Japanse Invasion at the Putnam Fair. Much praise has#been given to the Japanesz and to her famocus soldiers. Great interest centers, around their country, costoms and pastimes. At the Putnam fair, Sept. 1 and 2, full opportunity will be given to study the Japanese at close quanters,as the great- est troupe of entertainers ever brought to this country has been secured and the wonderful acrobatic and equilibris- tic feats presented are simply marvel- O;m Kadura "mperial Japanese troupe numbers ten and their interpreter. They have .been in America less than two years, during which time they have appeared in almost every large city, besides being engaged at the New York hippodrome last season for nearly twelve weeks. Their costumes show the splendor of the Orient and their work s of high character. Noth- ing like their work has ever been wit- nessed in this country, and they are sure to Be a big sensation. This ex- tra expensive act is only one of the big free attractions to all who attend the Putnam fair. Their exhibitions will be given on an elevated stage in the open air opposite the grand stand. Many of the tricks and feats they will perform are entirely new in this coun- try. In pyramid work they neyer have been excelled. The remarkable feats that they perform-in this class of work have heretofore only been seen among the greatest and most skilled of Ara- bian acrobatic troupes. Double slack- wire acts, double perch acts, “risley work.” their slide for life while stand- ing erect on a rope and many other remrkable feats makes the greatest perferming troupe ever brought to this eountry. If you miss this feature you will miss one of the greatest attrac- tlons ever ‘brought ‘to' a fair in eastern Connécticut. See wdv. today for other ®ig attractions. THE AUDITORIUM. The bills announcing the reopening of the Auditoriwm have caused muer favorable comment and no doubt the opening - performance Monday after- noon, August 30, will serve 'to draw a large number-of the old patrons as well as, mary mew ones. It 1s the in- tention of the 'mdénagement in the course of a-few weeks to change the entjre. vaudeville section of the pro- gramme twice weekly, Monday -and Thursday. - This will of course neces- sitae considerable added expense, but the management feels confident . that the increase in attendance will recom; pense them. In this way patrons vis- iting the theater Monday and Thurs- day of the same week will see two en- tirely different shows. It was the intention of the manage- ment to open the season in this way, dbut it was impossible to complete the TNecessary arrangements in time. The vaudeville programme headed by the Wally Trio, a newly imported ean acrobatic act, contains a great variety of numbers in which will be found something to please eve body. This trio of European gym- nasts introduce some remrakably clev- er head and hand balancing intermin- gled with snappy cround tunbling. Merrill and Nortman present a neat singing and dancing specialty in which the sweet singing of the lady and the eccentric dancing of the gentleman are particularly conspicuous. A howling comedy number introduc- ed by the “musical mokes,” Robinson and Gaten, will no doubt be one-of the hitz of the show. This pair of versatile “purnt’ ctorkers” are musicians of ex- ceéptional merit and are comedians of the front row. Nen Evans, a sprightly character comedienne, will introduce the latest comedy song -hits, sung in her own in- imitable manner. S Last but not least on the bill we will have “the Jady with the big voice” Jennie Edwards, whose pictured bal- lads promise to become a pleasing and permanent feature of the entertain- ment. BROADWAY THEATER. “Dolly Varden.” Mr, H"D. Aleen offers the comic opera success, “Dolly Varden,” with the bewitching prima donna soubrette, Miss Adaline Fildes, which will be the attraction at the Broadway theater on Friday, Aug. 27th. “Dolly Varden” will be remembered as being the biggest comic opera success known on Broad- waly for. years. It served as the ve- hicle which brought Miss Lulu Glaser to her present position. Miss Adaline Fildes headed by the peerless beauty cherus, all of which are beautiful and attractive young women. “Dolly Var- den” is the joint work of those mas- ters of comic opera, Messrs. Stanis- lus Stange and Julian Edwards. Its reputation is a guarantee of merit and originality. The scenery is rich and warm. in color and style, the costum- ing is in perfect harmony and the soft blending of electrical effects give the whole an unusual charm. There is beauty and tone to “Dolly Varden.” No expense has been spared in equipping and staging the piece. The company is headed by the prima donna sou- brette, Miss Adaline Fildes, who comes ped with the approval of the s and public. She has an exquisite voice and an abundance of magnetism, with a beautiful figure, which adds charm. to her chanming personality. Other members are Alden Mac€laskie, last season with Miss Hattie Williams in “Fluffy Ruffles”” R. 1. Koch, who was formerly connected with Henry W, Savage’s “Prince of Pilsen;” Miss Flelen Murray, who will be remember- ed as . the leading sopranv with Chas, Dill hain's musical comedy success, “The Red Mill,” and Alf Helton, who has ‘been connected in former vears wi‘h «Lohan and Hanrris~-and William Rothacker, who has appeared at the Metropohtan Opera house with the Met: an company. ==On Building a Small Business with little Money not at all.

A Pictu Feature Another crowded house at the Breed’ was the state of affairs, when the very excellent bill was shown, and although the weather was intensely, warm, the many provisions for the coeling of the theater prevented it from being un- comfortable. Added to'the fact that the Breed is one of the highest the- aters, between joints, in the city, is the fact that the great windows run- ning from floor to ceiling, admit a free circulation of fresh air from the river, and the great ventilators on the roof, rre carrying off immense quantities of heated alr, besides numerous electric fans that are rynning continually, making this theater a most comfort- able spot. The great picture “Soldiers of the D. 8. A” shows how our boys in blue are trained from the raw re- cruit, to the tried veteran. The scene of the drilling of the raw recruits in the awkward squad is one of the most ludicrous scenes ever witnessed, and the spectators fairly howl. This is very perfect in the photographic sense and the many scenes are greeted with continued applause. There are many other excellent pic- tures shown all worthy of mention, and the large attendance attests the fact of the high standard of the en- tertainment. By popular request, Master Harry Noonan sang “As Long as the World Rolls On,” a song of great artistic de- mands, byt rendered it so well, that he was compelled to repeat the refrain three and four times. His ability in this line seems unlimited. - competent’ woman to WANTED. ‘WANTED—Boy - to work in drug store.
