Dudley, the Smart Set" began three nights and Wed- nesday matinee engagement at the New Haven theater last night The audience was large and appreciated the noun tains of fun served up in a very smart and entertaining manner by the entire Some sixty people ike prt in the performance, which is full of life, and go from the start of the first act until the curtain drops on the grand en- semhla at the end of the third act.
 "The Black Politician" is welded to the most tuneful music one would care to hear and embelIlshed with enough features to launch the most pretentious stage offering. The play is in three acts and deals with the excruciatingly funny efforts of an humble negro to break into the annals of noted politi- clans. S. H. Dudley, an old favorite, is the star, and as Hezekiah Doc Is vic- tim of circumstances, the tool of two scheming jokers, Walker Ties and Flos- sic Conn, relicts of a stranded bur lesque troupe, Walker and Conn, in or der to further their well laid plans to corral a large role of money so as to stave off probable starvation, use poor Hezekiah To quote a popular slang expression, Hezekiah makes good As a reward he receives the hand in marriage of Palora Boreland, the daughter of one of the rival candi- dates, with whom he has been in love for long time. The complications are side-splitting and interest is not al- lowed to lag even to the final curtain
 The songs are catchy, the music of the most tuneful kind, and the chorus is composed of splendid voices and the ballet is made up of beautiful girls The costumes are also handsome and the stage settings in keeping with the rest O fthe show. Popular prices prevail and crowded houses are sure to be present again tonight, Wednesday matinee and evening.

PURPLE FAD IN PARIS.
Brightest of Hues Find Favor in the
French Capital.

mention of purple is justified by
the fact that this color in the bright
est of hues seems a fad in Paris at
the moment There are entire cos
tunes of it, large hats and coats of it,
and everything about the toilette is
purple. 1t is as If the women of
fashion were royalty mourning for
something departed, as indeed they
are-"we are mourning the hasty de-
parture of a too-short summer" as
some one put it in one of the smart
ateliers the other afternoon.
There is nothing unusual about this
new vogue. however, for Paris often
goes mad over color, usually a diff
cult one; but then compilations and
hair do not matter in land that owns
the best parfarmeurs and coiffeurs in
the world.

In purple are stamped with motifs of
