A gradual improvement will be no- ticed in each succeeding show at the Auditorium, because as the season gets into full. swing the management will have mors . opportunity in the routing of acts, a complicated propo- sition at the best, and especially so at the start of a season, - when the ma- jority of houses are still closed for the summer. P L The three acts booked for the first three days of next week are all of the first class, and heading the list is the team of Elliot & Neff, who offer a novelty skit, carrying special scenery and effects for the adequate presenta- tion of their production. The Valleria Sisters, a charming pair of young ladies, will offer a neat sing- ing and dancing specialty which gives them the opportunity to display some startling costumes. A marked improvement is noticed this season in the moving picture por- tion of the programme,which the man- agement intends making the hest in this line in the state. The most up- to-date service of pictures ever in this city have been installsd and the ma- chines are the best that money can buy, and the rock-steady pictures shown on the Auditorium screen are witnesses that the machines are per- fect. BREED THEATER. A western picture of the true type that represents conditions of the west s they really were, and are, is tie eature picture today at the Breed, shown under the title of It Hanpened in the West. A sporty son of wealthv rents is seen in hiding in an Arizona ndian camp. and later is seen to mar- ry a pretty squaw. Some time later the family, with little son. is seen (o raceive a letter which calls the father and son to the old home, the squaw remaining in care of the humble home. Years later the half-breed son is shown celebrating his 21st birthday, also his engagement to one of the waalthy white girls of the city. The father reluctantly tells his son of his origin. and this in turn causes the boy’s engagement to be broken and ke then in desperation turns his face toward the old tepees and wanders to tha camp, miles away, arriving only to find his mother dead and buried by tender home friends. In the Arctic Night. a wonderful Vitagraph story of a young mission- ary whose sirong sense of duty to the ecall of his soul prevents his marryving the voung girl who is engaged to marry him: He is shown in the great vicissitudes of the arctic regions, car- rving on his work under the mission rules, yvet showing the great soxrowful sacrifice which he is making. BRADLEY THEATER, PUTNAM. Three Twins. One cannot get away from the charm and gracaful tilt of Hoschna's music. It permeats The Three Twins like the fragrance of a bouquet of lovely flow- ers. Its rich melody made “Madame Sherry” the success that it is. It is a rift of absolute sunshine. Unlike many composers of modern trifles. he never repeats himself. One musical comedy is as different from another as day is from night. The extraordinary prosperity of the Three Twins, which last year hrok all musical comedy record,s and likealy to equal that record this season If genuine merit goes for anything, is due more to the delightfully tuneful score, which every moment is of su- perfor quality. Musically, then, The Three Twin: which is at the Bradley theater, Pu 28, is a rare treat, even if gossamer-like in its pretty miriness and delicate fancy. Nothing to equal it in a likable, wholesome wav s current in American musical com- edy this season. But, strangel enough, in musical eomedy, music—vocal music—is held of the slightest account. It the riot of color, the flashing of skirts. the novelty of lights, the whirl. of the @ance, the neatness of the fomedian that most attrac All thesa are given rather sumptu- eus!y In The Three Twins. THE CONNECTICUT FAIR. Football, hasketball, tuz of war and wrestling on horseback are among the novelties which will be‘given this year at the Connecticut fair.

For the evening perform- ances the track will be lighted by a rew system of arc lamps. making i visible from every part of the stands. As, moreover. the ‘games will be fol- lowed by a hand concert, by fireworks, by vandeville and by an ascension of Kine Kellv in a fire balloon. and as ail attractions df the Midwayv and of the amusement park will be in the height of their glory, the park will be a much bizger feature in the evening than ever befor BULLETIN'S PATTERN SERVICE. 8979 A DAINTY NEGLIGEE.

Mrs. Fritzer's husband, Morris, is 3 presser.

PASSING OF A BELOVED TEACHER For Over Half a Century Margaret Croft Wrought Indelible Influences on the Lives of Waterbury Boys and Girls. Miss Margaret Croft. 76, for half a century one of the most potent infiu- ences for good 'in Waterbury, died Sunday night at 9.20 o’clock at her late home, Farnham avenue. Heart dis- ease, superinduced by general decline in health, caused her death, which came quietly and painlessly after sev- eral hours of unconsciousness. The half masted flags on the Crosby High school and the Margaret Croft school well rapresented the general sentiment. as almost every living resi- dent of Waterbury who has attended the Crosby High school is mourning Miss Croft today. To few women has it been given to influence so many lives: to maka so durable an impression on the hearts and characters of hundreds of men and women as Miss Croft has. And particularly is it true that every boy who ever studied Latin under Miss Croft remembers her with love and gratitude and tender respect. For more than 50 years Miss Croft taught in the public schools, serving the city quietly, faithfully, but better than she knew; cultivating in the minds of her pupils a de2p regard and intelligent appreciation for the clas- sics, infusing honesty and industry and helpfulness into the characters hundreds of Waterbury’s citizens to be. Her gentle but uncompromising disci- pline, her thorough understanding of human natute, her absolute sense of justice and her ever available fund of Lumor and kindly sarcasm made her particularly adapted to dsal with boys. To the giris under her care Miss Crof was not only a thorough instructor, but a motherly adviser, but to the boys she was instructor and companion and mother and father, ull in one. Besides her interest in her work and in those who were committed to her charge. Miss Croft had a keen and surprisingly accurate knowlsdge and appreciation of current events. She knew much more about the trend of political affairs. for instance, than do | most men. Her broad outleok and far- sightedness would have endowed her with tha qualities of a statesman. had she been a man. And yvet sornehow one never lcst sight of her wholesome womanliness. At the time of her retirement, in January, 1910, Miss Croft was 75 vears old. Sha had taught in the Waterburv i schools for more than half a century. Born in Waterbury Jan. 25, 183i, the daughter of James and Poily W. {Car- ter) Croft. she received her early edu- cation here and later, in 1850, enter2d Mt. Holyoke seminary. after teachine a vear in the Bucks Hill school.
