The piece is well dressed and no effort is spared to give it a metropolitan presentation. There are veral new members in tae company, conspicuous among them heing Teddy | Le Bue, who well plays “Tim McGea.” When one of the regular members ap- peared it was a signal for an outburst of applause and Migs Bolton, who has made many friends since coming to New Britain, was presented with a huge bouquet of flowers during the performance, The cast this week is as follows: they have drawn at Adrian S, Perrin Hapgood, & young friend of ...E.

This is the point around which the play is built and in which there is a story redolent with sentiment. There are thiree scenes, one in Iondon, the second at Southampton and the third at Chinatown in San Franclsco. The music is pleasing and the many numbers were rendered with con- summate skill, while the acting was Just what the audience wanted and liked. Mr. Cross’ work was strongly suggestive of his excellent “Kid Burns” in “Forty-five Minutes From Broadway,” and Mr. Wright was the well groomed and polished gambler, vhile Mr, Birch was the clever jockey. Mrs. Hibbard always plays well and she wag as good last evening as ever, politiclan and horse owner, giving a jolly celtic coloring to his lines. Miss Callaway varies her work this week, appearing in male attire, making a very good looking “Earl of Blooms- bury” and interpreting the part very cleverly. The pilece opened most aus- piciously and there is every evidence that it will draw large audiences dur- ing the week and that all will like it immensely UNION CONCERT, MAY 9 The fourth annual concert of the Catholie Choral Union will be held at the Lyceum theater Sunday evening May 9, when a chorus of over 100 voices; assisted by a fourteen piece or- chestra and a quartet of oratorio and concert fame will present Mozart's Twelfth Mass 3 T.ocal people have been favored for the last three years with the high grade productions rendered at the spring concerts by this choral asso- eciation and the echoes of appreciation which still linger from the concert of 1ast year, will nereased to loud ap- plause once more when Mozar't bril- Jiant composition is rendered. Besides the heavy work of the mass program of miscellaneous chairic- ter will be given. The choral work under the direction of Prof. F. . Harmon, organist of §t. Mary’s church whose conecert work during the past three vears is most convincing that choral work should hold an import- ant place in New Britain's community life. Tickets are now being sold by the members of the association and as ciate membership cards, which entitle the patrons to the advance exchange of tickets to the amount of §2 or more may be exchanged Saturday morning at 9 o’clock at Miss Loughery's m1l- linery shop, Y.

This com- bination is presenting one of the best musical specialties that has played at the local house in a long time and the liberal applause last evening made it apparent that the “first nighters” were not unappreciative. Introduced in the act is Miss Ida Butler, known the country over for her brilliant work in “The Village Choir.” Miss Butler has a beautiful soprano voice and wide range. While she strikes some very high notes there is a velvety tone to her voice and she handles it splen- didly. In “The Last Rose of Summer” she is at her best and in: last night's audience there were many willing to admit that they had pald as high as a dallar to hear a less meritorious rendition of this popular ballad. Miss | Butler's supporters are also singers of high class and they give a concert that is a real musical treat. The show this week opens with Miss Willard, a former Barnum and Bailey circus feature. Miss Willard is a chair balancer of great skill. The feats she performs not only require great skill, but/the hazard which at- tends them makes it extremely dan- gerous for her. The character of her specialty "is novel and it maki a strong appeal to the audience. Mi Willard is assisted by a male part- ner, who is also a clever balancer. Burnie and Hermann. billed “The Ginger Boys,” eoffer a piano logue that is very entertaining. They sing several numbers making a pra- nounced hit with “My Little Girl” and “T Want to Go to Tokye.” Burnie is @ song writer of ability himself and during the, week he proposes to in- troduce sofme of his own composi- tions. Clever juggling makes the act of the Four Maxines one of the popular numbers on the bill. This q tet has a number of surprises that score wheavily. Bernard and DeHaven have a classy singing number. a, the great, erious, awe- inspiring Iuropean-Asiatic empire: the colossus of the north, is to most people a land of oppression, suffer- ing, injustice, and all in all opposed to American ideals of freedom. Lib- erty of the individval does not exist there—police officialism penctrates inte every relation of civil life. You are not free to do as you please. The people are ruled, not governed, and {yranny in every canceivable form is rife. Around these dramatic situa- tions are placed whole series of citing incidents; cruelty and priva- tions suffered by political and other prisoners who are condemned to exile in Siberia, making the latest Shubert feature “Hearts in Exile,”” a most in- teresting and timely attraction now being shown for the last times to- night at Fox's, lara Kimbal!
