'ARlZONA.
 Arizona" is coming back to the Hy- perion theater for a two days Christ mas engagement, Wednesday Christ mas day) matinee and night, and Thursday night, December 20. It is pre- assured of a warm welcome by reason of the fact that it made good" if the term may be used, in all sorts of ways on the occasion of its first presentation nearly two years ago. New Haven had opportunity to pass critical opinion upon Augustus Thomas play before New York, held in the thrall of the so- called syndicate, got chance to see it. New Haven enthused very much over Arizona" and oddly enough New York, which isn't usually fond of ac- cepting an outside verdict, fell into line and followed the band wagon. Since it was seen here Arizona" has been play cd for thirty-five weeks in the metrop- oils, thereby achieving the record of more presentations in New York with in given time limit. than any other dramatic offering, The musical freak "Florodora' is the only piece of con- temporary presentation which has equalled Arizona" in the number of performances within the past eighteen months Arizona" is delightful play, clean, wholesome as well as thrilling drawn on the lines of real-blooded hu manity, and frightened with comedy of the particularly excellent type which Thomas alone knows best how to ham dle. LaShelle and Hamlin were warmly commended in New York for the excel lence and even balance of the cast in Arizona" no less than for the taste and opulence of the scenic investiture The production at the Hyperion will be identical in most particulars with that of the Academy of Music, New York. The cast includes Olive May, J. W. Cope, Agnes Muir, Dustin Farnum, Alice Chandler, William Haworth, Eleanor Wilton, William Hazeltine, Grace Thorne, Frazer Coulter, Frank Campau, Stanley Murphy, George O'Donnell Charles Welch, and Frank Bonn. The advance sale of seats has been large. Price $1.50, $1, 75c.
 In the vivid red habilments of Satan Lewis Morrison himself will appear at the Hyperion New Years day, matinee exulting over lost souls in the spectac-
 
 power and fervor of Lewis Morrison's rendition Of this complex character have made him famous in all English speaking countries, and though many imitators have appeared, he is conceded to be the envy and despair of all com petitors.
 Did you ever court country girl Did you ever sing in country church choir? Did you ever go to husking bee? Did you ever attend town meet ing? Quincy Adams Sawyer, young lawyer from Boston did. and that is what the play called Quincy Adams Sawyer to be elaborately produced here on Thursday, January 2 at the Hyperion, is about. The popular New England novel of the same name told all about these happenings, but it is said they are depicted even more vivid- ly and interestingly in play form. All should see this beautiful New England 1 play.
 Elsie DeWolfe and her fine support l ing company will present Clyde Fitch's | ''Tfe Way of the World" at the Hy perion on Friday night, January 3. The | New York Herald says: The theater was packed, and the star, the author ! and the company were called before the curtain again and again. The play fits Mis- deWolfe and she fits the play. The [ audience regarded her as a pronounced | success. E. s. Willard will present "The Mid- dlenan" at the Hyperion on Saturday night, January 4.
