 One of the few romantic comedies to be produced this season will be given at the New Haven theater next Friday evening" when Charles Dillingham; pre- sents KyrIe Bellaw, the popular roman- tic actor, in new play and extraor- dinarily successful, by Arthur Conan Doyle, entitled "Brigadier Gerard" (by arrangement with Charles Frohman). Among the supporting company may be mentioned Ida Conquest Elsie Fer guson, Frank Connor, Henry Harmon, Guy Nichols, A. G. Poulton, etc. Every body is familiar with the authors book, Adventures of Gerard" and Of course Etienne Gerard is the same sWaggerlhg captain in the play as in the book but the incidents in the former are orlglnal with the author and not founded on any of the adventures recorded in the book. Mr. Be1lew's admirers will be gratified to hear that Gerard possesses the same love of adventure that characterlzed hls Rallies.
 The play is full of a fine spirit. of dash and charm, and while it's environ ment would suggest that politics and war played prominent parts in It, Brig adler Gerard" is said to be more play of sentiment and wit.

nIion Thentcr.

| Clyde Fitch's popular play, The Cow boy and the Lady" opened its weeks s run at the Bijou to enthusiastic houses at two performances yesterday. The 1 piece is eminently fitted to be a mirth lprovoker, and 1t was greatly appreci- ated by the audiences which witnessed the first two productions. The Stock company early in the season presented "The Climbers" by the same author and the present play promises to out shine it's predecessor in popularity
 The piece is presented by the Stock company in a characteristically com pete manner. The staging is good, and the costuming all that could be de- sired, The work of Lawrence B. Me Gill as Quick Foot Jim,' was the fea- ture of the performance MT. McGill has given to the character distinct Individuality. It is played in a highly effective manner that brings out it's dramatic possibilities to the utmost, Particularly is this true in the last act, in which he shoots the woman he is in love with, and then confesses to the murder of George Weston.
 Gertrude Shipman was seen in the role of Mrs. Weston and was good as usual. Dorothy Lamb as Mollie Lar kins and Edith Crolius as Miss Prissims were called upon to do some character work, which was highly effective and well done.
 Miss Hagen as Midge Tanner was ex- tremely fascinating In her western cos tune Her acting was good and she seemedthe natural object at which three husky cowboys should aim their af- fections. G. w. Casey, Guy Maynard and Frank Wallace, as the cowboys in love with Midge, displayed a truly west ern gait, and lookeda true importation from the land of the wild and woody.
 The piece is to be given throughout the week, and the usual souvenir mat inees will be given Friday and Satur- daV

Alice Ramsey and Rudolph De Cor doYa, as collaborating authors, and Le- ander De Cordova, as producer, of The Shadow Behind the Throne" and the creator of its title role, have won a Greater New York recognition which should attract a large attendance at the New Haven theater next Thursday night The play in question is an en- thralling appeal at once to common sense, to that intelligent appreciation which is the property of all classes, to the broad human love of humor, to the universal desire for the thrilling, noble and picturesque, and is so true to the embodiment of the ruling passions that 1t not only irresistibly appeals to every body, but strikes straight home to the heroic and tender in every heart. The American legation at Pekin, China, is so galantly held against a horde of Yellow Peril fanatics that the audience is often carried away by enthusiasm to
