New Haven Thenser.

Quincy Adams Sawyer" the latest
rural play to achieve any marked sue
cess since 1.-THE Old Homestead" p
that kind of success and popularity
which makes the name or the play a
household word in every city where
presented-has the distinction of being
entirely different from all other rural
plays. 1t is not modelled on the plan
of any other New England play. AS
the book of the same name was unique,
so the play made from it proves abso-
lutely unique. 1t is a cfean, pure,
swset, wholesome play without bitter
ness. The types of the people in it are
one and all distinct and natural, such
characters as one would be sure to find
in NV England country village. They
are plain people, unsophisticated and
peculiar to certain extent but none
the less generous, warm-hearted and
honest. The lives they lead are simple,
ordinary lives, with sunshine and shod-
ow mingling-but a good deal more
sunshine than sorrow.
Best of all, however, 1t is one of the
jolliest of plays. No other rural drama
ever pretended to make such an import
ant feature of its fun. Nothing could
be more realistic than the husking bee
scene in the third act, with its red ears,
its real kisses and other equally humor-
Gus situations and incidents, not for
geetting the third act climax, which
must not be described because the fun
of it is lost if it does not come as a
complete surprise upon the tn ater-
goer.
The genuine country atmosphere is
emphasized in the carefully and elab-
crate stage settings The entire New
York production and cast will be seen
here in the New Haven theater, as the
New Years offering for one week, COM

"nIRER AMMEnRkzAI1n

Pulpit, press and public endorse the
pictorial reproduction of "Oberammer-
gau, Its People and Their Plays as
given by Mr.. Henry Ellsworth, who will
appear at the Hyperion Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, with matinees Fri
day and Saturday.
In language the choicest, not infra-
quently soaring to the eloquent and in
spring, and at all times pleasing and
entertaining, Mr.. Ellsworth gives to his
audience the result of his many
months stay In the home of the simple
peasants, who each decade of years re-
peat the wonderful drama To those
who have had the good fortune to hear
Mr.. Ellsworth, witnessing his realistic
reproduction, and viewing the scenes
of the little Bavarian village, it's sur
rounding country, its village life, its
business interests, and its great play,
leave the great auditorium with a
greater knowledge, a keener perception
and more vivid idea of the more beau
tiful simple life that is lived by these
peasants of Bavaria. Mr. Ellsforth' s
entertainment interests old and young,
the church-goer and the non-church-
goer, and it is historically interesting
in every sense. AS a testimony of Mr..
Ellsworth's success in his wonderful en-
tertainment, the fact that he appeared
in one city alone forty-nine times td
the capacity of the theater at each per-
Torrance should convince every one of
its merits, interest and drawing powers.
A select orchestra, choir singers and
cathedral chimes will be introduced.
AS a, special feature, Mr. Ellsworth
will introduce for the first time here
views of the scenes, tableaux, charac-
tiers and music from the Kreuzesschule
as produced in Oberammergau last
summer (19O5), when he visited Ober-
ammergau for the fourth time The
Kreuzesschule has not been given since
| 1875 until last summer

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Thentes.

Life in the barracks is the theme of
the intensely emotionei play, Taps"
flights OUT, in which John e. Kellerd
will be seen here as a star on Monday
night and a special New Years mat
inse on Tuesday. The play deals with
the military conditions in Germany. In
Berlin, SO successful was the presenta-
ton of the drama that it continued
without cessation for two years. In
London, too, the play was produced by
H. b. Irving, son of the late Sir hen
ry Irving, and was one of last years
triumphs. Mr.. Kellerd will play the
stern sergeant Won Keller, who discov-
ers that, unknown to him, his daughter
! loves an officer of high rank. His visit
to the barracks is the means of his
knowledge of her secret. The part of
Won Keller gives splendid opportunity
for the talent and technique of which
Mr.. Kellerd is the possessor. The role
of the daughter, Clara, is played by
Miss Viola Fortescue, the beautiful
daughter of George Fortescue, the we'll
known comedian.
1t has been decided to make a change
from the original plan, and instead of
playing Taps" at all three perform
ances on Monday and Tuesday, Mr..
Kellerd viii present Hamlet" on Tues
day evening.
A new Hamlet" at any time is in
teresting, and in this case doubly so, in
that but three other cities have had
the opportunity of seeing Mr. Kellerd
in the role. He first essayed it in
Brooklyn a few days ago, where his
presentation was given cordial recep-
ton. Worcester saw it next, and then
on last Friday night Providence gave
1T SO emphatic a stamp of approval as
to convince the management that Mr..
Kellsrd's venture into Shakespearean
fields had met with unqualified success.
Of course, everyone realizes that
nothing more daring can be attempted
by an actor nowadays than portray
al of this, Shakespears's most complex
character, and that Mr.. Kellerd has dis
armed some of the most captious critics
speaks volumes for his work.
The company is we'll cast in the piece
and the entire scenic production is car
ried, so that those attending may be
sure of a sincere and careful presenta-
ton.

The NicoIet.

There is one man in this ROOM" said
Mr.. Nicolet, who remembers what a
sensation was created in Civil war days
by our special artist on the spot in the
Illustrated newspapers of the Harpers
and Frank Leslie. The latter's real
name was Henry Carter, an English
man, who was a practical engraver He
invented the scheme of putting a large
drawing on pieces Of lockwood, fasten-
ed in sections, which were released, en-
graved separately, and then readjusted
to complete the picture. By this rush
system Leslie could Guido all COMPETE
tors. He also introduced the special
artist on the spot, but he never got half
the glory he deserved the funny para
graphers ridiculed his enterprise, and
guyed such artists as Schell, Lumley,
Wand and others, who risked their lives
in the field to illustrate the great bat
ties of the rebellion. Now they do the
thing quite differently. AS soon as war
breaks out the Nicolet Amusement COM
pany sends the moving picture man to
the front in behalf of their twenty-one
Nicolets, and thus is permitted to see
more of the war than either of the
commanding generals, without danger
and at the regular Nicolet continuous
performances. Admission five cents"

A prominent American dramatic crit
ic concluded a recent play reiew with
this sentence: IF a wholesome, hon
est, clearly play that alternates pathos
and laughter with gatling gun rapiditiy
is what theatergoers want, they will go
to see Quincy Adams Sawyer and it
is quite evident they are going"
In these few words he summed up the
facts and the reasons therefore that
epitomize the success of the great ru-
raj play that for four years has been
touring the country to record breaking
houses everywhere. The great masses
of the people want their drama to be
wholesome and clearly; they leave the
| highly seasoned dramatic pabulum to
the so-called socisty epicures. They
want no problems, no suggestive dis
| QUESTIONS upon topics that, outside of
| the theater, are not disuccessd in pub
| lie.
Quincy Adams Sawyer" gives them
an honest story of wholesome people
told brightly with great human inter-
est. The pathos is the decent sort and
is never obtrusive. The fun, while fast
and furious, is always clearly. In addi-
ton the play is giysn the most COM
plete and elaborate production possible
to the modern stage. The company has
been selected with special reference to
the fitness of the players for the work
they are to perform, and the ensemble
shows that completeness which is well
coined by theatergoers,
When the play is seen here at the
New Haven theater this week the proof
of all these statements will be so self
evident as to be indisputable.
Seats now on sale for all the perform
ances.
