Hyperion Theater.

The very romantic and exceedingly thrilling drama entitled Cumberland '61'' was presented at the Hyperion last
 night and when the curtain fell at the
 close of the last act the audience was
 loud in it's approval. That the play
 was a success was shown by the en- thusiasm manifested. The piece has
 good story which is exceedingly we'll
 told. The plot begins at West Point
 and then shifts to the Cumberland
 mountains. The scenery of the play is | beautiful, and especially so is that in the second act, showing the mountains and the burning of a bridge. Two beautiful love stories are also worked
 into the play. There is wealth of inci- dent in the piece. In fact every act is
 crowded with it. The piece is capa-
 bly, acted by company that includes many New Haven favorites. Miss Marie
 Shotwell as the daughter of the noun taineer acts the part in a most excel lent manner. She had many trying sit
 nations to which she proved herself equal Miss Amelia Somerville looked
 charming and played her part in a
 most acceptable manner. John c. Kel-
 lerd gave a most excellent interpreta-
 tion of the role of the half-breed h.
 dian. Others deserving of special Losee, Lionel Barrymore, Charles G.
 Craig, Miss Angela McCaully and Miss Sackett. The piece is one of the best
 romantic dramas that have been seen l in this city. It will be repeated to- night, and this afternoon there will be | bargain matinee. Prices only 25c and | soc.
 The latest bulletins of news from the war will be announced from the stage at the matinee and evening perform ances to-day of the war drama Cum berland '61' at the Hyperion.
 l Musical circles are all on the qui | vive to hear the brilliant pianist, Josef | Hofmann, who comes fresh from his | triumphs in Boston and New York to l the Hyperion on Monday afternoon, I when he will give one recital, the only l one he gives in Connecticut. Seats are l now rapidly selling and orders are ] coming in from all the surrounding | towns; in fact, his coming in our midst l has created as much sensation as was | shown when Paderewski made his vis- I it here, Since he was here ten years i ago he has gained in skill in an extra l ordinary degree. He has the Ruben- 1 stein dash, the Rubenstein bravura, l the Rubenstein audacity. He has also l the Rubenstein tricks in the lifting of his hands from the keyboard the slid l ing of his fingers, the drop of his ! wrists. His affection for Rubenstein | has made him a reflex of the great | man.
 Sale of seats now open. Prices S2, ] $150 and S1.
 | JOSEPH HAWORTH. l Joseph Haworth appears at the Hy- l perion next Monday night, presenting 1 for the first time in this city his con- l ception of Shakespeare's most perplex- l ing role of Macbeth. He has a fine ! supporting company of Shakesperian l players, while his leading lady, Miss l Bertha Galland, is a new discovery in | the limited ranks of portrayers of 1 Shakespeare's heroines in this country, l who gives promise of achieving most l notable distinction as one of the very | best Lady Macbeths on our stage to- | day, this notwithstanding the fact that | she is but twenty-two years of age. l The sale of seats is now open and has l been a good one. Prices, regular dol ] lar scale.
 l HENRY MILLER.
 | Henry Miller is perhaps the most popular woman's actor on the Ameri- 1 can stage. He is the hero of the play
 'The Master" in which he has made 1 perhaps the greatest hit of his career,
 having played to crowded houses for l the past three months at the Garden | thater, New York city, from where he
 comes direct to the Hyperion next | Wednesday evening for one night with | the original cast and cenery effects.
 Sale of seats opens Monday. Prices, 1 regular dollar scale.
 THE JUCKLINS."
 All the humor of political campaign | and the immense amount of glory a | political position holds in the eyes of
 some men is humorously illustrated in
 Sheriff Parker's run for a second term
 as portrayed in Stuart Robson's new
 play, "The Jucklins,'' which will be 1 presented at the Hyperion on Thurs
 day evening, April 2S, with Stuart
 Robson in the leading role as Lemuel
