 Audience.
 Miss Julia Marlowe and Rosalind are a combination still full of delights to the theater goer who is quite old lash toned enough to be moved to shed few furtive tears for Gangmede and the napkin dyed in her Orlando's blood. The Hyperion held goodly sized audience last night to welcome back to New Haven the enchanting Miss Marlowe, who chose to begin her engagement of two nights here with one of her earliest successes. There are not many actresses on our stage to-day who can do Rosalind. Of all Shakespearean characters none is so elusive so poetic. so thoroughly cre- ature of the emotions as is this volat- ile heroine of "As You Like It"
 There is no one to-day whom one can place side by side in the role with Miss Marlowe Perhaps Maud Adams-she has the poetic spark that needs must be instinctive before an actress can be successful with all enchanting" Ros- alind, "Rosalind as elusive as Sum- mercloud." Miss Adams is soon to do the part in Sanders theater at Har- ward and we shall see. It Is some, thing more than the sense of rythm. this poetic spark that Miss Marlowe brings to the scanning of the lines in ''As You Like It"-a something that can no more be analysed than can the mart of Rosalind itself. An actor has it, this indefnable poetic instinct that makes Shakespeare's verse music to the ear, as he hasn't. The critic only feels that it is there. He Is as power less to analyze 1t as something exist ing, as the actor or actress is incapa ble of being taught it, or even acqulr- ing it with years of routine.
 So Miss MarIowes Rosallnd has tears In it as well as laughter. Her Rosalind Is not as remote creature as most Shakespeare characters are in the hands of even the skilled actors and actresses of our stage. She makes Rosalind a living breathing woman and her sorrows in the forest are very real sorrows indeed else there would be no tears for Gangmede and Orlan- dos bloody napkin.
 It Is quite eight years since we have had Miss Marlowe as Rosalind. It is a fair. girlish, buoyant Rosalind, full of Irresistible grace, and the years of rou- tine have added to her beautiful art She has at her command all the craft of her calling.
 The orlando was MT. Frederick Lewis, and this excellent young actor ], ,r,tS.. ..tt ( 1a+ fresh realization of It's meaning. The writer cannot remember having heard a better Orlando, for the role Is gen craly played in such fashion that one thinks of it usually as peg upon which to hang Rosalind's wit and ca price.
 The sound of his voice was good to hear, with It's rich resonance, and his lines were spoken with delightful unc- tion.
 MT. Phil Brady was the melancholy Jacques, and his impersonation was one of the genuine pleasures of the produc- ton. A very generous round of ap- plause followed his delivery of the Seven Ages" speech, applause as spon- taneous and genuine as 1t was deserv- ed. Ills voice Is impressive and elo- quent and he spoke the familiar lines with simplicity that made them seem new
 MT. w. H. Crompton played the small part of Adam, and it was pleasant to hear his well modulated voice and cul- tured diction. It was generally a capa- ble cast that assisted. Special refer ence to Ben Field as "Touchstone" and Miss Alice Harrington as Celia" Is also made here, as the work of both was most satisfactory and added very con sideraby to the production and the young tenor who sang the songs at the Forest of Arden supper deserves more than this passing word of commenda- tion
 MT. David Belasco was an interested spectator last night, and saw the per- formance from a box.
 Tonight Miss Marlowe will play Gloria" a new three-act comedy by James B. Pagan.
 "The SQuaw Man."
 The bad man of fiction is usually considered an impossible creature and is alleged to rank along with the pie turesque but illogical cow-punchers that grace the pages of the monthly magazines. AS matter of fact 1t is generally conceded that the bad man is non-existant. and that he has passed from our western life along with many other features that were symbolic of primitive conditions. In "The Squaw Man" however, the play
