EMBELLISHMENTS.
Hyperion T'henter.

! The Hyperion offers tomorrow and
Saturday nights, with matinee Satur-
day, a very strong bill Two Belasco
plays and the newest Belasco star will
be seen. AS author, David Beasco
promises the theater-goers his two most
recent triumphs, combining in a double
bill, the merry farce Naughty Antho-
ny" and the Japanese play Madame
Butterfly" AS manager, he gives back
! to the stage one of the cleverest fun
makers it has ever possessed, namely,
| Charles e. Evans. This excellent COM
edian is happily remembered as the
one-time associate of "Old Hoss" Hoey
in "A Parlor Match" and jolly well
come is assured him when he first steps
on the stage Of the Hyperion tomorrow
evening in the title part of Naughty
Anthony" Since the merry days of
Evans and Hoey they have had many
lmitators. Not one of them, however,
has been able to fill the place of either,
which is why the return of the chief
member of the old "Parlor Match" firm
is both timely and welcome. The naugh-
test part of Naughty Anthony is the
name, but there is one scene in the
third act in which Cora, the stocking
model tries on at least a dozen pairs
of the most attractive hose her employ
er has in stock. Some Salvation army
lasses presently call to urge her to give
up her happy, if tempting, profession.
Instead she proceeds to show them how
fascinating a pretty stocking can look
when properly displayed. The result is
that the stockings carry the day-as
well as the interest of the scene. In
this play Charles e. Evans will seek to
disclose all he knows, and perhaps a
little more, concerning the subjest of
stockings in general and of stocking
models in particular. OF course this
has to do with his role as professor of
moral culture" But the development
of the process is a thing to be seen and
not told. Consequently that delectable
part of Naughty Anthony" will be re-
served for the audience that shall as
semble to witness the play.
The Evans comedy will be proceeded |
by Madame Butterfly" dramatiza
ton by Mr.. Belasco Of John Luther
Longs charming japanese story seen
originally in the pages of the Century. |
This little play has received high COM
mendation for its novelty and beauty, |
and, moreover, comes to New Haven /
with the endorsement of New York and .
London. The acting part Of the piece +
Is preluded by the exhibition of some
and very pretty pictures
of Japanese scenery, which insensibly
translates the audience into the sphere l
in which Cho-C ho-Sans love story un-
folds itself. For both plays the origi-
nal production will be seen, and both
will be given with that excellent atten-
ton to cast which marks all of Mr.
Beasco's undertakings. The interest
begins with the rise of the curtain, and
In order not to miss any of the beau
ties of the little Japanese love story the
audience should be in their seats in
