 excellent characterization blanded with tears, heart throbs and pure dramatic sunshine should visit the New Haven theater where the latest melodramatic gem Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak Mod el will have its initial production in this city beginning tonight for three nights and Saturday matinee. This is one of the few big successes of an eX- ceptionally glorious theatrical season. The play is under the direction of A. H. Woods the New York manager who controls and owns nearly two dozen shows and fine theaters. Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak Model'' is in four acts and fifteen scenes. It graphically DOT trays life in a great city as it is and as it always will be- Some Of the scenes shown are the interior of the Haymarket Dance hall, a New York landmark in full blast; midnight on the new Williamsburg bridge in a blind ing snowstorm; the interior of a big de- partment store; dressing room in a big theater with view of the stage and a roller skating masked carnival ir Madison Square Garden, There art ! three scenes in particular which easily would be the saving grace of any play
 The first occurs in the opening act and shows Nellie's rescue from being cut to pieces by a dashing trainSon tht tracks of the elevated railroad by hel lover Jack Carrol; another is her escape

Der of his most important productions, and has starred on her own account in a brilliant series of dramatic successes. As the barefooted artists model Tril- by, the victim of Svengali'9 hypnotic wiIes, she became the regular idol of New York.
 This triumph was quite distinct from her delicious high comedy as Drusilla in '"The Dancing Girl, while it was a heavy rolesh played as Clara Dexter in Sothern'sp resentation of "The Mais- ter of Woodbarrow.
 When Southern later produced Leo Ditrichstein's Uapolionic play "The Song of the Sword, she enacted a fierce blooded Italian girl who opposed her patriotic spirit against 3onapartes campaign in Italy.
 She was also the sensational Pauline Deschapelles to Southern's Claude Mel r1otte; Ophelia to his Hamlet, her only Shakesperean role as yet, although she has Rosalind in view for her next characterization; bewitching Lady Ur- sula in Anthony Hopes comedy O.

ROGERS BROTHERS IN IRELAND

Latest Itinerary of the Teuton Globe Trotters Holding Forth at the Fly

 "The Rogers Brothers in Ireland" with The Only Two and a hundred lsomebody-elses in the cast, are putting lup at the Hyperion for @ two-nights' stay, which was inaugurated last even ing very successfully before good- sized house that wasn't at all stingy with it's applause. The Rogers Broth CTS in Ireland" must be better than most of the Cooks tours that the Dutch club have taken lately, for it is the only one they have thought worth while to carry over for a second sea- son. It's the regular Rogers Brothers thing, of course-lots of jokes, a big bill of songs, and chorus that was bigger than the stage. As President Lincoln used to say, its just the thing that people like that like that sort of thing. '" But if you think of going to the show to get little sociological data on the Irish, or some material for thesis on | Ireland as an Economic Factor, Mad anne Fahy's Dream Book would be a more authoritative guide than the Rog- CTS boys. Still, the scenery looked a good deal like the souvenir postal cards.
 The song were numerous, num- bering My Irish Maid "Choo Choo Cars" so Different" and Mary Ca rev. most of which were naturally sung by the Rogers brotherhood, Miss Stanley and Miss De Voie, as they were the leading ladies and gentlemen. Miss Stanley must have been the premier leading lady, for she wore the most clothes, but Miss De Voie must also be considered, because she wore the least. They divided the company good looks between them, while the chorus rode in the caboose.
 Rogers Brothers in Ireland" will be seen again this evening at the Fly perion.
