of this exciting series Bertha is seen entering
the room where her master sits. She shows him
by despairing gestures that her efforts have been
empty OF results. She hands him a pocketbook;
there is no money in it Whereupon ne rises,
chokes her, filings her down on the floor hauls
her around by her hair, Chokes her some more,
and at last leaves her in corner for dead, ap
parently. However she IS not dead. and the
succeeding pictures are quite as exciting The
final one is called "Bertha's Revenge" In this
one he knocks her about again (this time in the
street. in front OF saoon). whereupOn she takes
revolver from her breast and shoots him. In
the vague hope that the little Yiddssh giri was
too naive to understand these pictures. the
reporter questioned her. Naive not. she knew
what II all meant. Some older companion had
enlightened her. possibly.

New Haven Theater.

Not for many seasons has a musical
comedy creation received such univer-
sal endorsement from critics as BUS
ter Brown" which comes to the New
Haven theater for one week, commence
ing next Monday night, with matinees
Wednesday and Saturday, direct from
a continuous run Of one hundred nights
at the Majestic theater in New York
and two hundred nights in Chicago. 1t
is said to be just what the anxious
public want and are expressing their
pleasure at every performance wher-
ever presented. 1t is conceded by the
most exacting critics to be the best
musical comedy presented in many a
| day, and many Of its enthusiastic
judges say that it is the best yet"
| The comedy abounds with many new
and catchy songs and Buster, endeavor-
| ing to get his mother in many compli-
Gated situations, which Keeps the audi
ence in a tunult of laughter and APP
plause. The comedy Is played in two
acts, with profusion of characters
which help to increase the many funny
situations. Clever 'show girls" in
beautiful costumes help to surround
the well-balanced cast to keep up the
| fun
The New York Herald has made
Richard Outcault's quaint conception Of
Buster Brown known to almost every
body, and now Buster Brown has been
dramatized and put upon the stage by
Melville B. Raymond, who has secured
the sole theatrical rights. Buster is an
appealing and amusing little fellow
with his dog Tige, and is the moving
spirit in a vast number of humorous
situations and side-spntting adven-
lures. These are set in a handsome
framework and adorned with large
chorus, a ballet and a group of Amer
lean beauties whom Redfern and Worth,
the noted Parasian modistes, have made
look like queens of society. The adj
vance sale Of seats opens on Thursday
morning.
