NEW HAVEN.
Russell Brothers Make Great Hit at
Opening.

A full house witnessed the Hired
Girls Millions last night at the New
Haven theater. The play Is a musical
comedy drama and just brims over
with mirth and laughter. Underlying
the comedy, however, there Is spicy
plot which gives a good background to
the drama. A young store girl, Jen-
ME Mccarthy. has been left large
fortune. Fate DEGREES, however, that
In the usual way. her fortune, like so
many others, brings with 1t many
troubles. A scheme Is planned at
once by the guardian appointed for
the girl whereby he, Raymond Strong,
a shyster lawyer, and his friend and
partner, Norman Cauley, manager of
the store In which little Jennie works.
shall obtain possession of the immense
fortune after getting rid of Jennie by
some underhand vilainy. Jennie has
two strong friends In the persons Of
two aunts, who manage to foil the
schemes and aid Jennie to secure her
riches, and what is better still, low
err, one who was true to her in her
poverty and is rewarded in her pros
perity
The intermingling Of comedy and
seriousness Is very clever and the
great success of the play is due to the
ability of the Russell brothers them
selves. Each of the brothers takes
four parts, and carries each off with
remarkable skill. The range of tech
niuue necessary may be seen In the
role of James Russell who took the
character of porter. German opera
