An important element in the play, and which in a 1neasure &C., counts for it's popularity with theater- goers of all classes, is the fact that at- tractive musical numbers are logically introduced at appropriate times, the songs being woven into the plot, which revolves around the efforts of the hero inc, a young Virginia aristocrat, to con quer fate and fortune by means of her vocal talents.
 Elaborate scenery and a large conn pany of carefully selected metropolitan players assure for "The Choir Girl'' a thoroughly adequate performance.

New Haven Thenter.

Child Slaves of New York" Charles E. Blaney's popular melodrama, scored a decided success before a large and appreciative audience at the New Ha- ven theater last night. This is it's sec- bond appearance in New Haven, and many theater-goers will remember the success with which it met when here two years ago. It is a very remarka- ble play in many respects and is found led on life and interesting features in the great metropolis. It is staged with wealth of scenery and effects seldom attempted on the road. The four acts are composed of many thrilling and realistic situations and the audience is kept very much alive all through the play.
 The first scene is laid in the gold re- gions of Alaska and shows the slow clad mountains at Mt. Elias, rising peak on peak, bathed in the shimmering and mysterious glow of the ever changing lights of the Aurora Borealis. Ones interest does not falter, one does not stop to question probability, possibility or anything else. For the time it is a reality so vivid that it carries the spec tator along without volition.
 But this is by no means the only feature of the play. The audience is quickly transported to the heart of the metropolis, to it's picturesque but dingy river front. The light of the rising moon but indistinctly shows the dark outlines of an immense grain elevator, | in the shadows of the famous Brooklyn bridge, rearing its massive bulk above f the rippling waters. All is quiet and the splash of the river and the whistle of a passing steamer alone break the stiffness. The elevator is an abandon ed structure, and the headquarters of well organized band of thieves.
 The cast is a very powerful one and the various members were repeatedly encored for their splendid work. Dur ing the progress of the play specialties were introduced by Harry LeVan, Belle Myers Topsy Fisher; Will Campbell and Jack Moore, all of whom greatly pleased the large audience.
 "Child Slaves of New York; will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night and at the matinee tomorrow, and the play is worthy of crowded houses at each performance. The advance sale o1 seats is very large and early applica- tion is advisable.
