WOOLOEY HALL REFUSED.
TALE CORPORATION SAYS ASSO- GATED SOCIETIES CANNOT
 HAVE IT,

The Corporation Unanimously Decided
 That it is Inexpedient to Change the
 Rule Which Governs Use of the Hall.
 The following statement was made yesterday by the secretary of Yale uni versity in reply to an inquiry for in- formation regarding the request for the use of Woolsey hall by the Associated societies;
 The standing rule of the Yale cor poration with reference to the use of university buildings is as follows:
 "The treasurer, acting with the ad- vice and approval of the president, shall have charge of all matters relating to the material equipment of the univer- sity.
 "'The trustees shall determine the conditions under which the various buildings of the university may be used for meetings of oycers, students or the public; but Woolsey hall shall not be used for other than university pur- poses, except by request of the author ities of the state or city, and on pay ment of the expense involved in keep ing it open.
 '"The prudential committee at it's Oc- tober meeting appointed committee, consisting of the president and three New Haven members of the corpora tion, to consider this rule with refer enee to the possible use of the hall for meetings under the auspices of the As sociated Societies. This committee pre- sented to the corporation at its Noyem- Der meeting the following report, which was unanimously adopted:
 CD That 1t is inexpedient to change the rule regarding the use of Woolsey hall.
 "'(2) That series of meetings under the auspices of an association over which we have no control is not uni yersity purpose.
 70 That if, in the judgment of the president, it is expedient for the uni versity to invite given sueaker to ad- dress a meeting on a specified subject, to be held in Woolsey hall under uni versity auspices, this is no exception to the rule
 Tn view of the above votes, permis- sion to give the use of Woolsey hall for a series of meetings under the aus pices of the Associated Societies, or any other organization outside the univer- sity, no matter how worthy, is not pos sible.
 'If the president of the university wishes to invite some speaker for a specified public address on subject of general public interest under university auspices, either on a week day or Sun day, he is permitted to do so by the vote of the corporation.
 The university is anxious to do all in it's power to improve the ideals of citi- zenship, but it cannot allow itself to be placed in the position of being respon- sible for any meetings of a public char acter over which it has no control"

cREATORE.

The music heard at a Creatore con- cert possesses peculiar charms as inter- petrated by the Italian conductor, and centers the attention of the auditor to a remarkable degree. Seldom are mu- sic lovers privileged to listen to such vivid readings of the composers mas terpieces. Every one admits that the Creatore concerts are unique, and care ful students of music in every large American city listen to and study Sig nor Creatore in his masterly interpret ation and striking performance of the grandest works of the master music builders.
 The announced programme is pleas ing one and contains a number of the selections that made fame for the bandmaster on his first visits to this city.
 But one concert will be given, on Monday night, November 26, at the Fly perion.

New Hnven Thenter.

Charles Dillingham; will present the romantic actor, Kyrle Bellew. in new play by Arthur Conan Doyle, entitled "Brigadier Gerard" at the New Ha- ven theater tonight.
 So much in favorable way has been said and written about Conan Doyle's lively chronicle of "The Adventures of Brigadier Gerard" in book form that the author was moved to take some other incidents in the career of the dashing though hot-headed soldier from Gascony (that have not hitherto been recorded in the aforesaid chronicles) and present them 70 Gerard's admirers in the form of play The incidents dealt with refer to what happened be- tween Gerard, Napoleon and Talleyrand in the winter of 1874, when the French emperor was endeavoring to secure the return of certain state documents which Talleyrand Napoleon's crafty renegade yet still powerful minister. had secured for his own purposes, and which he was naturally very anxious to retain; and now Gerard found that he was a brilliant diplomat and match for the greatest statesman in France, absolute ly in spits of himself, this, however. with the material aid of the Comtesse de Roquelaure, whose love the gallant captain had won and requited.
 It will be seen from the foregoing that Conan Doyle has written a comedy of wit, logic and sentiment rather than a war play or a play of French politics. and so it is likely to prove, notwith- standing its environment.
 The comedy is in four acts and five scenes. Among the supporting com

 "The Cowboy and the Lady" playing at the Bijou this week, is regarded as one of the best things done by the stock this season. It is immensely popular with the Bijou audiences and is a clean cut comedy drama with large amount of romance.

uL TRAvAToRB AT THE HYPERION

La Scala's Production of Verdi's Mas
 terpiece Draws Large Audiences of
 Italians.
 companys production of I'll Travatore" at popular prices last night the Hype- rion seems to have attempted some thing it has seldom or never tried be- fore, and that is to interest a foreign element of theatergoers. Whether done consciously or not, the booking of Yer dis masterpiece brought out large number of Italians, who formed the bulk of the audience, and who followed the music with a sympathy and appre- ciation that were the highest incentives for the company to do their best be- fore their oountrymen.
 The plot of "Il Travatore" relates to the love affairs of Count di Lima, who is rejected by the Duchess Eleonora for @ wandering travatore or minstrel. named Fernando. The jealous count has Ferrando seized and put to death, when just after the execution of his sentence he learns from Azugena, an old gypsy, that the minstrel is his brother, stolen by her during his in- fancy in revenge upon his father. The opera ends with wild expression of unavailing grief on the part of the count. The parts of the various char acters were all well taken, MT. S. Nun ziato, the leading tenor, as the Count di Lima, heading the cast in a very competent manner Miss lNovelli, as the Duchess lFleonora, was excellent. B. C., Dante, as the gypsy queen gave sympathetic interpretation to that weird character, while A. Oteri, filled the part of Fernando very satisfactori- ly.
 The successful performance of ''Il Travatore" leads one to ask why fur ther bookings of productions that in- terest Italians would not be very prof itable to the house putting them on. With 10000 Italians living in and about New Haven, this city has the third largest Italian colony in the country, and the large number which turned out to see last nights opera at the lily perion shows that they would not be at all backward in patronizing shows which interest them. It is quite possi- ble that a theater exclusively for Ital- ians could be madeto pay in this city, but at any rate, occasional pieces cater ing to this element of New Haven's population would be no losing venture to any of the present theaters that might put them on.

Amount Covers Military Communication
 Tax Due the State,
 At the regular weekly meeting of the board of finance held last night the appropriation of s259OO to the state as the city's military communication tax was approved. The board approved the regular weekly payrolls and made a number of transfers, In the fire de- partment $1,OOO was transferred from the payroll account to the horseshoeing and repairs account, and In the depart ment of public works $25O was trans ferred to the account for the repairing of cobble buffers,
 The report printed in one of the even- ing papers last, night that the board had decided not to appropriate money for an incinersting plant this year is erroneous. The board has taken no vote on the matter, and Mayor Studley stated that no action would be taken this week. The board has not com pleted its work on the estimates and has not decided to lower the tax rate for next year.
