THE GREAT DIVIDE"
Henry Miller and Miss Anglin in
 MooIy's Play.

Henry Miller and Miss Angline in
 Moody's Play.
 William Vaughan Moody, teacher of English literature and poet. who has written many admirable poems and, in "The Masque of Judgment and "The Fire Bringer," lyric Hellenic dramas worth to stand beside "Prometheus Unbound" is certainly not cloistered in academia The play 'The Great Di- vide, at the Hyperion last evening, Is big in every way-a big motif and big characters.
 The most obvious thing is that it is which is not a melodrama, but of psy- chological depth; a play whose semi climaxes are the ring of mental steel on mental steel; not of gun-lulling. Whether or no this psychology is sound is rather deep question. It may be that real logical ending of the play would be for the man who represents the west in the 'great divide" between local characteristics, to realize that the girl who represents the east is not worthy of him; instead of finally rejoic- ing in her love, Furthermore the empty room motif, the glance which stands for dialogue is so much used that it makes the action slow. But all in all, 1t Is, again, big, in the final analysis.
 That Miss Anglin handles the emo tional, handkerchief-soaking scenes well, and that the play was well mounted, are matters of course. Tn his part of the westerner MT. Miller was as big as the play. The minor parts were realistic. Miss Crews Is delicious in that chic sort of femininity suggested by Polly" name of the part she play ed. Mrs Whiffin as Mrs. Jordan was wonderfully realistic.

Lynch, who sued Patrolman Landy for alleged rough treatment, advising them not to pay the claim for expenses presented by Landy, to the board. Lynch was successful in his suit against Officer Landy and secured judgment for about $75.
 Landys entire expenses at the trial amounted to over $500. He presented the bill to the police commissioners, but they decided that only the board of finance could take action. Patrolman Landy thinks that he should be reim- bursed, because he obeying the or ders of a superior officer when his trouble with Lynch arose. The diffi- culty began at a fire which occurred on Washington avenue on January 3, 1904. Officer Landy was ordered to es- tablish fire line at a certain place, and in pushing back the people Lynch was crowded Into snowbank.

 adds considerable interest to the senti-
 mental part of the crowd The scenery is excellent and all settings far above the average.

 Playing the Game" the newest of comedy productions this present season is full of solid humor. Cleveland Moffet and Hartley Davis have outdone them selves, and have written a comedy that is bound to last. Joseph and William w Jefferson, who will be remembered for their excellent performances in ''The Rivals" are both cast for parts especially written for them, and have had the commendation of the press and public wherever they have appeared, Ernest Albert, undoubtedly the best scenic artist in America, has turned out two very handsome scenes-one repre- senting the reading and writing room of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, and the other the studio of a we'll known artist in the Bryant Park studio building, both being exact reproductions of the original subjects and exact as to color scheme and minutest detail Will M. Post staged the play. Fifteen thousand dollars were expended on this produc- tion before the curtain rose on the ini- tial performance The younger Jeffer- sons schooled as they were by their late father, Joseph Jefferson, bid fair to become shining lights in the comedy field, and are rapidly climbing the lad der of fame. Playing the Game" will be the attraction at the Hyperion thea ter on Monday, September 17.
 The following well known artists will be in support of the Messrs. Jefferson: Blanche Bender, Ruby Bridges, Alex andra Phillips, Margaret Malcolm, An- na Bradley. Robert MacKay, Walter Pratt Lewis, John W. Dillon, John Keeler and others.

THE GREAT JEWEL MYSTERY, :"

THE GREAT JEWEL MYSTERY"
 Charles E. Blaney presents the Rus sell Bros. in the comedy drama which the author of Mark E, Swan calls '9The Great Jewel Mystery" and will be seen at the New Haven theater Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday nights next week and at the Wednesday matinee. The Russell brothers are clever and can impersonate the Irish slavey as no one else upon the stage can. In the new play they are known to be men which adds to the realism of their roles, but the circumstances of the story give them opportunity to do de- tective work and their feminine make up is simply wonderful disguise. or course, the audience will laugh they cannot help it, but the purpose is quite serious and the end comnendable, There are about twenty other players in the cast and the management aver that they are well selected. The pro- duction will be liberal and the play treated with every advantage. Seats TOW on sale.

not until a well directed shot from a

Kenyon is having rather a novel ex-
perience in securing a pension. In the
year 1880 he applied for one, but failed
to get it. About a year ago the agent
a. Washington through whom he had
applied, sent him some papers to
sign. They included inquiries as to
why he had ceased drawing his pen

that he had never been granted a pen
sion Further correspondence de-
veloped the fact that a man in Iowa,
claiming to be j. P. Kenyon, had
taken over Kenyon's ten-year army
record, had added his own subsequent
service in the army in 1895, and Sc
cured a pension of s24 a month This
he drew for some years and then he
stopped. The agent. in going through
the records. discovered these facts and
laid the matter before Senator Nc
