THE VOLUNTEER ORGANIST."
 Nothing as pleasing to all classes has so far this season been offered to theatergoens as "The Volunteer Organ ist," which comes to the New Haven theater as the Christmas attraction on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, next week. Its story is sweet one and is entirely different from the efforts hitherto put forth by any dramatist. The plot has much to do with the church and indeed one of the central characters is a broad minded, progressive minister who, not Withstanding his liberal ideas, does not fail to accomplish in his flock the end which he set out to attain. It has re- mained for William B. Gray to con strut a part for dominic that is ab- solutely faultless-so much so, in fact, that he is almost daily the recipient of communications from pastors who were charmed with the part of the stage preacher and the grand moral of the play, "The Volunteer Organist."
 The love story is most tender one and so enraptured does the spectator become that he almost finds himself rushing down the aisle to congratulate the young minister and Grace upon their betrothal.
