ELLEN TERRY.

Charles Froham will present Ellen Terry at the New Haven theater on Friday night this week, in Captain Brassbound's Conversion" Like all Shaw plays it has aroused wide dis cussion among the critics because of its unconventionality of construction, but unlike nearly all Shaw plays, it arouses no adverse discussion, because of its approach to forbidden topics. In- deed, in this respect it seems that Shaw wrote it largely for the purpose of showing that he could write play that so far as morality was concerned might be produced in Sunday school, and it Is now classed by him ais one of his Three Plays for Puritans." Of course it is replete with Shavlan satire, bril- liant and scathing sarcasm, which has for it's foibles, not the relations of the sexes, but rather the injustice of Eng fish courts, and the frequently absurd conduct of English tourists, who seek diversion by visiting uncivlized parts of the world.
 The story of the play is not a com plicated one. Its interests lies in the manner of it's telling very largely, and the play itself is best appreciated as vehicle for Ellen Terry in which to bring her charming wares to market. Lady Cicleyl is described by Shaw as woman who might be anywhere be- tween thirty and forty years of age, who seems to regard herself as a sort of nurse and protector for all hu- man kind, and more especially the low ly in wealth and position. It is by her unconventional womanhood, broad charity and fearlessness of consequence that she captures and makes subject to her wishes and directions an entire band of brigands, largely made up of the rapscallions of London, whose ten- ancy of that town is no longer pos- sible, and who are assembled upon the west coast of Africa with Captain Brassobound as their chief. There is adventure in the play closely approach ing the melodramatic: but 1t Is made subordinate by the cleverness of Shaw; its brilliant flashes of wit and satire and his absolutely new method of ex- tricating his characters ~2om difficul- ties. TOhe sale of sears opens this morning.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
New Haven Theater.

There was a large audience at the New Haven theater last night to see Human Hearts" The play is ingen- iously constructed, and the lover of plain, lucid dramatic fiction cannot fail to detect in it, qualities which they are sure to admire. There is enough dra- matic material in Human Hearts, for half dozen dramas. Each of its lead ing characters combines enough def1- nite traits to equip whole community of people. Yet it's intricate, ramifying interests are pieced and dovetailed to- gether with extraordinary technical skill. They are all plausible and they work out logically in the end.
 Tie performance will be given again to-day matinee and night.

"BRowN OF HAYWARD" "
Henry Woodruff in Second New Haven
 Visit tt Hyperion.

Visit tt Hyperion.
 Henry Woorruff, in Brown of Har- yard" returned to New Haven for one performance last night at the Hyperion theater. A few weeks ago he came with the feeling of soldier invading an enemy's country A Harvard play in Yale community was just bit risky. Contrary to his expectation, he was made more of here at New Haven than anywhere else in the country. His return last night was repetition of that former reception. The house was filled and the audience gave every evidence of its approval.
 Brown of Harvard is not merely a college play. Certain details of college life-the boat race, for instance -and the general atmosphere of the college are put on very effectively. But the ideas which make the play might be set anywhere. Tom Brown of Harvard might be Tom Brown of anywhere. His nobility of character, his clever ness, his self-sacrifice for the weak brother of the girl he loves, and his final victory, make the play interest," ing, aside from any clannish college life and custom. It is a play to appeal to people It is not, after all, a Har- yard play.

 The defense in the murder case of Custode DiLucia and Angelo DiLucia was interrupted in the superior court yesterday morning while the state put on another witness by request of the court. Objection was made to this pro- cedure by Judge Blydenburgh and At torney Brooks for the DiLucias, and they took an exception was the objec- tion was overruled The witness was Salvatore Imperati, a photographer, who had taken several pictures near the scene of the box shop murder of January 19 when Raffaele Petrone lost his life His testimony was of an in- cidental order but was lengthy and he occupied the stand most of the morning.
 When court adjourned for recess Josephine DiLucia, daughter of Ange- 10, the accused man, was upon the stand testifying to save the lives of her father and brother She was near the scene of the tragedy, and the story which was elicted on direct examin- Iation sets at rest any doubt as to what defense will be made by the prisoners.
 Her story agrees with those of other witnesses for the defense and she maintains that the one who shot Pe- trone was Luciana, her other brother, who is at large.
