Polls New Theater.

Karno's big London comedy company were headliners at Polls new theater last night with the assistance of the sixteen Mumming Birds. They com prise what has been termed the biggest European feature of the season. The act is hilariously funny, and the indica- tons are that crowded houses will greet them at their several performances in this city.
 A selected olio of headliners made up the balance of the bill, and they include Eddie Leonard and the Sharp brothers in Dixie Land;" T. w. Eckert and Emma Berg, with their operatic offer ing, The Land of Two Moons;" Le- vine-C -Cimaron Trio in knockabout ac- robatic speciality; Miss Rae Cox, the southern dialect comedienne; Darras brothers who have a new gymnastic exhibition to offeri Ethel MacDonough, announced as the Girl Behind the Drum," and the electrograph with new and novel views.

FINE PRODUCTION.

The production of "The Resurrec- tion" at the Bijou theatre this week by the Stock company, is the strongest play presented so far by this popular company; both houses were crowded yesterday and the audiences were more than delighted with the work of the company; as a production it more than fills the bill. If one were not to think of the price of admission they would imagine they were witnessing a much higher priced performance. The com- pany were seen at their best, each member being cast in a part that seems to fit them like glove. Miss Gertrude Shipman, as Katusha Maslo- va, was equal to the hard part and was very strong, especially In the prison scene. MT Lawrence B. McGfll, as the Prince, played his part with much feel ing; at no time did he overact the part. MT. Francis Owen, as Simon Backi- choff, was easily at home. His come dy work is excellent. Mir. James Cor don, as Captain Ivan Ivanoff, was all that could be desired and displayed rare ability, MT. Harry Langdon made a fine Prince Korchagen. Miss Margaret Hagen as Olga, a maid, was very sweet in the part. Miss Hrriet Barton, as Princess Mary orahagen, was very fine in her work and effec- tive. Miss Edith Crolius as Maria, an old woman, did great work in this part and displayed wonderful ability. All the minor parts were well taken and deserve a great deal of praise for the painstaking manner in which they were played. Taken as a whole it was truly great performance and reflects credit upon the management. Mati- nees will be given daily and Friday matinee souvenir phOtonw i'll be given away to all who attend.

ENTERTAINArENTS
Hyperion Theater.

Advance box office sale for Bernhardt opens to-day.
 The box office at the Hyperion Thea tre opens at nine o'clock this morning for the advance sale of seats for the appearance of Madame Sarah Bern hardt, the worlds greatest tragedienne, on Friday night in Dumas fils "Ca- mille''-the presentation of which by Madame Bernhardt laid the founda- tions of the younger Dumas as a play wright.
 That there will be a tremendous crush for seats is evident from the fact that Manager Rowland has been food ed with requests from all parts of the surrounding country, New Haven be- ing the only Connecticut town in which the great diva appears. After the per- formance last night messenger boys and enthusiasts who wanted to person. ally make sure of their tickets loitered about the theatre, intending to wait until morning and be the first in line. There were many requests for reserva- tions, but to all the same answer was made-that all applicants would have to take their places in line and secure their seats on the old rule of first come first served.
 In view of the certainty of a crush, special arrangements have been made to keep the line in order and insure the greatest possible expedition with the least possible discomfort.
 Madame Bernhardt will arrive in New Haven at noon Friday, and be- cause of the short time she has to stay in the city will live inl her private car the Pilgrim" which has become fa- nous throughout the country, first as the property of William K. Vanderbilt and now as the rolling boudoir of the worlds premier tragedienne.
 At the station she will be welcomed by 6 large crowd, including many Yale students, who are especially interested in her appearance and will be at the theatre in numbers She will be off, cially welcomed by the New Haven Alliance Francaise and by the Cercle Francais of Yale.

well aware of it's melody and tuneful- ness. Running for aOfice" is a mu- sical play out of the ordinary. It con- tains dramatic plot a story which commands the interest and attention of all intelligent theatre goers and is in terspersed with Cohanesque musical ef- fects and ensemble numbers which all America is fast becoming familiar with. The story of Running for Off, flee" Is easily described and the possi- bilities of much laughter will be read fly recognized.
 A widower with a grown daughter marrles a widow with grown son. Each has neglected to inform the other of the incumbrance and they have for gotten also to inform the children of the wedding, The children are attend ing the same school and fall in love and become engaged; result All kinds of complications follow which are worked out in true Cohanesque fash ion, which means rapid fire reparaee mingled with dance wherever possl- ble, song wherever appropriate and an unusual dramatic situation if feas- ible. In all the work that MT. Conan is responsible for at the present time, originality has always been his princi- pal aim. In Running for Office" he has probably given the public the best written and the best expressed musical play that has ever emanated from his pen. Seats now on sale. The advance sale indicates big business.

