two years of age, has, according to

which the girls mind has passed.

accompanying attributes.

the transitions are over, and that the
young woman has resolved into a per

ENTERTAINMENTS.
New Haven Theatre.

Unusual interest with theatergoers is aroused in the announcement that ''The Hypocrites, with the original company after run of seven months at the Hudson theater. in New York, is to make brief tour, visiting some of the important cities Of the many sue cesses produced the present season this work of Henry Arthur Jones heads the list. It is play of intense human interest superbly acted by the best cast that even so great a manager of Charles Frohman was able to assemble, and the I play is one of the great dramatic pro- dUctions of the year. The action of The Hypocrits" takes place in the lit- tie old world provincial town of Wey- bury in the south of England; and moves from the boudoir at the Manor house in the first act to the living room at the curate's in the second, and from there to the library of the manor house which furnishes the settings for the third and fourth acts. Sketches of characteristic interiors representing athe scenes were prepared in England and were forwarded to New York whera they were exactly copied so as to give truthful presentation of the milieu of the play Though there are several comedy scenes and characters in 'The Hypocrites," the main interest is serious it's theme and story are wide ly different from any thing else Henry Arthur Jones has ever written, and it is by all odds the most successful play this author has ever presented. A line from the Pilgrims Script points the tendency of the play: "Expediency is mans wisdom; doing right Is Gods" The leading characters are. all associat- ed with the Church of England with the exception of a young drawing mis- tress who is suddenly brought into Weybury society-the curate the law yer. the doctor, the lord of the manor, a neighboring baronet, with their re- spective wives and families-this furn- ishes the main action of the play. The story is of the present time and oc- cupies about month in the autumn of a recent year. With the New York cast including Leslie Faber, Richard Bennett, Doris Keane, Jessie Millward. J. H. Barnes and John Glendenning and 8 score of others. Charles Fromhan will present 1.-The HyDocrites" at the New Haven theater tonight.
