"OH! SUSANNAH!"

Charles Frohman produced the
successful English farce comedy ooh!
Susannah!" at the Hyperion theater
last evening. The audience was very
large and most enthusiastic. The piece
is remarkably amusing and entertain
ing, and laughter was almost continu
Gus throughout.
ooh! Susannah" has been enjoying
long and prosperous career in Lon
don, and Louie Frear, who plays the
part of the ''slavey," acted last night
by Josephine Hall, has made quite a
little fame for herself in it. Miss Frear
first attracted attention in the English
version of '"The Girl from Paris and
was the original exponent of SISTER
Mary James Top-Note." In the part
of Aurora in ooh! Susannah!" she is
said to present an extraordinary type
of coster-lift with striking TRUTHFUL
ness. Her acting is said to be a strange
mixture of humor and pathos, some
thing after the manner of Chevalier,
and she is said to have given the play
it's career. When it was decided to
produce the piece here Josephine Hall
was naturally first thought of for the
role because of her similar success in
the slavey part in "The Girl from Par
is The choice was a wise one, for
while Miss Hall may not be the real
genius" that the London lady is said
to be, she is certainly an excellent com
hoe slit In ax
edy work. She was delightful last eve
ming and her personal success with the
house was sure from the start.
The piece is a farce comedy in three
llacts built on the usual lines. 1t is bet
ter than most of it's kind in that it is
free from nastiness and is frankly en-
| PERTAINING, The cast was competent in
every respect. Fritz Williams played
| the principal male role as gracefully
as is his wont. Robert Cotton was the
same conventional English solicitor.
Doane and Alfred Hickman filled I'M
| important roles satisfactorily.
/ The ladies of the cast We're especially
admirable. OF Miss Hall WE have al
ready spoken and it would be useless
to multiply praises. Maude Harrison
was very attractive as the distressed
young wife. Marion Lester was CAPT.
! tai as the maiden aunt who has the
money. Jessie Busley has no opportu-
nifty to continue the fine work she did
in "The Two Migrants" but did the
small role of the doctors page credita-
bly,. Maggie Fielding was a vision as
the landlady, and May Wood and
Blanche Burton looked pretty, which
was all that was expected of them.
| The piece will be repeated tonight
and twice tomorrow, and will surely
attract crowded houses. Charles
Frohman was present himself last
| evening.

successful engagement.
Fallen Among Thieves" is crowded
with dramatic situations, which We're
brought into great prominence by the
company which has the play In charge
this year. The high dive into the rlv-
err to rescue the prosecuted heroine was
a realistic scene and both the rescued
and rescuer were called before the cur
tain with the water dripping from
them in streams. Jewell Varney as
Cerise, the polished gambling house
keeper, and Lowell Crab as Hester
bearing, the girl who fell among
thieves, were excellent. Harry Pier
son has in Jim Burridge, the confidence
man. a part which is exactly suited to
him and plays it to perfection. Charles
Mccarthy as the Irish girl was very
funny, as was also Barney Reynolds
as Punk, an eccentric German. Others
in the cast were equally pleasing. The
diving act of Mile. Traband as Tessie
brought down thunders of applause
from the entire house. The great high
bridge scene in the third act is mag
nificent piece of stage construction.
The entire scenic equipment is massive
and appropriately adds further interest
to an already strong and interesting
play.
Fallen Among Thieves" will be here
the balance of the week, with matinees
to-day and tomorrow.

VERY C0MMENDABLE WORK
BEING DONE BY THE TRAVELERS'
AID SOCIETY.

Is Branch of the Young women's Chris
tian Association-Mrs. Servis, of the
Rochester, N. V, Society, Made an Inter
esting Address at the United Church
Chapel Yesterday.
There was large and representative
attendance of the ladies Of New Haven
at the address by Mrs. Servis at the
United church chapel yesterday after
noon. The meeting was under the
auspices of the Bethesda Door of Hope
mission of this city.
Mrs. Servis represents the Travellers
Aid society, which originated in Roch-
ester, N. Y, several years ago. 1t is a
branch of the Young Women's Chris
tian association and works in connec-
ton with it. At present there are
fourishing branches in Buffalo, SYRIA
cuse and Cleveland. Mrs. Servis is at
present engaged in visiting all of the
prominent cities of the New England
states. explaining the workings and OBJ
jects of the society, with view OF es-
tablishing a branch in each one of
them.
The work as explained by the speak
err yesterday is certainly commendable
and deserving of all the assistance
necessary to carry out it's project. At
the railway stations in the cities where
the society has branch, some woman
is employed to look after the interests
of all women who are travelling and in
need Of assistance. Money, tickets and
food are provided if necessary and care
is taken that each one gets on the
proper train. If they are sick or look
ing for situations they are cared for
and kept until recovered or employ
ment has been procured. Assistance is
also given strangers in the way of find
ing their way in the city or locating
friends or relatives. In fact, every
want of a worthy person is cared for
by the society.
Mrs ServiS is engaged in the work OF
the society at the Union depot in Roch-
ester and after explaining the work of
the society gave numerous instances
of the good that has been done in that
city. She said that in that city alone
over 5000 women applied for assistance
and had been aided. This is a sample
of the scope of the work that is being
done A home Is a necessary thing for
every woman in the world and espe-
cially in strange city. They must
have home life and this the society en-
deavors to provide through the Y. w.