OBITUARY NOTES.

Charles Maxwell Lane of Bristol, who entered the Sheffield Scientific school last fall. is dead at the home of his parents, MT. and Mrs. Charles A. Lane. There seems to be no doubt but what his deatl1 was the result of a bullet wound received nearly eight years ago and which had been embedded near his brain ever since. Lane left this city last Wednesday suffering with an at tack of the grip. He became delirous last Friday night and died on Saturday morning. While he had a very severe attack of the grip the doctors assert that the old bullet wound was really the cause of death. On the Fourth of July 1898, Maxwell Lane, with some companions, were in bathing in the southern part of the town. One of the boys had secured a revolver from his home There were real bullets in the weapon, and one of them was accident ally discharged into the head of Lane He was taken to his home in an uncon- scious condition and for days his life was despaired of Then he rallied and recovered consciousness, but the bullet was never recovered from his head The result was that one side was paralyzed fro mtfaen on. His college record here was of the highest character and he was making a fire start in life when the illness terminated his career. Lane was born in Bristol, August 12, 1887, and would have been nineteen years old next August. He was the Son of Charles A. Lane, one of the leading merchants of Bristol and had always lived there.

Man Steps From Express Train Run

Man Steps From Express Train Rum
 ming Fast and Escapes Injury.
 Railroad men are talking about an occurrence here the other night which justifies the proverb Fact is stranger tRan fiction" Somewhere. in Stamford is man who can verify the statement, if he will He stepped off an express train moving at a pretty high rate of speed, and ne didn't receive even a scratch. It was the Boston express, west bound, and due here at 7:O3, ana if had swung about the Glenbrook curve and vase squared away for the Stamford station. Nearing a signal, the engineer shot the air through the pipes. and the train slowed some.
 The man in the story had been doz- ing, it seems, and when the train slowed he jumped up from his seat, rushed for a door and stepped off Whether or no the iron guards were closed doesn't appear, and whether he tkougipt he was being carried by his station is equally unknown. But the fact is, he stepped off the express train, which had picked up speed again before any of the train crew could prevent The erain was stopped as soon as possible, and members of the crew went back with stretcher, ex- pecting to find the man badly hurt, or perhaps, killed. Their surprise and pleasure were great when they met him making toward the station. He treated the matter jocosely, and said he was not hurt in the least. He declined to give his ame,-Stamford Advocate.

Nem Hnren rhent.r.

"The Confessions of a Wife" opened a successful engagement before a large crowd at the New Haven theater last night. Few of the melodramas that have made their appearance here this season have achieved a greater meas ure of success than has "The Confess sions of a Wife" Press and public to- gether have pronounced it a work that is both wholesome and instructive. The various characters are well drawn. It is not a one-actor show in which the incidents are so put together that one artist receives all the glory, but rather a play where the whole cast receives an equal share of the work that goes to make up the play It appeals directly to the hearts of the audience and leaves a lasting impression behind it. Like mirror 1t fulfills to the letter the words of the poet Burns when he said:
 O. wad some pooe'r,
 The giftie gies,
 Tae see ourselves
 As ithers see us"
 The audience last night was greatly pleased with the play as a whole, and also with the faultless rendering it re- ceived at the hands of an excellent cast, among which are the following well-known stage fayorites; Arthur De- voy as the railroad man; William Stafford, his brother, as the clergyman; T. c. Hamilton, as the village black smith; George H. Sinclair, as Sam Sproude; Joseph F. Elardo, the editor; Charles Howard, the conductor; Miss Evelyn Faber, as Alice Rutherford and Alice Ashmore, and Baby Margery Wallace, as Bob the nameless child.
 The various scenes are striking and realistic. The hut on the point in the third act, with the attempted drowning and ultimate rescue of the. child; the New York express blocked in a snow blizzard in the fourth act, and the blacksmith shop in the first act were all reproductions of the master art of the scenic artist and were repeatedly ap- plauded. The applause all through the piece gave evidence of the fact that the play was one well worth seeing. It will be repeated this evening and to- morrow evening and at the matinee to- morrow.
