New HnYen Thenter.

In the comedy drama sThe Unwrit- ten Law, as presented at the New Ha- ven theater last evening, the author, Mark F. Swan, has hit upon d new form of presenting the old story of mis- trusting and misguided though devoted husband, the jealous wife and the mu- tual friend who betrays husbands con- fidence and endeavors to compromise the wife by his pretense of affection. The play is neatly worked up and the plot is strong and full of interesting realities.
 Paul Featherstone is an artist of some ability and has handsome wife Mona, with whom he is desperately in love, and she with him, but her jeal- ousy leads to the belief that he is in love with another woman and she de- serts him. This is the desire of Griffith Wolfe, who is a wolf in reality, and he uses the opportunity to advantage. Mona leaves the country for trip to Europe, is followed by Wolfe; who con- tinues to assert his love for her but she spurns him, and at length tiring of the life of wandering Mona returns to her former home, still pursued by Wolfe, who continues to force his at tentions upon her. She maintains her lover for her husband, who had dur ing her absence been stricken blind and whose ardent love had turned to bitter hate, because of her deserting him.
 Wolfe, foilaa in his lovemaking while the husband is alive, resolves on des- perate means to put him out of the way, and is about to accomplish his horrible purpose when the husbands , sight is nairaculously restored and in a fight to the death Wolfe is cast from the balcony of a hotel overhanging a high cliff and falls headlong to destruc- tion. Explanations are quickly made and husband and wife reunited. There are number of by plays in the course of the action which furnish abundant comedy and make the play bright and , interesting.
 Miss Miriam Shelby as Mona is the
