CHINATOWN CHARLIE.

While there are but four acts neces- sary in the presentation of A. H. Woods new melodrama, Chinatown Charlie" no fewer than seventeen scenes are employed in the thrilling development of a plot reeking with crime and generosity infused with sen sation.
 Among the exciting incidents that encompass tale of trials, troubles and tribulations of young man wh after a life of shame and depravity, has found strength enough to lead him from the crooked path, none have at tracted more notice than the rtalistic raid upon a wman's pool room and gambling house, and the performance by a bevy of pretty girl acrobats who form living bridge over which the heroine who helps "Chinatwn Charlie" to be come a better man, crosses to safety.
 Several of the scenes relate to New York's iniquitous Chinatown and are given with rare fidelity, especially the Opium Den and Chop suey Restaurant where are congregated a variety of human specimens from the seamy side of life.
 The interior of Bowery Theatre of the free and easy class, "Rat Alley, " ''The Secret Chamber" An East Side Roof Garden" are also esteemed by the press as exceptional proof of the scene painters skill, while the less de- pressing pictures which afford capital view of Times Square and the new Ho- tel Astor are said to be marvellous achievements on canvas.
 A. H. Woods Chinatown Charlie, ' with all its wealth of scenic splendor and a cast of brilliancy will invite fa- vors at the New Haven Theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, January 21, p and 23, with matinee on Wednesday.

ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion Theater.

The New Haven Courier said of "Fantana" last year, February 20: Musical Comedy From New York
 Keeps Audience in an Uproar of
 Laughter.
 No one who saw "Fantana" last evening will require any further expla- nation of the plays popularity It was hilariously funny, with just enough of the romantic element to keep the sue cession of songs from becoming tire some. A better antidote for the wor- ries and strenuosity Americanly inclu- ded in the word "business" could hardly have been concocted.
 @"Fantana" displays throughout the practised hand of a stage-taught au- thor There is as much plot as is com mon tomusical comedies; perhaps even a trifle more, But the main thing is what dramatic writers call "business,' The scenes with the mage mirror were very funny.
 The play as a whole is of the type which "Flodora" made popular four years ago. The general arrangement | has becofe very common, and wildly popular and even through prophecies of the passing of the musical comedy have become very frequent in the past year, such plays as "Fantana" prove that 1t may be rejuvenated almost in definitely. Those who object to 1t on the ground that 1t is not art possibly do not remember the definition of Words worth that art in anything that makes one wiser better or happier. Happier "Fantana" must certainly make all who see it. 'Fantana" comes to the Hyperion tonight and tomorrow.
