LAST NIGHT AT THE HYPERION,


 LAST NIGHT AT THE HYPERION. The attendance at the Hyperion last evening to hear the musical extrava- ganva Tt Happened in Noordland, Z was not as large as the audiences will doubtless me the latter part of this week when the student body returns to Yale. But those who were there, while seeing and hearing nothing new and startling, did not come away dlsap- pointed. Like all the recent extrava- ganzas the plot was q very subservient affair, and was practically revision of well known and not very complicated series of circunstances. aided by the insertion of numerous references and reflections on recent events. The per formance as a whole lacked ginger and go, but probably these obstacles will be overcome after q few weeks on the road. Dan Mason, as Hubert Peepfo- gel" was early the star performer though Teddy Burns as ''Baron Spar ta,' the fat minister of war, with the slim voice, came in for his share of the applause. In corpuIance he was moIded after Secretary Taft, while in voice and dry goods clerk politeness he was of the Willie Fftzgibbons type.
 The music is pretty and catchy in places, though the chorus work was not equal to that in many musical comedies of last season. "Absinthe Frappe," Beatrice Barefacts,' and "A Little Class of One were encored sev- eral times and the students in attend ance adjourned from the theater whilt- ling the latter piece. which is really clever of it's kind though the kind is not altogether new. But elaborate cos tunes, brilliant lights and a chorus of pretty girls made the extravaganza as successful as its forerunners Babes in Toyland' and "A Social Whilr" were in their day. At times the chorus was in doubt just what to do. but little prac- tee is all that is needed to wear off the rough edges, and by the time "A Little Class of One" finds it's way to every piano in the city Cit does not take long for such pieces to become popular).

 Alderman Patrick Collins presented a resolution to the board regarding the appropriation of money for free text books for school children. He complain ed that the board of finance had made it a custom of late years to cut down the appropriation for the purpose to such an extent that the children in some schools had been obliged to pur- chase their own books. The substance of the resolution was that the board of aldermen request the board of finance to make sufficient appropriation for next year to supply all the children With free text books, and that the un- expended balance this year be used ,o purchase text books for the schools.
 Alderman Healy offered a resolution in which he asked that the board of al- derman request the trolley company +o put on sale six trolley tickets for twen- ty-five cents.
