manager Poll is yielding to manv re
quests from those who were fascinat
es with her during last season. Prices
are 10, 20 and 30 cents ; afternoons, 10
and 20 cents, ladies 10.
MOVING PICTURES.
J. P. Dibbie, who will be i-emembcr-ed
for tbe fine exhibitions of moving
pictures he has given us in the past
seasons, will make his first appearance
of th present sason Sunday evening
at Poli's. In addition to tbe latest and
best American films Mr Dibble will
show the newest European colored
Pictures, and the noted tenor, Arthur
Fox will be heard in illustrated
songs. The whole will make a most
pjeaslng Sunday evening entertain
ment. " Admission will be 25 cents to
all parts of the house.
. MARY MANNERING.
Another of the season's distinguish
ed occasion's will be presented at Poli's
on Tuesday evening, when beautiful
Mary Mannering will appear in Leo
Ditrichstein's new comedy, "Har-
Css-es a Cdi SaOns Say, Crila 2 Says .
wr- -.gg
-JaGques
riet's Honeymoon." In this nlav. it .s
claimed, she has greater opportuni
ties tnan existed In either "Janice "-er-edith"
or "The Stubbornness of Ger
aldine,"Joth in the lighter passages of
the play and in the scenes of greater
intensity. Mary Mannering is one of
the most delightful comediennes on tne
American stage. That fact has long
been accepted, and now in the emo
tional scenes Mr Ditrichstein has of
fered her in "Harriet's Honeymoon '
she develops surprising power as an
emotional actress. "Harriet s Honey
moon" is principally; laughter,' with
enough of the serious to give it body
and flavor. The complications are
brought about by a case of mistaken
Identity in which the monumental' stu
pidity of a German police official
plays a very large part. There are
three acts in the comedy, the locale
being a tiny health resort somewhere
within the confines of the German em
pire. The company which Manager
Frank McKee has got together for
Miss Mannering's support includes Ar
thur Byron, Thomas A. Wise, Henry
Kolker, Louis Massen, Edward See,
Adolph Jackson, Louise Hollister,
Kate Lester, Lillie Hall, Emma Jan
vier and many other well known
players.
ROGERS BROTHERS.
Packed to the doors and with every
box in Poli's theater filled was the
greeting given to the Rogers Brothers
in their latest success of "The Rogers
Brothers in London" last night. And
the greeting was deserved for the two
hours or more of fun dished up by
those clever comedians and thedr
large and excellent company. It was
a treat never better enjoyed nor ap
preciated more earnestly. The songs
were new and so catchy that the two
upper galleries took them up and car
ried them through with the orchestra.
Beautifully staged, and with a large
and clever chorus of beautiful women,
elegantly and appropriately costumed,
the comedy was delightfully present-,
ed. Naturally 'the Rogers brothers
were the center of attraction and
their witty sayings, humorous songs
and Jokes and funny make-ups were
int na hnnnilv received and as thor
oughly enjoyed. And yet tbey were
not the only stars in the entertain
ment and it is just as well that such
was the case. Audiences sometimes
tire of a one man or one woman show,
even though their work is beyond ad
verse criticism. t
There was with the company last
night another comedian who shared
with the two principals the honors of
the evening. That star was Joseph
Coyne in the character of Harold Har
v'ey. It was not a character over
which a person would enthuse unless
it was played well, but in the capable
hands f Mr Coyne it shone with bril
liancy. Clever indeed was his work
and deservedly he received and shared
with tbe leaders the most of the ap
plause of the evening. Everything
worked smoothly throughout the
whole pei'formance and the comedy
deserves all the enconlums that can
lae given It.

AUSTRALIAN CUP HUNTER.
Edward Wallace' Flan Lift In
ternatlonal Yacht tne Tropay.
Edward Wallace, millionaire mine
owner of Bromenhill, Australia, recent
ly discussed with the New York
World's correspondent at Vancouver,
B. C., his plans for building a chal
lenger to lift the America's cup.
'fit has been the dream of: my life,"
he said, "to gain the great yachting cup
for Canada, which, is my native land.
A few days ago, when I was In Hali
fax, I obtained some designs. I do not
think the boat could be built which
would have any chance of success for
less than $500,000. My plan is to build
a boat at least 120 fet'Iong,' 90 feet
water line, 25 feet beam and 16 feet
draft. I think a racing 'craft can be
built at the same time as a pleasure
boat.
J'The yacht will not only be a fast
boat, but she will be specially fitted for
long ocean cruises. In the bow I would
carry an immense oil tank as a safe
guard against rough weather. The cen
ter would be taken up principally with
a main saloon sixteen feet long' and the
full width of the yacht
"There is no reason why a boat like
this built on the western side of the
Atlantic, probably at Halifax, should
not be able to do what Sir Thomas Lip
ton has failed In accomplishing. I have
not considered the question under what
club auspices I will sail the boat. Aus
tralian sportsmen are willing to back
the project to the limit".