C. A. The idea of the work is more
that of prevention than rescue work.
One interesting instance Of the work
was given by Mrs. Servis. She said
some time ago a young girl came to
her from Perth Amboy, N. j. She was
crying bitterly and among the sobs
told that she had been engaged to
man, but that her parents refused to
allow them to wed and he left the place
and went to Cincinnati. After arriving
there he wrote to the girl, sent her
money and told her to come to Cincln-
natl and they would be married. The
girl ran away from home and went to
Cincinnati. On her arrival she found
that the man had been married before
and that his wife was still living. OF
course they were not married and the
girl was on her way back home when
she ran out of funds at Rochester and
was obliged to apply to Mrs. Servis for
assistance. She was furnished money
with which to return and proceedings
We're at once instituted against the fell
low and he was brought to justice for
his work. This shows the practical
working Of the society.
Nothing definite was done in the way
of instituting branch in this city, but
active steps will Immediately be taken.
Before closing her address Mrs Servis
paid a fine tribute to the Door of Hope
mission. She said it was one of the
best managed institutions of the kind
that she had ever seen and was doubt
less doing an immense amount of good.
Mrs. George B. Stevens, treasurer of
the mission, then gave few figures
relative to the work done in the past
year. She said that only about $500
was paid out during the year. 1t was
suggested that If the several societies
in the various churches in the city
would contribute a small amount and
pay the rent of the mission building,
which is 1886 per month, much more
good could be accomplished.

DIFFICULTY OF LEARNING TO
SEE.

Experience of One Born Blind But
Made to See at 20 Years of Age.
An interesting case of optical surg
cry is afforded by a recent operation
performed by DIR. Duclot, a well known
oculist. Julie Duplessis, a girl 20 years
old, had been blind from birth because
of a congenital double cataract. She
could distinguish light from darkness,
but that was ALL At the same time
she had an extraordinary sense of
touch, even for blind person, and
could describe minute1y anything she
The operation took place two weeks
ago, and, although she has sight, she
is unable so far to make complete use
of it. And that is the singular part
OF it.
For an hour after the operation she
could see nothing, but after that OBJ
jects became visible to her, and caused
her exquisite pain. She said she felt
as if they were hitting her eyes. She
suffered severely from headache, and
for the two or three ensuing days she
was obliged to keep her eyes closed,
opening them only at intervals. For
a week all objects We're very much
blurred, but gradually they became
distincter, and she could describe
them from sight almost as we'll as she
could from touch
Later an experiment was made
with her in the naming of various OBJ
jects. Depending only upon sight, she
mistook a cat for dog, a pencil for a
key, and feather duster for bunch
of chrysanthemums Then one of the
doctors held a canary upon his foref-
ger, and was she was totally unable to
tell what it was. He put the bird in a
cage, and instantly she said it was a
bird Finally, they blindfolded the
girl and permitted her to touch all
the objects she had misnamed. She
designated them without an error.
Another curious point is that she
seems to have no idea of distance. One
of the doctors held his hand close to
her face and told her to take hold of it.
She reached out for it as if it were
several feet away. Conversely, she
tried to grasp bottle that was placed
upon a table at the other side of the
room, thinking that it was within
reach While blind she had no difficult
ty in walking, her movements being
similar to those of any person with
sight Now she steps out as if walk
ing upstairs. She says the floor looks
very steep to her and she always feels
as if she were going up hill
Colors she does not comprehend.
Some of them, bright red, for instance,
pain her eyes very much. 1t is curious,
too, that color seems to cause her more
surprise than form. In touching
things she was always able to get
some idea of what shape they were;
and she could also distinguish the diff
ference between substances. But color
is entirely beyond her.
It is said that several months must
elapse before the muscles of the girls
eyes will be trained even beyond the
rudimentary stage. Never having had
sight, she must begin just as if she
were baby, observing things and
learning to know them without the
aid of touch.-New York Sun.
