New Haven Theater.

The comedy element is particularly strong in the new meodrama "On Dangerous Ground" from the clever pen of Fred Summerf1eld, which will be the attraction at the New Haven theater for three nights and Saturday matinee beginning Thursday, Decem- beg 27 The authors selection of com edy characters has been very happy in this thrilling picture of life in San Francisco The sister of the heroine, the soubrette part, is a dime novel reading young lady, who vows to never marry anyone but an ideal hero of the Nick Garter camp. Freddie Fripp, the innocent by who would like to make her his wife does all sorts of foolish things to meet her requirements of heroic accomplishment event to throw ing lad in the river and jumping aft CT him and saving his life, for which he is promptly arrested by a prosaic policeman. Rosy O'Grady is another laugh-provoking character. Rosy and her froth covered beer can, her Irish wit and contagious laughter appear in nearly every scene of the play. Fred dies final heroic act of sliding down a fireplace chimney into the luxuri- ously oriental apartments of Chang Wah, king of Friscos Chinatown, where the heroine is held prisoner, and turning the tables on the villainous Chink by twins his cue to a rope and having him hauled up the chimney by his hair finally wins for him the 1-ve of the soubrette. The play is filled with sensational situations and comedy is rife all the time. The scenic settings are most sumDtuous. The real story of the play has to do with the advan- lures of a young woman who leaves home when she learns that her brother keeps a saloon to earn a comfortable living for her and her sister In this there is a problem of every day life that teache- a wholesome lesson.

Teddy's Story,

I'm just little cinnamon bear, And these the clothes ma had me wear. l and my mates played hooky-see? They all joined in to come with me: Bears white and grizzly, blacks and
 browns,
 We've come out East to see the towns: To see how cubs with tender feet Their cousins from the Rockies greet. We're quite crowd-it's just this We couldn't sleep all night and day, Lying In leaves as if we're dead; But pa and ma have gone to bed. So here I am, with lots of chums, Expecting candy, cakes and plums. My name? 0 yes, I guess you know And how they came to call me so. Pa says that Teddy R, the Great" A hunting bears, once passed our gate. He didn't like to ask him in And this he said with a kinu O grin; But, when l came to want name, Pa said. Its Ted.,' Ma said the same. That white one? Yes-a kind of clown Hes one that Peary tried to drown! We thank our cousins in the East Already we've had many a feast: And many a "Howdy" hug and shake; Buildings and honey, pies and cake. And, too, we are nr longer "brutes,"--- You've rigged us out in dandy suits; !; With pants and galluses-how nice! They're on and off in just trice. Rough and tumble-who's afraid? They'll save the ones our mothers
 made.
 When we go back we'll wear these
 suits
 And make them stare-the sleepy brutes.
 Wouldn't it be great if this stuff wears, To take back some for girly bears More fancy things-for day or night? She who made these would fix it right. Our frolic out, why, off we'll go; Warm beds in leaves, with lots of snow! But my! our folksll be just stewin! I'm yours, most truly, Teddy Bruin. S. T. D

it might we'll be an American play for it is present tme and the story is one that would be equally funny told in any cline or country.
 The stock company has been eeen in many comedies that have been ex- ceedingly funny, but it is certain that in none do the humorous situations follow one after another With such rapidity as they do in this piece. Tt is laugr from start to finish.
 This is, by the way, the finst time the piece was every produced at pop ular prices, and it's excellent oroduc- tion rivals that of comedians playing it at top notch prices.
 The story is extremely funny An old couple seek to put a stop to the quarrels of a young couple by quarrel ing in the hope that the example 50 set will have it's effects Before the old couple finish their work real squab- ble is started between them and 1t takes the combined efforts of the rest of the cast to settle things amicably.
 Gertrude Shipman is superb as Ger trude West, the young wife who is ex- tremely sweet and bewitchingly pretty despite her imagined grievances which keea her at odds with her husband. Lawrence B. McGill is clever as the henaecked Oliver West, The comedy falls principally upon Frank Wallace and Edith Crolius as the old couple. Their endeavors to fight one minute and fight the next were laughter-pro- voking in the extreme and it is by far the best piece of work these two sop ular members of the company have done this season. ..
 Particularly good in the balance of the cast was Dorothy Lamb as Senora Arelina Gonzales. Margaret Hagin as Susan the maid and Lucius Fairchild as Pritchard, the butler. were exceD- tiorally good.
 As g. special feature this week the rnanagcment has secured little nine year-5ld Alice May Moriarity to sing between the acts. The little girl is an accomplished actress and her songs are very popular. Tickets for this aft ernoon will only be held until noon and for this evening until o'clock.

Some men are usually high flyers hard workers mentally, living under high pressure and high draught. and ii doesn't take a great deal to disorder the stomach or render the liver tor pid.
 They should make it a practice to use some tried and reliable remedy like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, that will aid Nature, and not force it, and will take care of the sudden attacks of acute indigestion.
 The use of these tablets is not to be confounded with the patent medicine habit. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a patent medicine, but are com posed of the very elements which na- ture provides the healthy stomach to do the work of digestion-pepsin. dias- tase, golden seal, etc. There is no se- cret in their preparation;-the are abundantly pure, and, therefore, all the world uses them.
 No matter how disordered the stom- ach may be, it will right itself if giv- en the chance. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets digest food where the stomach can't, give the abused stomach and in- testines a rest, and offer renewed strength to the worn out glands and muscles

Kinney, asking for public contributions with which to purchase -four and other appropriate food stuffs to be shipped by the Red Cross to China for the relief of the famine sufferers, Conditions in that country are lamentable and the most authentic reports announce that mill lions of people are on the verge of starvation.
 The Presidents proclamation deals more fully with the subjece. All con- trlbutions will be received by Mrs, Thomas Hooker, treasurer of the local Red Cross branch.
 At this season of the year, when charity is most freely exercised and the cry of humanity in need and dis tress most cheerfully needed, the Chinese sufferers should receive rapid and generous relief.
