SWEET MELODY FLOUR

New Hnren Thenter.

Miss Grace Merritt in When Knight bod Was in Flower will be the attrac- tion at the New Haven theater to- night, Friday and Saturday nights and at the matinee Saturday.
 The character which Grace Merritt portrays in When Knighthood Was in Flower" that of the madcap Mary Tu- dor, is absolutely historical though Q statement to the contrary has been made since the play was brought out. Nearly four centuries ago Princess Ma " was a very real and decidedly alive young person, whose beauty and tenn per were common objects of adoration and awe on the part of all Englishmen of both high and low degree. To see Miss Merritt in the part is to witness most beautiful and wonderfully con- vincing vtvifying of this long dead and almos forgotten wilful but lovable girl
 The Bridgeport Standard says of the presentation:
 The attraction last night at Smith s theaetr, and which will be repeated this evening, was When Knighthood ! w dS III \ lOWtlt U uldiilbllNGI NtISlDl of Charles Majors famous novel In der the leadership of the artistic ac- tress. Miss Grace Merritt, the company scored a distinct hit last evening which was only a confirmation of the praise that Miss Merritt has already received in her role of Mary Tudor princess of England.
 The novel upon which the play i. founded is so well known that a de scription of the plot is out of place Sufficient to say that the stage settins is excellent and the company whcl supports Miss Merritt is a good one
 The role of the capricious heroine laughing crying, raging, and scolding all within the space of breath, wa! taken to perfection by Mics Merritt whose work carried conviction. Tn, principal male role, that oi Charle Brandon, was taken by Carroll Daly

THE PRESS AGENT. "

Peter r. Daley, which is the dignified title under which the well known and generally loved "Pete" is travelling these days, will be seen at the Hyperion on Monday and Tuesday evenings next week as the star of the Shuberts' new musical comedy venture, "The Press Agent" "The Press. Agent" was sent out in the spring to give the playgoers of several large cities an opportunity to pass on its merits, and their judg- ment was one of such warm approval that the star and the piece begin the new season with justifiable confidence of making one of the real hits Of the year. The elements of the offering are such as to guarantee unusual success. First there is Daley himself, with his unique and effervescent humor, and a dozen or so new songs; next there is one of the .handsomest musical comedy productions that ever come out of New York, and lastly there is a numerous company consisting mainly of assistant comedians and pretty women, who were selected principally becouse of their good voices, their dancing abilities and their knack of wearing beautiful cos tunes in the way that creates the best impression upon an audience that wants it's fun set in a halo of tasteful brill | liance.

 "On the stage the prize idiot in the east usually a young nobleman or q dude, always raises a laugh when With vacant stare and set features he speaks his lines about the effort Or thinking and the wearying effect such mental process produccss upon his physical being, He really speaks a greater truth than either he or the audience takes in, for thinking is an effort, be the thought in itself ever so irothy and ephemeral, and could we lessen the process of thought at will as an engineer applies the air brakes to his train, much of the trouble and disease in life would vanish like the meadow vapor before the rays of the rising sun.
 Ut is this impossible process entire ly to still what is called the thinking process which is one of the most in- tercsting studies of the specialist. for 1t is, plainly speaking, the inability of the individual to eliminate certain thought, from the brain cells, or to still it into inactivity which fills the insane asylums, produces nervous wreeks in other individuals and causes trouble, confusion and chaos all around in veeryday life.
 Persons to whom this fact appeals should endeavor with their own selves; to set 1t up as another persons, with whom they may hold converse, and objective and subjective mind ad- mts of this through conscious action, and in some happy and fortunate in- dWiduals through unconscious action

 It will be found that cooperation with the brain in the process of still ing thought is not as different as would be supposed, for the brain will remain quiescent if you will only per- init it,and become strengthened there- by, just as 1t will respond to the limit Iof exhaustion when called upon.

