TATTERLEY AT THE HYPERION
 TONIGHT

lO-NlTI1I.
 The Bridgeport Telegram speaking of 'Tatterley," the new play in which John E. Kellerd is now appearing with great success, says: The story is peculiar one, and fascinating in fact. It tells the life story of miser who sees his faithful servant die, and profiting by the resemblance, pretends that he has died, and thus lives to hear and see how people act and think to- ward his memory. It was an ingen- ious plot, and has merit, which ap- pealed at once to a somewhat critical audience. The promoters of the pro- duction have great fath that it is a winner, and they are certainly justified in their beliefs, as with a scenic dis play and cast as strong as the pres- ent one, there is little doubt of it's suc- cess and its ability to win reputa- ton.
 John E. Kellerd, we'll known actor, gives a masterly rendition of the dual part of Caleb Cry and Tatterley. He is an emotional actor of rare ability and grace and brings the piece into prominence by his part alone It is a very strong one. Alice Neil makes a very sweet and sympathetic heroine and has striking mannerisms. Her part is also strong. George Alison did some very effective acting as Hector Kindon, sort of an easy going vil- lain. The play abounds in good parts, and there is particularly strong drunken scene in the third act which was well done last night, and which is also entirely different from anything of it's kind.
 The cast is capable throughout, and each part appears to have some quality which distinguishes it from the ordin- ary. Indeed the play is not an ordinary one in any sense of the word. E. H. Stebbins, who is remembered her for his clever work in Sky Farm has a small part, and Mary B. Henderson, who was also in the same company, makes considerable of part entrusted to her.
