The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1903-03-19

One of the important musical attrac-
tions of the season, to appear at the
Hyperion on Thursday night, March &c,
will be Mabelle Gilman, in 1.-THE Mock
ing Bird" fresh from its triumph at
the Bijou Theater, New York city.
Miss Gilman is a New York favorite,
who is seldom seen outside of the me-
topolis. She comes here at the head of
her own company that is making a
short tour prior to their departure to
London, England. "The Mocking Bird
is a romantic opera written by Sydney
Rosenfeld, translator of 'At the White
Horse Tavern" and most of the late
Roland Reeds plays, The music is by
A, Baldwin Sloane. Unlike most of the
recent musical plays, it has a we'll sus-
tanned plot and so combines the sus-
pense of dramatic interest with laugh
ing comedy situations.

sit takes all sorts of people to make a
world" and by the same reasoning "it
takes all sorts of people to make a
ploy. Part of the long continued sue
cess of Way Down East" which re-
turns to the Hyperion Theater on Mon
day evening, March %, may be due to
the fact that it's people are of most
agreeable and natural sort.
Anna Moore, the heroine of the piece,
has much in common with the average
young woman country-born and bred.
She is quiet, modestly unassuming,
clingingly affectionate and useful about
the house. Squire Bartlett, too, firm of
chin, unused to contradiction and con-
fident of his position as head of the
family, is of type not rarely found.
Whenever one does find a Squire Bart
lett one is rather likely to find a
spouse Of the gentleness and patience
of Mrs. Bartlett Manly young fellows
like David and with mistaken principles
such as are those of Lennox Sander
son, are common, while no member of a
rural community can fail to recognize
Martha Perkins, gossiping spinster,
whose chatter is at the bottom of all

in the house of the squire. If some of
the comic characters in Way Down
East" are trife exaggerated, no one
who remembers the merriment they oc-
casion will be inclined to blame Mrs.
Parker or Joseph r. Grismer, who ella
borated her manuscript. These crea-
lures of the brain are realized as here
tofore by a cast different in no essential
particular from that of former seasons.
Phoebe Davies is the Anna of the pro-
duction, a role which she originated;
Archie Boyd is the Squire; Sara Ste
vens is the Mrs. Bartlett; Uric B. Col
Inns is the David; Robert Gaillard is the
Lennox Sanderson; Charles A. Burke
the Constable Whipple; John E. Bren-
nan the Hi Holler; J. Fl. Bunny the
Seth Holcomb; Franc Currier the Pro-
fessor Sterling; Marion L. Shirley the
Kate Brewster, and Ella Hugh Wood
the Martha Perkins. The quartette is,
as usual, feature of the production.
This same spirit of elaboration has
prevailed in preparing the entire pre-
sentation, which will be staged in pre-
cisely the same manner as at the Acad-
envy of Music, New York city.
The engagement in New Haven is for
three nights and Wednesday matinee.

A Severance dispatch to the st. Joseph

it was noised around that Mrs. Lille

man, being about eighty years OF age
and quite wealthy, and is highly respect
ed. Mr. Rippev asserts that there is no
foundation for the suit, and denies the

ison; Doster, of Topeka, and N. L. Bow
man, of Garnett-and that he would
fight the case to finish.

the last united stand of the independents
against the Standard in the ill-adyised
attempt of 1859 to bring MIR. Rookie

uprising of the colossal fabric of the
first great modern trust The chapter
is brilliant example of the best kind OF