RULED OFF THE TURF"


 Ruled of the Turf, which A. H. Woods will present at the New Haven theater Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day nights next week, and at the Wednesday matinee, is said to fulfil all the necessary requirements of modern melodrama, with more than usual measure of plausibility and truth to nature. It is said to fairly soothe and bubble with strong dramatic stu, of the right brand, and the plot is socleVerly woven that the interest never falters till the final curtain drops. The lead- ing role is that of a manly little American jockey, and is portrayed by the popular young comedian and sing CT George Mack, who won the favor of local theatergoers last season in Tracked Around the World" He is said to give an ideal performance as Jack King, the hero of Ruled Off the Turf and as he dashes across the stage aslride Fire Ely, the winner of the Suburban, the conquest of the audi

 There will be placed on vew at the Hyperion Saturday night George Ades latest play the comedy called Just Out of College" It has much to do with a young man who has just graduated and arrived at the proper age, he thinks, to make something of himself, or at least to start in business, with the hope of winning fame and fortune.
 His first desire is to win the consent of the king of the pickle trust to marry his daughter, but before the day for the marriage ceremony the young man passes through many vicsstudes, aud encounters numerous obstacles which, of course, he overcomes.
 George Ade has written some clever comedies. His fund of humor seems to be inexhaustible. Hls talent in creat- ing interesting types of men and wom en for stage purposes approaches real genius. It is said of him that in his Just Out of College" he has written a play in which there is combined more comedy and more brilliant dialogue than he encompassed even in "The Col lege Widow" In this play the fun is said to be fast and furious, and the old pickle king is given a good run for his money.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hvperion Theater.

It was MT. Hackett's good fortune to capture "The Walls of Jericho" by AL fred Sutro, the biggest success in Lon don, which ran there for two years. A season in New York just concluded by MT. Hackett in this play, which lasted for over Six months, confirmed the London success of "The Walls of Jericho"
 In this play, MT, Hackett will appear at the Hyperion tonight.
 In writing The Walls of Jericho" its clever author has made a stirring ap- peal for the primal virtues, conjugal love and family ties. The story is that of rancher, Jack Frobisher, who has become q leader of men in Queensland, and having made a fortune, goes back home with the ideals about the beauty of life in England. He marries the daughter of marquis, and his money makes her leading figure in the bridget playing, scandal -mongertng smart set. Frobisher strangles in this pretty air of do-nothing sel1shness, and finally, when one ofthe men makes loveto his wife, he orders his English establishment sold and starts back for Queensland At first hs frivolous wife refuses to go with him. but their love for their child brings the two together, and the unietd family starts for bet ter life in Australia.
 MT. Hackett is the Jack F'robisher in MT. Sutro's play, role which is said to provide him with many great oppor- tunities. In support of Mir. Hackett is an exceptionally strong cast including Beatrice Beckley, May Blayney, Mary E Forbes, Mrs. Felix Morris, Blanche Ellice, Ruth Chester, Arthur R. Law renee, David Glassford, J, Cleneay Matthews, Orlando Daily and others.

In "Lord Randolph Churchill" which the Hampers will publish early in Octo- Der, Lord Rosebery has provided some supplementary "reminiscences of his friend, the elder liberal leader. The volume is one of modest size, and Lord Rosebery Is careful to say that what he writes is not intended to supplant the biography of Lord Randolph by his son, Winston Churchill--a work of which he takes occasion to speak in high praise Nevertheless (says the author), there are aspects of the father as to which the son in the nature of things could not be fully equipped to speak. It is these aspects which the present volume considers from the point of view of an intimate political associate Without due attention paid to them Lord Rose bery thinks the picture of Lord Ran dolph Churchill incomplete, and in any case the book is one of considerable in- terest.
 Mrs. Grace MacGowan Cooke and her sister and fellow-worker, Miss Alice MacGowan, are preparing for year in Japan. Mrs. Cooke is not, however, looking forward to Japanese fiction, but intends to finish book about the same people who are dealt with in her hu- morous story, 'Their First Formal Call just published by the Harpers.
