ENTERTAINMENTS
Hyperion Thenter.

THE SNOW MAN" TONIGHT.
 The female chorus of "The Snow Man" by stanislaus stange and Regi- nald de Koven of late in rehearsal at the Majestic theater New York city, under the personal direction of the au- thors and R. H. Burnside is of unusual interest in view of the fact that nearly all of its young women who have join ed the chorus ranks in this piece aspire to prima donna role or a singing part in grand opera. They have entered this chorus in order to develop their voices, which have undergone a thorough training by competent singing teachers, and to gain an experience which no training, however thorough, can give. They are students of music and have sufficient talent to justify the effort they are making. Consequently there will be no show girls, mere wall flow CTS in "The Snow Man." and each member of the chorus will take an ac- tive part in the ensembles. Many of these young women come from promi- nent families and will travel in the chorus under nom de plume They are not looking fir favorable mention until they realize their expectations.

CLOSING CoNcERT.

New Haven Oratorio Society Ends Sea-
 son Successfully.
 It was big undertaking to sing two such works as the German Requiem" of Johannes Brahms, and Mendelssohn's Hymn of Praise" in d single evening, but such was the task Prof. Parker gave the New Haven Oratorio society for it's closing concert of the season in Woolsey hall last night. Both compost tions demand much of the chorus in volume of tone and sustained effort for there is comparatively little solo work in either. Grip weather had thinned out the ranks of the singers and there were many vacant chairs, particularly on the tenor side, which was very weak. Those who were there, however, put in an extra effort, and sang with great tone volume This was particularly | true In the sixth number of the Re quiem," and the closing chorus of The Hymn of Praise Tn these passages the ensemble of chorus, orchestra and | full organ was almost overwhelming in | its power. There was almost too much power, and this is a criticism which might justly apply to the chorus work throughout the evening, There was not enough contrast between the numbers. q fault for which the Re quiem" itself was perhaps chiefly to blame, for vigor and massiyeness of tone is what Brahms called for One longs, however, for lighter moment occasionally after an hours buffeting of the ears.
 The soloists for the Requiem" were Mrs. Genevieve Clark-Wilson, soprano, and Claude Cunningham, baritone. | These two singers also appeared in the Hymn of Praise" and were supple mented by Mrs, Edith Chapman Gold, soprano, and Edward Johnson, tenor. All four filled their parts acceptably, The orchestra, reinforced in several im- portant parts by New York musicians played splendidly and Prof. Jepson laid. with the great organ, a solid dia- pason foundation for orchestra and chorus to stand on. The organ is a powerful ally in the great climaxes, just how powerful and important those who have become used to it fail to realize.
 The New Haven Oratorio society has ended its season successfully, it would seem, judging from the audience which attended the two performances, and to Prof. Horatio Parker. who more than any other man living is responsible for the society and it's work and progress should go the highest appreciation of the people of New Haven interested in good music. He has been doing a mag nifcent work for music in this city and state for the last decade. and the end Is not yet. All honor to Prof. Parker.

"LORD DORCHESTER, ]"
LAWRENCE D'ORSAK IN 4 NEW
 PLAY AT THE NEW HAVEN.

"SHn Sticking to the Nobility" He
 Remarks in Curtain Speech--The
 New Play Strong and Convincing.
 Lawrence D'Orsay, in Lord Doncas- ter" added another play to the already long list of first-rate attractions that have come to the New Haven theater this season. MT. DOrsay has played so long and so successfully the role of the English nobleman that one natur- ally expected great things in his new play of Lord Doncaster." At the end of the second act he was forced to re- spond to long applause in speech. He was still Lord Doncaster, and when he said, Me dea college chums, you see Tin still sticking to the nobility,. the thought at once followed that the nobility were fortunate. Mir. D'Orsays |noblemen are notable because they are, first of all, men and then noblemen. It is MT. D'Orsay's play straight through and he succeeds in the difficult task of having little to do and still Keeping himself and the play to the front. His stage presence Is so good that he has but to seat himself, to rise, to stride across the boards or to bump into the furniture; in any case, the audience feels that something is going on,
 The play takes It's character from the lord. It moves on with stately strides to very proper climax and then yields to a very sane, practical solution. The playwright hit upon good idea when he placed the play at the time of the marriage of the king of Spain in Madrid. The characters are partly Englishmen and partly Span iards. This gives an opportunity for very effective stage pictures.
 The story of Lord Doncaster is a bit intricate. Lord Doncaster is a "duffer" as he himself often admits. His lack of cleverness, When analysed, 1 is very good, solid sort of cleverness. Wishing to shield the woman he loves, he tells a lie, declares he stole letter, sacrificing entirely thereby his honor fact, the woman he loves needs not to be shielded; her married sister is the woman whom Lord Doncaster has saved But it is question of honor towards the sex with his lordship. He faces the strong chance of social ship wreck with the .stubbornness of a fine duffer. A confession by the married sister prevents calamity and brings to- gether the noble lord and his fair lady. i Besides MT. D'Orsay, Herbert Percy as the British ambassador at Madrid and Sydney Mather as Sir Regmond were both strong actors. Miss Joseph inc Drake as Betty Vaughn and Miss Mabel Roebuck as Lady Penarth, the sisters, had much to do and played throughout with unusual excellence.
