New Haven Theater.

"The Liberty Bellies" rang out in joy ful acclaim at the New Haven theater
 last night and an audience which tested the capacity of that popular playhouse
 was exceedingly generous in it's bestow- al of approval. This tuneful musical comedy has brought delight and satis- faction to thousands in all parts of the country, and it's presentation in New Haven the first three days of this week and Wednesday matinee is certain to add many more admirers 70 the long list. 4
 '.The Liberty Belles'' is Harry B.
 Smiths best effort and the company
 presenting it is fully the equal of the
 original and in several characters much improvement was noted. The comedy is in three acts, the first in a dormi- tory of young ladies seminary, with young women of all nationalities at tending; the second in the cooking
 school, and the third in a bungaloo at Palm Beach. The scenic investitures
 are of a high order, while the costum- | ing is superb. -tA '-' s ...-.', --s ... During the action of the comedy many catchy songs and chorus and fetching
 dances and ensembles are introduced,
 which, with the witty dialogue of the story, make an evenings entertainment of unusual quality. In short, The Lib erty Belles' is a high-priced show pre- sented at popular prices. The special ties and encores were numerous. but the work of Toby Craige, in limitations, and Frank Harrington were exceptional and
 roundly applauded. ssf '.',.,. '. :. "The Liberty Belles'' will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night, with a
 matinee tomorrow. gs <> ] One Of the present successes in a dra- lnatic way is the beautiful melodrama entitled 'In the Shadow of the Gal lows" which will be presented at the New Haven theater next Thursday, Fri day and Saturday nights, with matinee
 Saturday. The play deals with the af- fections of the heart, and the cardinal virtue of truth, and strongly portrays intense human emotions and arouses keen interest. Splendid scenic displays
 are used and fine acting company

The average business man in this

The barber proceeded to strop the
razor and lather the oil magnate's

entertain his client. he remarked:

world staying here"
"Ah.'' said Mr.. Rockefeller, "who is

is very poor man. For instance. if

stood for moment in silence, then
took himself off through the gate and
out into the road. In the dusty dis

Lotta was ignorant. Things looked
bitter to the man. but manlike he
cursed the woman for her lack of
