Attendance at the Crawford theater
during the past several weeks has
been falling off. Is it any wonder?
1t would seem that the explanation of
this fact is that the people are be-
coming tired of paying extortfonate
prices for mediocre productions.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 81
Following is the text of the inn
perial manifesto, which has
changed the political complexion
of Russia in day:
I'VE. Nicholas the Second, by
the Grace of God, emperor and
autocrat OF all the Russias,
grand duke of Finland, etc, de-
clare to all our faithful subjects
that the troubles and agitation in
our capitals and in numerous
other places fill our heart with
excessive pain and sorrow.
The happiness of the Russian
sovereign is indissolubly bound
up in the happiness of our people
and the sorrow of our people is
the sorrow of the sovereign.
From the present disorders
may arise great national disrup-
ton. They menace the integrity
and unity of our empire.
The supreme duty imposed
upon us by our sovereign Office
requires us to efface ourself and
to use all the force and reason at
our command to hasten in secur-
ing the united coordination of the
power of the central government
and to assure the success of
measures for paciication in all
circles of public life, which are
essential to the well-being of our
people.
1--WE, therefore, direct our
government to carry out our in
flexible will in the following man
ner:
"First-To extend to the popula-
ton the immutable foundations
of civic liberty, based on the real
inviolability of person, freedom

"Second-Without suspending
the already ordered elections to
the state douma, to invite the
participation in the douma, so far
as the limited time before the
convocation of the douma will
permit, those classes of the popu
lation now completely deprived
of electoral rights, leaving the
ultimate development of the prin-
ciple of electoral right, in general
to the newly established legis-
lative order of things.
"Third-To establish as an un-
changeable rule that no law shall
be enforceable without the ap-
proval of the state douma, and
that it shall be possible for the
elected of the people to exercise
real participation in the super
vision of the legality of the acts
of the authorities appointed by
us.
I'VE appeal to all of the faith

their duty toward the fatherland,

apply their forces in cooperation
to the restoration of calm and
peace upon our natal soil.

MADE A HIT,

The four Mortons in Breaking Into Society, at the New Haven theater last night, incidentally broke into the good graces of a very large house, and from the first had every one with them. It was an evening of uproarious fun over the comical adventures of the Mortons in their laudable efforts to rival the aristocrats. It would be hard to say which of the Mortons was the most successful in drawing the applause of the house-they all appeared to be adopts at the trick.
 The bits of vaudeville interspersed throughout, the play were extremely clever Among the popular hits in songs were "I'm the Boy," by Major Mike and chorus; 'The Daughter of the Regiment" a lively march, by Aileen and chorus, and "Columbia's S Ccleen," by Aileen and chorus. The audience went wild over the latter and it was repeatedly encored.
 The Mortons are presenting one of the best laugh producers that has come to New Haven for Q long time. There will be no empty seats at the Crown street theater, for the rest of the week at least.

 Edwin L. Harvey, a wealthy propri- etor of hotels, with his wife, Gertrude E.. Harvey, members of Parsons church. were also, arrested at their homes about the same time on two warrants charging them with the same offense toward the daughter of Mrs. Schafer., All three gave bonds for their appearance on September 21.

THE GREAT I AM"
Score of Lyrics Pretty and Effec-
 tive.

Score of Lyrics Pretty and Effec-
 tive.
 There isn't much of a story to the musical comedy "The Great I Am," presented at the Hyperion theater last night, but it is quite as consistent as musical comedies go nowadays and serves as a vehicle for nearly a score of lyrics, some of them pretty and effec- tive. The piece is new and shows it's newness by halts and hitches. Last night, for instance, there was a delay of fifteen minutes between the acts, which made the audience so impatient that they were unappreciative of the good things they heard in the second half of the performance. Judtcious pruning and polishing are needed and must be given before the piece will meet the success it deserves, for there are many good points in the piece. MT. Filrth's lyrics are catchy and higher in quality than one hears in the ordinary musical sketch or light opera. One number in particular, "Love's Rain bow" sung by Lester and chorus just before the finale, was gem of it's kind and deserved more than the single en- core it received. MT. Furth conducted the performance.
 Frank Byron, the eccentric comedian who made his reputation on the vaude- vile stage, furnished most of the amusement of the evening as "The Great A1n," 8 detective who was SUD- posed to come from Scotland Yard, but proved later, on his own confession, when the revelations began to come at the end, to be from Derby! He was consistently idiotic and made a distinct hit in the part. Harry Walters, as Izzy Honest, made capital Jew, in accent and makeup. He had a funny parody song in the Hebrew dialect, which pleased the audience immensely. William Meehan, H. Guy Woodward and Reginald Barlow all had prominent parts and acquitted themselves well. Miss Louise Langdon and Miss Bessie Phillips took care of the chief singing parts for .women's voices, and Miss Phillips added to the good impression she created in her solo with some of the pretttest dancing seen here for long time. Miss Langdons hit was made with the song and chorus ''The Belle of the Stage" The song and chorus leash, Cash, Cash" was a flat failure. The comedy would be better without it
 Perhaps the most positive hit of the t piece was made by the quartette which appeared in the second act, apropos o1 nothing, and sang so we'll that every one was loath to let them get away again. AS it was, they were pretty nearly through their whole repertoire.
 On the. whole, the comedy was well worth hearing, but 1t must be worked over considerably before it can be wholly succsSasals
