4 NOTABLE PLAY.
"The Children of the Ghetto" is n Re. mnrkable Performnn be Rec pented To-night.

Israel Zangwills play, "Chldren of the Ghetto" was presented at the Hy-
 perion theater last night. It is who'll ly unique and remarkable performance, and ought to be seen. by every student Of the drama. It is an unusually inter- esting play. It Is beautifully staged and inteligently and sympathetically acted Children of the Ghetto" is founded on the book of the same name.
 zangwil made the stage version him.
 self and has shown a keen apprecia-
 tion of the demands of stage art The
 dramatic motive is hardly strong
 enough to make a powerful. play, but
 he has used 1t to the best possible ad-
 vantage, at the same time preserving
 much of the literary character of the
 book. The dialogue is good, the char
 acterization is excellent, and given a
 more potent conflict at the climax. great play must have been the result.
 As it is it's merits are much in excess
 of it's defects and the atmosphere and tone of the piece are extraordinary and refreshing. The actors were carefully drilled by the author himself and the piece was put on the stage under the authoritative direction of James A.
 Herne. The scenery is copied from the actual ghetto and the management of. the mob in the last act is admirable.
 The company which is presenting the piece here is practically the same which first played in New York, and is identi- cal with that which was sent to Lon- don. It is a fine company of players and all the roles are skilfully handled. Wilton Lackey, one of the best char acter actors on the American stage, has added considerably to his reputa- ton by his performance of the vener- able "Reb," Shemuel It is a touching and reverent piece of acting, embody- ing the intense religious fervor and beautiful parental love of the Ghetto's rabbi The parts of the lovers are now played by Robert Edeson of Little Minister" fame, and Rosabel Morrison.

Miss Morrison is an actress of sym pathy and sensibility and her acting was adequately expressive and com- mendably restrained. Edeson is al ways a manly sort of fellow of no par ticular distinction. William Morris, who has won so much repute by his acting of the Hebrew poet, Melchitse- dets Pinchas, made instant favor with the audience. His performance is very comic, despite certain ex- aggerations. The other roles, of which there is a long list. are all we'll done. The ensemble is delightfully."- even and the elaborate stage business is all maintained within artistic bounds.
 The piece will be repeated tonight.

NEW HAVEN WINS AGAIN
WHIPPLE MAKES 4 RECORD GOAL FROM SPOT IN THREE SECONDS.
Blues IDfitct Crushing Defeat on the Tigers-Visitors Were Minus Htpson- Clever All Round Play by New Haven
 Team-New Britain Again n Loser and
Hartford De fcats eridcn.

| A good crowd witnessed a very one sided game of polo at Bowling hall last
 evening. The final score, ten goals to
 three, in favor of the Blues does not
 indicate the comparison of the play.
 Two very apparent facts hold very
 strongly in favor of the visitors. The
 magnificent playing of their goal ten-
 der, Starkey, and the indifference of
 the Blues towards the end of the game
 But for these things the score would
 have been much larger for New Haven.
 Water bury was minus Hipson, which
 made a big gap in the team, and Bot tomley acted as substitute. In the first period New Haven had everything it's own way. It besieged the Water bury goal, and Starkey saved some lightning shots. The Blues, however, brought four goals out of the fray, Bone and Cameron doing the necessary.
 Opening the second period Whipple broke the record for goal scoring, driv- ing the ball into the net from the spot in three seconds. A few minutes later the same player drove the ball from the center into gentleman's pocket in the side gallery. No damage. Af- I6l pIIilS up i've more SOdlS lllS 1NSW Havens seemed to cool down and take things easier. Bone and Whipple gave some very pretty exhibitions of trick passing and Canavan and Whiting blocked the best efforts of Roberts and Menard It might justly be said that these latter and Starkey constituted the Waterbury team. At the close of the second period Bottomley scored from and effective pass from Roberts.
 The third period was more evenly contested than the previous two, and resulted in Waterbury scoring two goals and New Haven one. High, reck- less shooting characterized the play of Waterbury in this period. and Roberts caught a swift flyer on the head from one of his own players. Almost imme- diately after Whipple drove hard one in Starkey's face. Both play CTS, however, stuck to the game.
 It was a one-sided game through out, the Tigers being completely out classed. Bone and Whipple simply made circular tracks round them, and Canavan and Whiting stopped Roberts and Bottomley almost every time. La tions had all kinds of a picnic, but what little he had to do he did well. Line up and summary: New Haven. Waterbury
