AT THE LOCAL THEATERS.
Hyperion Theater.

Nothing that has been produced in New Haven for years has aroused more pleasurable anticipation or been the cause of more favorable comment than Fascinating Flora" which is to be given its first performance on any stage at the Hyperion on Thursday evening. This is the play that New York is to have for it's summer attraction at the Casino. and Is expected to fully uphold all the traditions of this famous thea ter
 Casino shows. Casino companies and Casino girls have each come to be rec ognized as class by themselves and as representing a distinct type. "Fas- cinating Flora" Is no exception to this rule and those who like this sort of en- tertainment will find this just the sort of entertainment they like.
 Thomas W. Ross ("Checkers'') will bring his latest vehicle, "The Other Girl" to the Hyperion on Monday and Tuesday. The Other Girl" which is by Augustus Thomas, author of "Ari- zona, Alabama" "The Earl of Paw tucket," etc, is said to be the best comedy MT. Thomas has yet written. It deals with New York life and it's charaters include some society leaders, @ preacher, wealthy wall street oper- ator a newspaper reporter and fam ous prize fighter. The complications are many, the situations extremely odd, the slang of the pugilist up to date and the dialogue sparkling. The play enjoyed a run of six months at the Empire theater, New York The Messrs, Shubert, who are handling the destinies of MT. Ross. have supplied the actor with cast of players which. is supreme. The company includes, in addition to MT. Ross, Fully Marshall, William Redmund, William H. Took CT, Russ Whytel, Martin c. Brown, Frank Roberts. Ivy Troutman, Dallas Tyler, Ida Lewis, Ethel Brandon, Edna Irvine and others.

Bridal superstitions.

Perhaps there is no time of her life
when a woman is more ruled by super
stition than in the case of her bridal
attire, and nearly every girl makes a
point of carrying out the old dictum
to the letter by including in her dress
Something old, something new. some.
thing borrowed and something blue"
The latter is introduced in form of an
ornament and carefullyhidden. No bride
who hopes for a rosy future would. be-
sides, dream of trying on her wedding
gown in its completed form before the
marriage takes place, while in Ger.
many her superstitious scruples are
carried even further and the dress
maker invariably contrives to leave
some rnlmportant detail of the we'd
dig dress unfinished, in which state
1t has to be worn at the ceremony.

She replies: Somebody has stolen

The bridegroom redeems it for a

the company. If the bridegroom is
watchful, they steal her hat and
cloak, which he redeems in the same
way, and they have been known to
steal the bride, for which there must
be liberal pay. The event of the
evening is a good jig, in which a guest

conidentially:
