CRANE IN A NEW PLAY.

William H. Crane appeared for the first time this season at the Hyperion theater last night and, as usual, was greeted by large audience which was predisposed to be friendly and enthu
 siastic. MT. Cranes popularity is firm ly established and his reputation with the public is never allowed to rest on past laurels. He always brings a fine company and he always has a good play. It is not invariably a great play and last night the piece was conven-
 tional and commonplace in plot and treatment. But it was honest and clean and decidedly amusing and it provided Crane with the kind of role the public always approve of. He was brisk and breezy, bubbling over with vitality and now and then a touch of pathos. It was delightful performance that sent the audience home feeling happy and satisfied, convinced that honesty is good policy and virtue it's certain own reward. Michael Morton adapted it, from the German of Karlweiss. The company was admirable in fact. really better than the play required. William Courtleigh, one of the best young actors on the stage who comes from the Lyceum stock company, was excel lent as the rich mans son. William h. gersoll, William Sampson, Charles Jackson, and George F. Devere were all good in their parts, and Mr. Jack son rose splendidly to fine opportunity in the last act. MT. Crane always has comedy and attractive young women with him. In this case they were Percy HasWell Selene Johnson and Sandol Milliken. Miss Evelyn Carter was too exaggerated to be pleasing, although she had a difficult and ungrateful role. MT. Cranes next effort will be David Harum" "A Rich Mans Son" will be repeated tonight.

A BRILLIANT SUCCESS.

The last evening of the Cafe musicale was the most numerously attended of any of the series. A delightful menu was served, and with the attractive sbooths at the sides, Warner hall with its many bedecked tables took on the appearance of a veritable French "cafe chantant." Particularly good were the selections of the choir boys of Grace Episcopal church, led by Frank Edgar. F. S. Hamilton jr., is a clever whistler and was encored, responding with the intermezzo from Rusticana. Miss Elm ma Mcdonald sang charmingly lulla
 by in costume, doll and all. Harry WhittakeR played several piano solos and the Yale Glee club sang a number of songs always to encore. The voices are well blended and sing effectively. Sousa' Stars and Stripes Forever" was marched and sung by twelve la dies and as many gentlemen while Charles H. Mann was the soloist. The ladies were gowned in red, white and blue effects, and the gentlemen are members of the New Haven Grays and wore their full dress uniforms.
 A number not previously announced was solo by Mrs. F. Howard Rus sell and she certainly proved one of the artistic features of the programme. She sang most charmngly two classl- cal songs George Mahl, jr., of Hart ford, pupil of E. A. Leopold, was given the place of honor on the pro- gramme, being the last vocalist of the evening. His selection was the diffi- cult Toreador song from Carmen" which he sang with true spirit to the text. His voice is a robust baritone of great range and shows broad and ar tistic training. He certainly has brilliant future before him. As an encore he sang Dawn" by Lord Son. ersett in a rich sympathetic manner, Miss Eunice M White played the ac compartments with artistic finish. MT. Mahl sang these same selections in Hartford Thursday, at MT Leopold $ matinee musicale at which he brought out several other pupils of promise. At a supper for the participants which fol- lowed the entertainment Mrs Russell was presented with huge cake by Mrs. Downs. at the conclusion of a cute speech. which eliminated with the re- marks Mrs. Russell takes the cake"
 Much credit is due Mrs. Russell for her untiring efforts in behalf of the Cafe Musicale and undoubtedly good 1v sum has been realized for the build ing fund of the Y. M. c. A.
