BROWNIES AT THE HYPERION
 TONIGHT

TONIGHT. A rehearsal of the principal parts of the Brownies in Fairyland took place in the Hyperion theater Wednesday af- ternoon beginning at 4:30 and contlnu- ing until '.
 The children made a very pretty ap- pearance on the stage at the rehearsal. It will certainlybe very charming pie ture when the entire three hundred ap- pear in fancy costume.
 Leroy Root as Prince Aldebaran of the Brownie band is very effective in 1 his part while Miss Marie Houghkirk makes a very graceful and dignifed l Queen Flora
 The duet between "Aesthetica" (Miss Ruth Lichtensteim and "Cholly Bon 1 tonniere, the Dude" Grvin Beebe) is very effective indeed. | Miss Lichtenstein is very dramatic little "Aesthetica" and is fine in her part, while Irwin Reebe quite out-dudes | the dude of tradition Their duet opens as follows: Cholly Bontonniere-"I could tie my own cravat when I was six" Aesthetica-'At the age of three my playthings were bore"
 c. B.-"While at seven I'd enthuse over patent leather shoes.
 Aes.-"I was reading Emerson when was four.'
 c. B.-'I was very careful of my trousers crease"
 Aes.-"All my baby gowns I wanted cut en train"
 c. B.-"How I longed for silk hat could take and crush out fiat"
 Aes.-"Just lily was enough to turn my brain"
 CHORUS OF BROWNIES AND
 FAIRIES.
 "Oh, they're different, yes different
 from others of their kind; And duplicate of either would be very
 hard to find. Oh, they're different, yes different, as
 any one can see, Whoeer they may resemble, they're not
 like you or me- Miss Lichtenstein has a fine, strong voice, while Master Beebe's singing is truly seraphic.
 Clifford Beardsley makes most pa triotie Uncle Sam, and goes through | his part with much dignity
 "Toddlekins and Lippytoes," the wee of the queen, are two charming little maidens, Hannah May cock and Mildred Clark and are great favorites.
 The children also met for rehearsals yesterday at 4:30 D. m. at the Edwin Bancroft Foote Boys club (formerly Polo Rink).
 Delightfully."- complete are theprepara tions for the presentation of the chil drens friends, the funny little Brown ies. at the Hyperion this Friday even ing and Saturday afternoon. Three hundred bright and interesting New Haven children are to be transformed by Palmer Cox's magic touch into Fair les, Flower Girls, Brownies and mili- tary army. It will be original and very funny.
 The work which the boys department of the Y. M c. A. is planning for the boys of New Haven is to be one of the most complete in the country. The ,ooms which have been set apart in the association's new building are large and we'll arranged for the purpose, while the Polo rink, which is to be fitted for work Or employed boys, will give ample fa- ,ilities for that particular branch of the ,oys' department. The boys secretary, Harvey l.. Smith, has made a thorough | judy of boys clubs both in the Young Mems Christian associations and in ther organizations. Combined with his knowledge of the methods of work, le has deep insight into boy charac- CT and great enthusiasm and devotion o his charge. He will have efficient | ( assistants In the various branches of he work, and every effort will be made I o organize the department in the most ( thorough manner. l The Brownies entertainment is to 2 lay a very important part in this. The ( roceeds are to go to furnish the boys I ooms, and every person in New Haven q 5ho is interested in the welfare of the T oys of the city should help make it a ucCess The Saturday matinee of the Brown s IS will begin at 2:30 3. m. It will not be necessary that the chill c ren who take part in the entertain | ,ent be accompanied by friends to as- n t in their costumes, as there will be c ,rge committee of ladies present to at md to this matter. Very great credit reflects on Mrs. c larry Welch. the chairman of the rownie entertainment committee. To U CT faithful and efficient work the af- u lir will owe it's success.
