"The Heart of SfaryIand D

The enthusiasm with which David Belasco's romantic and realistic play The Heart of Maryland" was receiv- ed upon the occasion of It's previous performance in this city Is a matter of pleasant record. The play is a rev. elation of dramatic genius, a rare ex- ample of stagecraft In construction
 and of fascinating picturesque beauty Tn the realism of it's scenic illustra- tions' These attributes were accentu- ated by the artistic and effective act Ing of the company. In every condi- ton of It's performance it was q reflex or reality not an imitation. There are very few such plays If there are any so perfect and so clearly hunan- " natural in their progress act by act or so coherent and absorbingly interesting in the story now before the public, or that have been hronpht forward within the past score of years. Plays again and again have been successful and held their nbnu- larity for a season because of sonne special scene, event or character, but they lack the vitality and flrmness or purpose in the construction, the delicate n1ingltng of pathos and hu- nor and sincerity in the portrayal of the grander of the passions that have made The Heart of Maryland" one of the foremost plays of the fin de siecle period. The snnouncement is made that The Heart of Marylandp will again be presented in this city on Tuesday and Wednesday with Wed nesday matinee, October 22, s23, by a. company which is said to be equal to any that has yet interpreted this cele- brated play and new scenic settings have been provided for this season.

COMING THRO' THE RYE" AT HYPERION THURSDAY
Friday Night Comes Dustin Farnum in 'The Ranger,
 by Augustus Thomas.

In all likelihood, vast audience will witness the performance of Coming Tro' the Rye" at the Hyperion Thurs day afternoon and night. It would be difficult 60 overesttmate the popularity of this production in this city. It was viewed by immense throngs last spring, and made an impression which will not soon be forgotten. This performance appeals strongly principally by reason of It's wholesomeness and It's clean cut, genuinely funny comedy. It is an admirable arrangement of cleverly de- vised situations and intensely funny dialogue, and the story is sufficiently coherent to hold the attention. There Is charming melody and rymth to the music which is for the most part, of the sort which keeps the feet moving and which Is caught up quickly and whistled and hummed for long time. The presenting company Is composed of many comedians and vocalists of de- cided ability, and a chorus and ballet numbering sixty or more bright, vi- vacious girls. It is announced that this seasons scenery and costumes are entirely new, and that several notable changes have been made in the cast. MT. Frank Labor who has achieved such marked success in the principal comedy role, still heads the organiza- ton. but there is new prima donna soprano who is said to possess a re- markable voice. She is Miss Eveleen Dunmore who has the distinction of having won first prize for vocalism in the National Conservatory of Music in New York. There Is also new "Bos- sic" the girl with the white horse, who is said to be unusually pretty and vi- vacious. Her name Is Dorothy Bren- ner, and the part has been written up" for her in order that she may have an opportunity to display her splendid abilities as soubrette. Many new and highly enjoyable musical features have been introduced in the piece, and Frank Labor has added to the comedy element several original scenes and in- cidents, all calculated to make prac- tically new entertainment without dis turblng those features of last seasons performance which stamped Coming Tro' the Rye" as one of the very best of American musical comedy offerings. The advance sale of seats opens Tues day.

Dunstin Farnum, Charles Frohman's New Star in sThe Rangero Friday.


 Charles Frohman. will present his new star, MT. Dustin Farnum, at the Hyperion Friday night in the big play by Augustus Thomas entitled 'The Ranger" MT. Farnum is an actor who became a great favorite with the American theatergoers through his ar- tistic portrayal of the principal roles in Arizona" another of MT. Thomas plays, and in 'sThe Virginian," in which he scored probably the greatest suc- cess of his theatrical career. It was chiefly due to MT. Farnum's portrayal of the title role in "The Virglnian" that prompted MT. Thomas to write for him the new American play, "The Ranger" Those who have had the pleasure of seeing the play during its successful engagement at Wallack' s theater, New York, freely declare that as Captain Esmond MT. Farnum has role admirably suited to his require ments as an actor. The character is one that calls for & wide range of emotion, it being an American char acter of a robust and romantic type. The hero is an honest, fearless, self sacrificing leader of men. He is one of the much misunderstood and oft times maligned Texas Rangers, q body of brave and resolute men who are constantly jeopardizing their lives in guarding the lives of others, and who are not. as some people suppose, wild and reckless set of border ruff1ans.
 Captain Esmend is in command of a company of Rangers whose business takes them into a little Mexican town called Gorda Loma, just across the river from Texas. Captain Esmond is in pursuit of a thief whom he exe- cutes when he is captured. On the heels of the summary execution oc- CUTS the strike of the Gorda Loma mines. It becomes necessary for the captain and his Rangers to take the mines under their protection, and at the same time safeguard an American mine owner named Osgood, his daugh- ter Dorothy and her friend, Ellen Aims ley. Miss Osgood and the Captain have been friends number of years, he pre-

WAS A "SEA QUAKE"
Late Disturbance Probably Between
 Hawaii and Mexico.


 Berkeley, Cal, Oct 1S.--Prof. A. M. Leuschner of the observatory of the University of California, announced yesterday that the center of the earth quake disturbance felt on the Pacific coast on Wednesday and probably the same as registered on the selsmograph at Washington, D. C., was about one thousand miles south of Berkeley in .midocean, probably between the Ha- waiian Islands and the south coast of Mexico. The shock is known to scl- entists as a sea-quake and Is usually followed by a tidal wave. Reports of the shock will probably be brought in by incoming ships.
 According to Prof. Leuschner the in- tensity of the seaquake. near it's center far exceeded that of the California, Kingston, Valparaiso, and Mexican earthquakes.

 Fols own Stock company at the Bi- jou VIII ofer all of next week Edward E. Kidder's great play, "Peaceful Val ley" This play is the one in vbic,, the late Sol Smith Russell scored one of his greatest successes and is known throughout the theatrical world as an extremely strong American drama. New England life has been nsad hv many a playwright for a strono ana touching story. In choosing New Eng land for the locale of Peaceful vay- ley" MT. Kidder has chosen a subieot that he was well versed in and tho re- sulk Is one of the best plays that has ever been seen on the American stage
 The character of TIossa Howe, played by Sol Smith Russell, is to be interpret ed by Richard Gordon, leading man of the stock and Miss Emma Bell, the new leading lady will be seen in the role of virgie Rand. These two char acters are brought together in the de- velopment of the plot and furnish two extremely interesting roles.
 Hosea Is the New England type of man who has to make His own way in the world and does so. He works at summer hotel to get money for his schooling but is compelled to leave be- cause of the insults of the guests at the place. Hoseas sister forms an un- fortunate acquaintance with man named Andrews, who afterwards tries to win virgie Rand.
 Hosea shows Rand in his true colors and although he is compelled to meet with the opposition of Virgie's father, makes his way in the world and as the story ends seems likely to make Virgie his wife
 The story is excellently brought out and there are some thrilling situations. The play will receive a special stag ing and has been carefully prepared l under the personal attention of Direc- tor Esmelton.
 Seats are now selling for the first few performances of next week.

There was another crowded house at the New Haven theater last night to see the popular young actor Joseph Santley in Billy the Kid" All the scenes of the play, which is a good, strong, we'll written melodrama, are laid in New Mexico, and the settings which are shown in the four acts are exceedingly handsome as well as typ ical of the localities which they repre- sent. The part of the hero, Billy, is said to fit young Santley most admir- ably and the story told by the play is very interesting one.
 The performance will be given again to-day, matinee and night.
