"A Hearty Welcome for the Distin-
gutshed Visitor.

Winston Spencer Churchill, who will
this evening at the Hyperion delivel
the second of the series of lectures ht
is to give in this country, is sure of 6
, hearty welcome in New Haven, as il
New York last night. The fact that his
lecture is to be illustrated adds mucf
to the pleasure and vividness of his
stirring story. He will give first
hand account of the Boer war as he
saw it, including his own escape from
Pretoria, and though naturally very
loyal to England his fearless honesty
and outspoken criticism give praise and
blame to Buer or British impartally
Dean Wayland will take the chair in
PRODUCING Mr.. Churchill to his New Ha-
ven audience. Features of the evening
will be the presence of many students
who as one would expect, are much
interested in the splendid life and vital
ity of Mr.. Churchill; and also many
from the Sons of st. George society
who expect to give him, as one said,
IAN Englishman's welcome"
Socially Mr. Churchill will be enter
tanned as much as his short visit per-
mits Dean and Mrs. Wayland have

ternoon the undergraduates will give
him cordial reception through com
mittee consisting of Messrs. f. Gordon
Brown and Sherman L. Coy 1901, Ar
thur c. Luddington 1902, and Lloyd D..
Waddell, William M. Fincke 1901 S.
On his arrival Mr.. Bromley and Mr..
Daggett will call upon Mr.. Churchill,
giving him the freedom of the Gradu
ates' club after the lecture.
Dean Wayland, who called upon him
in New York, expresses himself as
much pleased and impressed by the
| personality of the young Englishman,
who appears a strong and interesting
character. There is no doubt that Mr..
Churchill will be welcomed, not as the
| descendant of the great Duke of MARI
borough or even as the son of his brill
! liant father, Lord Randolph Churchill,
but for himself and on his own merits.
The seats are on sale at the box office.
Prices 81, 75c and soc. The lecture will
open at 8:15 p. m.
Mrs. Leslie Carriers return to New
Haven after a season full of triumphs
at ONE and abroad will be the event Of
conspicuous interest in local theatricals
Friday night, when she plays an en-
| gagement at the Hyperion that is
strictly limited to one night While it
may not be necessary to dwell largely
on Mrs Carriers brilliant career since
first she appeared in her thrilling Gre
alton of "Zaza," nevertheless her re-
appearance at this time is invested
with uncommon interest. In the first
place. she will not be seen here again
in the part. This is announced as her
last season in "ZaZa" consequently
many who have not hitherto taken ad-
vantage of opportunities will improve
these last chances to be afforded at the
Hyperion The bald announcement of
the fact that this is her farewell ap-
pearance here in David BelaSco's play
will serve to attract an enormous audi
ence, for theatergoers have by no
means forgotten the wonderful en-
gagement played here by this eminent
actress a year ago. Since that time
she has won new laurels, has received
the compliments ofroyalty, and has
successfully established herself as the
first among Englishspeaking actresses
During Mr.. Carriers fifteen weeks at
the Garrick theater in London, she
practically repeated the record previ-
ously made in New York The first
night was one of breathless interest
and of uncomfortable enthusiasm. The
press even the most conservative
among them, were unanimous in prais-
ing the magnificent quality of her work
and in declaring that for forceful act
ing, natural method and personal mag !
netiSm, she was not to be equalled by ,
any actress on the English stage From /
that moment London paid literally for /
the chance of seeing Mrs. Carriers .
"Zaza." The rush for seats was I'M .
precedented, and at one time there was
nothing to be bought for love or money
for as many as three weeks ahead.
Throughout the fifteen weeks the usual
crowded audiences testified to the pow
erful hold she had upon London, and, in
cheers and applause, duplicated the
scenes of enthusiasm which had been so
frequent on this side of the water Thus
London endorsed the verdict which
New York had been first to render;
and, having thus accomplished the
prime object of her visit, Mrs. Carter
was glad to hurry to her own shores
to resume her triumphal tour where
she had left it at the close of last
March, For the past six weeks she has
been appearing at the Criterion thea
ter, New York, repeating there the
great artistic and financial success she
had formerly met with at the Garrick.
When she comes she will bring the en-
tire company that has been seen in her
support from the first, and will present
he play with all the original embelish-
ments in the way of scenery and
