GOOD PLAY; POOR COMPANY.
Cast in "Leah Ileshna" Fails to Real
 ize Dramatic Possibilities.


 Leah Kleschna," an intensely dram atic story of a thief in which Mrs. Fiske has played with remarkable sue cess, was presented before a small aud- fence at the Hyperion theater last ev- ening Possibly the size of the house dampened the ardor of the members of the cast for at no time did any of them rise to the dramatic possibilities that exist throughout the entire drama.
 Leah Kleschna" is the story of a woman who has been reared and lived as a thief. Her father, who has been her teacher, plans to burglarize the house of Paul Sylvaine," whose pic- ture Leah has fallen in love with. The girl enters Sylvaine's home and is sur family jewels. There follows an in tensely interesting scene, in which are great dramatic possibilities, during which Sylvaine pleads with her to mend her ways and then allows her to go. There follows the theft of the jew els by "Rosoul Berton," brother of the girl to whom Sylvaine is betrothed. The ldSl two dClS diG gwen up u llic parting of Leah with her father be- | fore starting on a better life and Syl- vaine's arrival to take her from the woods in the fields of Austria to his home. Throughout the entire piece runs a series of situations that might be made powerfully dramatic.
 Belle Bohn as Leah" made anything but satisfactory character, her emo> tional acting, except for the closing of the fourth act, being most common place. The best acting was done by | Charles Balsar in the role of Paul Syl- yaine, but even he was not able to keep up with the possibilities of the part Robert B. Kagends as "Rasul l Berton," should be credited with fair piece of work in the fourth act when to escape detectives who are following him he has come to the home of the Kleschnas. As a whole, however, the work of the cast wag that of only a lair second grade company.
 The scene in the Lettuce Field in the ] ast act was excellently staged. It is | Q be regretted that New Haven thea ter-goers were not able to see Leah ] Kleschna with first class company.

With it's wealth of intensely interest ing incidents, its laughter r-compelling comedy scenes and its powerful climax es, that greatest of all melodramas, 'The Blackmailers of New York" ol "The Girl Who Ran Away" in a new and elaborate scenic equipment comes to the New Haven theater for an en- gagement of three nights and Satur- day matinee, commencing tonight. No play of recent years so firmly estab- lished itself With the amusement-lov- Ing public as has this dramatic mas terpiece. The reason for this populari- ty Is easy to understand, when one re- members that the ordinary play which masquerades under the name of melo- drama, depends almost entirely for its success. on a single situation backed up by some more or less effective me- chanical device or scene setting, which is louldy heralded as a great "effect' while in tThe Blackmailers of New York" is as good as a trip to New York city.

Disby Bell.

Digby Bell, the eminent actor, who Is starring in James A. Hernes Shore Acres" playing at the Hyper ion Monday and Tuesday, September 30 and october 1, held a miniature art exhibit between the acts last night giving some friends a view of the wa ter-color sketches he paints so ex- quisitely.
 The ordinary theater dressing room looks like cell, or a storage place for wardrobe trunks. The dozen or so of pretty pictures covering the walls and standing about on trunks or makeup shelf, last night converted MT. Bells dressing room into a studio The sub jects are of many varieties, bits of Nantucket Island life predominating, but there are quiet landscapes, an im- posing cathedral, a storm at sea, a quaint girl of the Colonies, and an ul- tra-smart modern and they are all done with painstaking fidelity.
 MT. Bells rules are very simple. When he makes a sketch he tries to put in nothing but what he sees, and endeavors to omit nothing that will add to the truth of his picture. Some times he idealizes, working out sub ject in his own way but he finds he is better satisfied with himself when he paints from life. He is very fond of painting, and, except on matinee days
 is always to be found in his dressing room with his palette and brush.
 But can't initiate life on canvas and on the stage at the same time, said MT. Bell, as the stentorian voice of the stage manager was heard call ing the fourth act, and then he went on helped Helen Berry right the mis- understanding with her father, sent the children up stairs to bed, and everybody went out happy,

"when Knighthood Was in Flower 3

When Knighthood was in Flower has achieved a longevity on the stage seldom accorded dramatized novel. It's lasting success may in a measure be attributed to the charming actress es who have appeared as the willful and alluring Princess Mary Tudor" since Julia Marlowe brought to life this beautiful daughter of the Tudors. Probably the most signal success in the part has been won by Grace Mer- ritt, who will appear at the New Ha- ven theater, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights next week with matinee Wednesday.

VEGETABLES A FIGHTING DIET

G. B. Shaw, the playwright, in the
London Vegetarian, says:
Il regret to say that vegetarlanisn
is a fighting diet. Ninety-nine per
cent of the worlds fighting has been
done on farinaceous food. In Trafa1-
gar Square 1 found it impossible to
run away as fast as the meat-eaters
did Panic is a carnivorous speciality.
If the army We're fed on hardy,
healthy f1eshless diet, we should hear
no more of the disgust of our colored
troops, and of the Afridis and Fuzzy
wuzzies, at the cowardice of Tommy
Atkins. l am myself congenitaily
tin1id, but as a vegetarian / can gen
orally conceal ny tremors; whereas in
my unregenerate days, when 1 ate my
l was as patent a
coward as Peter the Great. The recent
spread of fire-eating fiction and lingo
war worship-a sort of thing that only
interests the pusillanimous-is due TO
the spread of meat-eating. Compare
the Tipperary peasant of the potatoes
and buttermilk day with the modern
gentleman who gorges himself with
butchered COW. The Tipperary man
never read bloody-minded novels, or
eheered patriotic music hall tableauX.

Cook spinach with stock eight minutes;

In the diet of the diabetic the carbon
hydrates are to be eliminated as far as
possible and the proteids and fats In
creased. The change in diet should be
gradual. since too sudden a reduction
of the carbohydrates might prove fatal.
The best fats are butter, cream, eggs,
cheese, olive oil. and the fat from ba-
con meat, and oily fish. One-fourth
pound of butter and one-half pint or
cream should be taken every day.
Green vegetables prove the most ef-
fcient butter carriers-spinach, cab
bage, asparagus, string beans, and
others. Cheese and olive oil form a
most important article in the dietary
and may be introduced without much
