1.-THE OTHER GIRL.o

''The Other Girl" which Charles Frohman will present at the Hyperion theater next Monday evening with the original strong New York cast, is the funniest and best of all of Augustus Thomas successful plays. It made the most conspicuous triumph of the last. season, filling successfully through many months, the Criterion, the Elm pire and the Lyceum theaters. There was never a night during it's long run that it did not have a full house, and no theatergoer sat through it that did not laugh to his hearts content, and enthusiastically recommended it to his friends and neighbors. .gs,
 The popularity of "The Other Girl'' has been due to the novelty and charm of it's modern up-to-date story, the cleverness, and vital quality of its char acters and the teerning fun of line and situations that invite and delight at every turn. In this surpassing play, MT. Thomas makes an amusing hero of lightweight pugilist, and the por- trayal will be recognized wherever the play Is given, who has a muscular per- son for rival, and who in his love making and in all the social phases of his life cannot conceal beneath his good clothes the assortment of jabs and upper cuts that brought him fame in his profession. The part is wonderful | ly played by Lionel Barrymore, son of the famous Maurice Barrymore, who has already won his way to the front rank of American actors. The attrac- tive girls whose heart stories are writ
 ten into the play, and variety of typ l ical American characters, are concerned in it's development. New York life is
 fascinatingly pictured in. it, and the
 production bears all the Charles F'roh- mans hall-marks of excellence. e- The
 cast includes Lionel Barrymore. Rich-
 ard Bennett, Frank Burbeek, Ralph
 Delmore, Wallace Eddinger,, Mabel Roe
 buck. Grace Henderson, Doris Keane,
 Francis Byrne, Maggie Fielding, Fred
 erick Raymond, Joseph Whiting, Ida , Greeley and Lou Middleton.

 Game from Bridgeport.
 Charles R. Hazlitt alias Scott alias Hill was arrested last evening by Detectives. Daley and Ward on the charge ot op- taining money under false pretences and running an employment agency without a license.
 .nazlltt came to New Haven only Sunday evening and immediately in- serted an advertisement for an employ ment bureau in the Hotel Hoyton, 5t Court street. Then he waited for pat rons.
 Now it happened that Detective Cap- fain CoWles saw the advertisement ana with his keen instinct for that which IS not right scented evil. Therefore ne detailed two of his men to call upon the new employer of men. The detectives sauntered down to the bureau and put in their applications for positions.
 Now Hazlitt had in his outfit certain teIegrams purporting to come from en- blowers in which large numbers of men were called for from Hazlitt. All of the telegrams were dated September r and after his arrest he confessed to writing them himself.
 Inasmuch as Hazlitt had no license to operate an employment bureau he was acting in violation of a statute, and therefore liable to arrest on this ground. He was placed under arrest last evening by the detectives and so his game was nipped right In the bud, after being open for business but one day.
 Hazlitt says he came to this city from Bridgeport last Sunday. One of the firms named in his telegrams has 9 Bridgeport address.
 He will be held in bonds of $500.
