1reat society Interest in the Event
 Features of the PIay-Fine Setting PrOcured-The Entire Cast. i Among the undergraduates of the col lege and the theatergoers of the town the greatest interest centers this even ing and tomorrow in the presentation of the modern comedy. ..New Men and Old Acres by the Yale Dramatic as- sociation, the entire cast being compos- ed Of the actors selected by weeks of long rehearsals from the members of the association. The curtain is schedul- ed to rise promptly at S:15, when the Yale actors will make their bow to the New Haven public. the audience which is expected at the affair will be a bril- liant one, for in these days the uresent- ation of the Yale play is becoming to be considered one of the social events or the season. The Hyperion theater takes a gala appearance with the cot erie of ladies and gentlemen assembled on the evenings which the play is given, for the audience is representative of the social and business life of the city. to- gether with all the departments of the university.
 The cast which will represent the diff terent types of the Englishman of the present day has been chosen with great care, to place the best possible com plnations of acting before the public that the association is able to produce. This is the first modern play the Yale actors have as yet attempted, for their past efforts were confined to the older claslcal plays and comedies. Though the comic scenes are not excessively broad in their hurnor so as to be bois- terous or resembling the farce, yet the comedy of the play is not lacking. It is the story of the rubbing together of two different types of English classes which are far better separated. F. c. Brown, Who first came into the association's plays last spring, will take the charac- ter q Id Bunter, the grasping English merchant. He thoroughly understands the part and is possessed of the redllis- lte personality to carry the character as was the intention of the author. R. O. Dobson of the Art school will dofr his feminine attire this evening. the at tire with which he won the audience in the part of Mrs Crolzer last spring, to take up the character of Bertie Fizurse. the smooth careless English chappie. 5. k. Burnap, one of the finds for the association carries the character of the German Jew, Blasebbalg, with more than marked ability. The short scene near the end of the play where Blasen- balg does Bunter out of a large check much to the later's discomforture is es- pecially humorous. Of the feminine roles, nearly all of the men have ap- peared in the associations plays at some other earlier period. E. H. Hart we'll, Buell. Hollister, D. F. Fox and J. M. Minor are well known in that capac- ity
 The management has attempted to have everything of the best quality, in the way of scenery, costumes, wigs properties and other accessories. At the dress rehearsal held in the theater lats evening all three acts of the play went off with the utmost snoothness. The different characters have been under studied by men who have attended all of the rehearsals for that purpose alone. which gives the rest of the men con- fidence, as they now have little cause to fear accidents
