BIjOu Theater.

An enthusiastic audience gave its approval to the production of "Lord Chumley' at the Bijou. It is the third Belasco-DeMille play to be presented by the stock company, and gives promise of proving as entire suc- cessful as were "The Charity Ball" and "The Wafe." The piece is a pure con- edy of the high class type and contains no end of extremely amusing situa- tions and witty dialogues.
 Lawrence B. McGill proved extreme ly acceptable as Lord Chumley, The character of the rather stupidly ap- bearing English nobleman as interpre- ted by MT. McGill was artistic and showed the usual finish with which MT. McGdll presents his characters,
 Miss Shipman as Meg, the angel of the attic, proved herself a oomedienne of ability, and her work in the second act where she is introduced into the play, kept the audience in roars of laughter, Her conception of the part was so successful as ito place it on a level with the title role and the audi ence had opportunity to wish that 'Megn was oftener on the stage.
 Miss Edith Crolius captured the house. as Lady Adeline Baker, forty, fair and fat. An interpreter of come dy roles whose work is always sure to find a ready response from her audi ences, Miss Crolius has won an envia- ble reputation while with the stock, and her playing in Lord Chumley adds to her reputation.
 Dorothy Lamb as Eleanor Butter worth and Margaret Hagen as Jessie Dean were both received with favor Miss Lamb was particularly effective. Lucius Fairchild as Tommy Tucker" duplicated the success with which he played the burglar in "The Young Wife"

Her Farewell Appearance Made Last
 Night in Schiller's Mary Stuart"
 Lovers of the old classical blank verse tragedy in five acts, which Mar lowe improved and Shakespeare per- fected, and which has had more glorious past than any other form of dramatic art except Greek tragedy, have got to reconcile themselves to the fact that this species of playrighting | is passing out of existence Shake speare is the only one of the dozen great masters of this type of tragedy who can nowadays fill a theater
 Nothing else will explain the scanty audience which greeted Mme Modjeska last night at the Hyperion in Schillers Mary Stuart" The play was mas terpiece; the actress one of the first
 half dozen stars on the stage to-day; and her engagement the last appear ance she will ever make in New Ha-
 ven. Yet down stairs there was merely a mere fringe of people around the edges of the orchestra, while the bal cony was hardly much beetter filled.
 It was pity, for a better attraction than Modjeska in Mary Stuart" can hardly be booked at the Hyperion this winter. The play itself was full of tre- mendous situations, some of which, such as the meeting of the two queens in the park at Fatheringay, can hardly be surpassed in German literature;

Johnny and Emma Ray, extensively billed as "the blazing lights of laugh ter" will be seen at the New Haven Theatre for two days, starting Friday November 2, in their funniest offering Down the Pike" A company of fifty singers, dancers, comedians and hand some show girls will assist in this live ly musical satire. Of all the many characters that Mir. Ray has been seen in during his stage career. Casey the janitor in Down the Pike" offers an opportunity for an ideal role for the exploitation of his talents. The part gives him full scope for his laugh compelling ability. A company of fifty including a large chorus contingent of beautiful and graceful girls, will assist the Rays in the entertainment, and some beautiful scenic effects and cos- tunes are promised. There will be a matinee Saturday.

hlghly. Mime Modieska as Mary Ouee,sa or scots carried out her conception oA the part with ripened art and ma turlty of technique, which completely satisfied the exacting requirements of the role. She delivered her lines in thah peculiar carrying voice which cart only be learned on the continent. ana which imparts a peculiar timbre to the voice that carries the words of the speaker to the farthest parts of the mousse, even when delivered in a low tone. Mime. Modjeska spoke with a slight accent which gave an exotic touch to her past that was far from disagreeable.
 Her great scenes were the tneetfns With Elizabeth in Act III, and the death scene in Act V, where she pre- pare for execution. Both are scenes calculated to try the performers re- sources to the utmost, but Mime. Mod- JesKa rose to them easily, and her in- depreciation never faltered once. either in the great declamatory speech of de- nance to her rival or in her pitiful farewell to her ever faithful retainers Ihese scenes are the direct opposite of each other and one-sided artist could easily achieve positive triumph in one, while making an abject failure in the other. It is the greatest tribute one may pay to her Mme Modjeska to say that her art had scope enough to satisfy the requirements of both in every particular.
 or the supporting company, by far the best was Margaret Bucklin Sas Elizabeth Her work was thoroughly competent, and merited much more att tention than it received.
