PROVIDENCE, R. l., Sept. 2e.-Pas-
sengers on the Rocky Point cars were
surprised Sunday to find that they could
not use transfers to and from that line
especially as in some cases they had
used transfers in the morning on the
outward trip and were refused them on
the return trip in the afternoon. The fact
appeared to be that even the conductors
were uncertain as to the terms of the
new rule extending transfer privileges in
the district trayersed by the Rocky Point
cars.

declared to be the locomotive scene in
1.-THE Great Question" the big Paris
success founded upon Tolstops famous
novel Anna Karenina, which is to be
seen here at the Hyperion Friday and
Saturday with Virginia Harmed in the
title role of the heroine. The realism
of this scene is said to be such that the
audience apparently sees train of one
locomotive and eight coaches dashlng
at full speed across the stage. and the
suicide of Anna Karenna under the
wheels Is one of the most thrilling IL
luslons yet attempted in this kind of
sensational representation. The gem
eral dramatic stage manager of the
Shuberts, Mr.. j. G. Huffman, who went
to Paris to study the original mechan-
ism at the Theater Antoine, states that
1t is the most intricate and wonderful
device that he has ever seen and that it
will require decidedly heavy equip
men to reproduce it. 1t will be seen
by the playgoers of this city exactly
as it has thrilled the Paris audiences.

in the prison at Riga on April 10, when
thirty-three prisoners attacked and
overcame the superintendent and war
dens, necessitating the summoning OF
troops, who fired on the mutineers, kill

them, was the subject of an interpret
lation in the lower house of parliament

Deputy Ozel of Riga declared that he
had information to the effect that the
affair was deliberately arranged by the
prison authorities in order to dispose
of several prisoners who had been tor
tured in order to obtain confessions
from them, the torturing resulting in an
official investigation of the affair and
the commencement of proceedings
against the guilty personC. The deputy
insisted that the prisoners had made no
attempt to escape, as alleged by the
prison authorities at Riga.

Unusually large Monday audiences
yesterday witnessed at the Bijou thea
ter two splendid performances of Clyde
Fitchs thrilling historical drama
Nathan Hale" The production OF this
play can well be said to be one Of the
best things offered by the stock during
the present season, In setting and cos
tuning the play affords no room for
criticism and the work of the company
is all ths+ could be desired.
The story of the life Of Nathan Hale
is one that appeals to every school
child 1t is one of those heroic char
acters Of Revolutionary days which
once known are never forgotten and
which with Washington shares the
g1cry of that gallant and successful
struggle made for independence. The
play is true to the stoly and being such
cannot fail to interest.
Lawrence B. McGill is cast in the title
role Mr.. McGin has been seen in
many strong characters. His work in
1.-THE Christian" and Monte Cristo'
was splendid but it pales into insigni-
fioance when compared with his inter-
probation Of the role Of Nathan Hale in
the presentation of this week. Mt. Nc
Gill gives to that character those quail
tiles which are always associated to-
gether with the mention Of the name Of
a man such as Nathan Hale and In
his work yesterday he was forced to
respond to several curtain calls
The second in Importance only to the
title role is that of Alice Adams played
by Grace franklin Lynch. The char
acter Is a distinctly emotional one and
Miss Lynch played it superbly. Her
work showed an intense appreciation
of the various situations of tn eplay
particularly in the last act when she
parts WITH Hale forever.
In the work of the supporting COM
pany the leading character is taken by
William F. Garfield, who plays the part
of the hard hearted and vicious Guy
Fitzroy. 1t is not pleasant character
but it Is essential to the story and Can
field plays It well. He is well support
ed by Victor Browne in the character of
the dastardly Cunningham who heaps
insult after insult upon Hale
The stock company members are well
cast in the other roles, none of which
are particularly prominent. The scenic
effects secured in the various import
ant scenes are all good and the produc-
ton will doubtless receive most gener-
Gus patronage. On Thursday a large
number of members Of the Daughters
of the American Revolution will attend.
Yesterday afternoon thirty members of
the Women's Relief corps of the Union
Veterans Union witnessed the play

The Rogers Brothers announce that
they will present their most success
full, musical comedy 1.-THE Rogers
Brothers in Ireland at the Hyperion
tomorrow and Thursday evenings.
This is the comedy that ran for 200
nights in New York city and was

New Haven Thenter.
CHAUNCEY OLCOTT.

Chauneey Olcott will present at the
New Haven theater tonight his new
play, Ellen Ashore, by Theodore Burt
Sayre, with which he has just won
decided triumph in New York. So
great was his success at the New York
theater that he could have remained
there for six months but for existing
contracts like the one in this city which
necessltated his presence elsewhere. 1t
Is his intention to return to New York
and resume there the most prosperous
run of his career as soon as his pres
ent tour, which extends but few
weeks longer, is concluded. There was
not a single dramatic critic in blaise
New York who could find any words
except those OF praise to bestow upon
Mr.. Olcott and his new Offering. In
deed, it was declared that Mr.. Olcott
has at last come into his own ana that
there is permanent place for him up
on Broadway with his engaging art
and his high-class Irish dramas. Eileen
Asthere is something of a departure
from the conventional romantic drama
dealing with the history of Erin's Isle.
It tells a heart story without the re-
cital of any political history, without
flint-hearted landlords and narrowing
evictions. The dramatlst has taken us
back one hundred years for his theme
to the times of Robert Emmett, when
Ireland was oyerrun with police spies,
and has introduced to us a rollicklng
young chap with a light heart and a
devil-may-care air, one Richard Tenn
pie, who is one of the merriest habi-
tues of the ale-houses and gambling
pits of Dublin. Temple has been hav-
ing a fine fling of it. He has spent his
own fortune upon his boon companions
with loose-handed prodigality, and has
been chastised by his father, who new
er had any too much love for him, by
having his name erased from the eld-
er's will
