Professor Mark A. Averill, who is here

ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion Theater.

Arthur Dunn, the famous Casino show girls. eight comedians, three prima donnas, twenty song hits, and the entire original production of the big Sam $. Shubert, Nixon & Zimmerman musical extravaganza, 'sThe Runa- ways" is a combination certain to test the capacity of the Hyperion theater tonight. This clever musical comedy ran for over six months at the New York Casino and comes direct from the metropolis in all it's splendor. The pro duction cost S75,000 before the rise of the curtain. "The Runaways" is in two acts, the first showing the club house and race track at Saratoga, and the second takes place on the Island of Table d'Hote in the Far Pacific, where indigestion is unknown. The plot has to do with dyspeptic general of the army who falls in love with a comic opera queen and the opportunities for tun-naking are practically unlimited. The management os The Runaways'' can rest assured that their enterprise in taking such a large company and pro- duction on the road will be fully appre- ciated and the financial returns will be correspondingly large. The following cut shows Arthur Dunn in his famous kiss song in ''The Runaways.'

At the New Haven Theater. THE MUMMY AND THE HUATMING


 BIRD"
 Nothing is absolutely perfect. Vol- taire said: The sum of imperfections makes peffections." Is Lord Lumley, the dead Mummy in "The Mummy and the Running Bird" perfect, or is 1t the sum os his imperfections which makes him perfect? One thing is cer- tain. No married woman can see the dear Mummy without secretly or openly wishing her husband to be like him; and no single woman can help wishing that some good fairly well send a duplicate of the dear Mummy, to be her husband. The best critics have been unable to determine whether it is the brilliancy ef the dialogue, the di- rsctness of purpose, the masterful skill in construction, the unexpected sur prises and the splendid character draw Ing that make "The Mummy and the Running Bird" so wonderful a success. or the human nature with which it is. filled, tn egood qualities of its men and women, which make all who see them resolve to profit by the example, and to be kinder. gentler. better. Be the sue cess attributable to what it may, one thing is certain, The Mummy and the Running Bird" is the greatest popular success of the present time. It will be seen here on September 5, 6 and ' at the New Haven theater commencing with Labor day matinee. The regular matt nee will be given on Wednesday. Seats now on sale.
