THE RED KLOOF.

| Following the established custom of | most players of repute Louis Mann and | Clara Lipman presented their new drama, "The Red Kloof," to a repre- sentative New Haven first-night audi ence before opening their regular New
 York season at the Savoy next week.
 The new play was written especially | for MT. Mann and Miss Lipman by Paul M. Potter and is staged under the management of Rich & Harris in a most stupendous manner, all of the stage settings and costumes showing up to good advantage, partly because they were new and bright and partly because excellent judgment was shown in choosing and arranging them. In many of the situations throughout the piece it is plainly evident that MT Mann was the only person the author had in mind for he is given excellent opportunity to display much of that droll comedy and character work that was so noticeable in his latest success, "All on Account of Eliza" in which he acquits himself most creditably. Aside from the light comedy which has al- ways been his favorite role he has a few serious lines which are calcula ted to put him on his mettle, but he is ful- ly equal to the task and commands as much applause in these as in the light CT roles,
 Miss Lipman, that charming little To ,;+ Mann for the past few years, was ex- celent as Mona Prinsloo, duplicating all her former triumphs. She was &C., corded very cordial welcome through out the entire production and carried herself with her usual grace and piquancy.
 That Red Kloof' will be a success goes without saying for it deals with popular subject, is full of interest and is so arranged that the enthusiasm of the audience increases as the plot is unfolded and the stronger situations are understood.
 "The Christian will be presented at the Hyperion tonight. Edward Morgan appears in his original role of John Storm, assisted by Elsie Leslie as Glory Quayle and a strong supporting company. Miss Leslie's great hit as Glory Quayle in "The Christian at the Boston theater has overturned and obliterated one of the soundest and most revered axioms of the drama that "a child prodigy rarely or never develops into a high class performer"
 Miss Leslie's enormous success as a child actress in Little Lord Fauntle- roy' and In "The Prince and the Pauper" would then appear to have been an inauspicious rather than a propitous occurrence. That she was able to Tive down." as 1t were, her early triumphs, and establish a new one, speaks well for her abilities and artistic attainments. But the deeper we delve into dramatic history, the less reason we find for the existence of so absurd a notion as the foregoing. AL most every one of the great actresses of the past was Caught early" like Miss Leslie, and in youth displayed un- usual and surprising powers. Seats now on sale. Prices $1.50. s100, 75c and soc.
 All the musical numbers that are in- troduced in 'The Governors Son." the
 
 Cohans are now starring, were written and composed by the versatile young author of the piece, George H. Conan. Among them is "The Weeping Widow pThe Governor of the State" "The Story of the Wedding March, "Too Many Miles From Broadway" I'm Regular William Gillette" "The Gov ernor's Son." "The Bloomingdale Two step" "Oh, MT Moon" Never Breathe a Word of This to Mother" "The Gov ernors Guards" and a new coon song. There is a diversity in the music of these numbers but in every instance it has the catchy quality which takes with the public and they fit in the text of the play just as appropriately as the situations and and bits of busi- ness. The Four Cohans appear at the Hyperion next Friday night. Seats no won sale. Prices $1.50 $1.00, 75c and Soc
