MILDRED HOLLAND.

Whats in a name? Maybe nothing, but there's the sound of romance in the title "A Paradise of Lies, Mildred Hollands new play, in which she will appear at the New Haven theater to- night, "A Paradise of Lies" written by Matthew Barry, gives Miss Holland great opportunity for heavy emotional acting,
 The drama is laid at the end of the eighteenth century in Italy, a favorite ground of Miss Hollands for dramatic productions. The story is told in pro- logue and three acts, and concerns Lo- lita, the child of the lily pond. The English Count of Kenmore has left his wife and infant at Marco, Italy. The wife dies, and his nephew places the infant Lolita among the lilies of the pond, expecting she will drown. Old Father Antoni, music master, res cues the child, and she grows to younN girlhood, to lose her heart to a stroll ing player-a veritable Romeo. Her foster father had composed an opera which has been stolen from him by an old pupil, none other than Richard, the nephew of the Count of Kenmore. Richard has persuaded Isabella, the girl he deceived and tilted, into marry ing his uncle, principally because she knows of his attempt ito drown the child, which both believe to have been successful. Lolita, after the death of her foster father, joins Pablo and his band of players, and so comes to be seen and recognized by her father, just as Brunetta, a wanton gypsy dancing girl, in love with Pablo, destroys Io- lita's paradise of love, which she now calls paradise of lies.
 Two years later, Isabella the count ess, is a maniac and Lolita is about to wed Richard, now earl of Kenmore. She learns by chance that 1t was he who stole the opera from her foster fa- ther, and she denounces him and takes back her player lover.
 The production is sumptuously stag ed, and Miss Holland is supported by an excellent cast

NOTES FROM HARTFORD.
WORK OF STATE LEGISLATURE
 COMMITTEES.

| Appropriation Committee to Visit Some State nstitutions--WOman's Relief Corps Requests State Grant--COnsid-
 eration of Shell Fish Interests--In-
 surnnce Committees Work com-
 pIeted.
 The committee on appropriations will visit the Insane hospital at Norwich and the State Normal school at Willim- l antic on Wednesday of next week.
 All opposition to the bonding of the Connecticut river bridge district was withdrawn this afternoon by the towns of East Hartford, Glastonbudy, South Windsor and Manchester on agreement that none of these towns will be held responsible for the payment of the bonds, the sum involved being $500,OO0. Hartford will shoulder this obligation.
 Mrs. Elizabeth H. Bevin of East Hampton, past president of the Wom- ans Relief corps, has requested of Sem ator McGovern, chairman of the ap- propriations committee, that an op- portunity may be given soon for hearing on the appropriation that Is needed by the state corps In conduct- ing its work. The annual convention of the corps will be held May g, and Mrs. Bevin is desirous that the hear ing should be held in advance of this meeting, and the report made by the committee concerning the appropria- ton. The State Woman's Relief corps is doing work of great value, ana the appropriation of state funds in it's behalf is a course that can not be ob- jected to by anyone having the inter ests of the old soldier at heart.
 The committee on fisheries and game, Senator Briggs, chairman, will devote next week to the consideration of bills relating to shell fish interests. There art twenty-six of these bills, which have come in from the Shore line ! towns. They cover a wide range of 1 interests and the hearings, which will begin Wednesday will be attended by many representatives of the shellfish l industry in the state. Senator Walsh, as chairman of the judiciary commit- l tees outlined an adverse pollcy tnls morning in regard to the consideration of sea walls Several bills of this kind will be reported unfavorably and rejected by the senate. There is con siderable opposition, 1t appears, to sea l wall projects, and the present general | assembly will be cautious in authorlz- ing them Senator Walsh has begun the opposition with a full knowledge of public opinion in the matter, and will 1 have the support of most of the Shore line towns. Past general assemblies have been lenient in passing sea-wall bills, generally giving them the right of way.
 The insurance committee, Senator Blakeslee of New Haven, chairman, has finished Us work and will have no hearings in future unless some unex- pected issue comes up. Senator Blakes- lees committee is the first one to get through with the session work.

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN 1.-THE
 SNOW MAN"

It will be of interest to those who saw and liked '@The Snow Man" on it's previous visit here, to know that to- night an important change will be made. The part of the Snow Man" which was formerly speaking part, has been made a pantomimic one, and is to be played by Mir. Fred Walton, England's greatest pantomime artist, who scored so phenomenal a success last season as the Toy Soldier in Babes in the Wood" The possibili- ties of the part treated in this way are almost limitless and MT. Walton can be | counted on to make the most of every opportunity. Willie Edouin whose sue cess as Max Hooker was so pronounced on, their previous visit, is still with the | company, and making tremendous hit nightly. There have been some other changes in the cast, aha with the re- vision of the play well concluded, 'The Snow Man" can easily lay claim to the distinction of being one of the big gest and best musical attractions oi l the season.

 '7The White Chysanthemum' comes to the New Haven theater on Saturday, matinee and night. There has been Q large advance sale.
 The Springfield Union says of the production in that city on Wednesday night
 Among the singers is Van Rensselaer, Wheeler, whose high baritone always gives pleasure. His best number Is You Can't Please Everybody Always" Lawrence Grossmith, who is quite at home in the impersonation of chappie boys, had a clever ditty in the first act in which he puzzled over the prob- lem of how to propose, and in the last act he had an opportunity to dance in his usual graceful style. Mir Gros- smith, in fact, quite carried off the honors as most of the fun of the piece fell to him, and he was fully equal to the task imposed upon him. A consid- erable proportion of the family talent as comedian of ability seems to have fallen to him.
 Edna Wallace Hopper had three dit ties which she rendered in the manner which has won for her the favor of the patrons of musical plays "A Hint" was cleverly sung Mrs. Hopper wore several fetching costumes and played the part of a coquettish widow with full appreciation of it's requirements Coralie Blythe had to carry the burden 
 young woman of undoubted charms of face and figure.
 Henry Donnelley, who is in the vet eran class, was called upon to do con siderable clustering as the admiral and was not overburdened. Dave Lew is, with a Lewis Mann dialect, got con- siderable fun out of the part of a chauffeur, and his racy song q Don't Think I Ought to Auto" was one of the most popular songs of the evening. Edward Garvie played the part of the Chinese valet on broad comedy lines
 The chorus was few in numbers but had considerable singing ability The operetta was picturesquely staged, the last set making a beautiful stage pie ture.
