Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-10-06

Hackett will present for the :'ist time in this city "Thc Walls of Jsri- cho," a play which dramatic essay ists in both the daily prints and mag azines have loudly proclaimed as the best drama of years. It was written by Alfred Sutro, an Engishman, and until its acceptance and production some two years ago.. though not un- known in the world of letters, Mir Sutro occupied no conspicuous place as a dramatist. The great success, however. that came to "The Walls of Jericho" easily established his repu- tation and to-day he stands equal with his brilliant Contemporaries, Pinero, Shaw, Jones. Grundy and Barrie. 'The Walls of Jericho" in its four acts is scathing but true commentary on London fashionable life. Prices are 25. 60. 75, sl and S1.50. Telephone 10S4. No free list. Seats are now on sale.

It is in three acts and deals with a Mir Hopkinson. an ordinary mortal. who inherits fortune and endeayors to buy his way into society. He finds an entrance easily enough because of his mazuma and his actions while in the swell soiree" are indeed funny. The role of Hopkinson portrayed bv Dallas Welforl was well handled.
