Rehearsals are going on diligently for
| the Mothers Aid society benefit to
| be given at the Hyperion on the after
| noon and evening of April %. This will
undoubtedly be the society event of the
| season. The Mothers Aid society is
quite one of the most popular charities
In New Haven, to begin with. Then.
too, 1t is several years since society has
given an entertainment of the kind in
J public, SO that interest in the affair is
! general
Preparations have been going on for
months, so that the programmes for
the entertainment are now quite COM
plete 1t has been decided to have a
children's vaudeville in the afternoon,
when the programme will be made up
of all that delights the little folk.
In the evening a more elaborate pro-
gramme has been planned and the af-
fair throughout promises to be the most
interesting amateur entertainment
since "Antigone' was produced some
years ago for the Yale Infirmary.
One of the features of the evening
event will be the presentation Of
Planche's excellent comedy, 1.-The Loan
of Lover the cast for which will be
composed of prominent society girls
and Yale men. In addition to the COM
edy series of tableaux, reproductions
Of Gibson pictures, will be shown
These latter have been placed in the
hands Of prominent women, each TAX
ing charge of one picture.
The pictures will be shown in very
beautiful frame of gold and bronze to
be specially made for the affair by
George Miller, the stage carpenter of
the Hyperion. Well known society
girls and men have also consented to
pose for these each picture having an
entirely new cast. This arrangement is
made so that there will be no long waits
between the tableaux
A programme of music, which will
include some songs by Miss Elsie Yam
dell of Louisville KY, will further add
to the evening event. Miss Yandell,
who is the guest of her aunt, Mrs
Isham Henderson of Sachem street, is
one of the most talented girls who has
ever visited in New Haven. she is as
much sought after in society for her
cleverness and fine voice as for her
beauty and wit.
