@ NEWS OF THE LOCAL THEATERS
MR. RYAN AT GRAND
Noted Actor for a Week in Rep ertoire-"The Deyil'
 and "Salome, ,"

Tho management of the Grand Opera House announces as the attraction all of next week at the Grand Opera House the special engagement of Mir, Daniel Ryan in specially selected list of plays including The Merchant of Venice" "salomo,' and "The Devil"
 The house management feels sure that in securing Mir, Ryan and select ins tho plays above named 1t Is offering to the thcater going public of this city attractions which cannot be surpassed at popular prices.
 Of Mir Ryan's work as "shylock' in "The Merchant of Venice" it Is need less 10 comment for 1t is too well known and appreciated by press and public In his production of "Salome' he plays the role of John the Baptist" This play is one of the strongest of ferings of the past season and when produced by a company of the calibre of the one which Mir. Ryan has with him it is placed on an equal footing with the Shakespearlan play he Is to give.
 This play of "Salome" should not be eonfounded with the many cheap imi- tations of the "salome" dance, It is a play through and through and has ney- or yet failed to interest and arouse comment among playgocrs.
 "The Devil" is an adaptation of Franz Molnar's great morality play and although differing in some respects from the versions used in New York city is extremely strong and combines many of the strongest points of the two best metropolitan productions,
 "Salomc" will be presented Monday, Tuesday evenings and Wednesday mat lnce; Wednesday evening "rhe Mer- chant of Venice" will be given and tho balance of the week "The Devil" will ha the offering with usual Saturday matinee. Seats now booking,

"The Devil" Robbed of the odors of the birthstone pit, His hoofs and horns and sting all laid aside As useless masgueradlng, only At To frighten children; laughing, glar- ing eyed. This new relentless. cynlc devil walks Along the glittering social ways of
 men, First, as the polished gentleman he
 talks, And leads his victims suavely on, and
 then Of sudden he the mastery assumes The iron mastery of remorseless fate Before the victims eyes tho vision

"The Gay Musician is Written in
 Julian Edwards Best Style.

"The Gay Musician" began It's three-performance engagement at the Hyperion theater last evening before c small audience. It deserved larg- CT house. Julian Edwards, the auth or of When Johnny Comes Marching Home in which the New Haven Crays made such a hit last spring, has written a charmingly tuneful lit- tie offering in "The Gay Musician" That quality, combined with a num- Der of capable principles and good looking chorus of girls, took the pro- duction long way on the highroad to success.
 The star of the piece was Amelia store, who played the part of Maude Granville, a prima donna. Miss Stone was nothing if not vivacious. She danced well and displayed q smile- t-wouldn't-come-o such as every comic opera "spot-lightcr" aspires to-

AT THE HYPERION
George Rroadhur9t's New Play, An International Marriage" With Gertrude Dalton
 and Digby Bell.

Two frayed collars that Prince dc Sagan, the second husband of Mme. Anna Gould, will soon receive from Bill" lngraham, laundrynan at the St. Regis hotel, form the basis o3 a story that makes "Bnl' feel proud says the N. r. Journal.
 After the first return of his laun- dry the prince roared like Numid- ian lion and said things
 Why were my collars brokon?" he asked.
 Because they were no good" re- sponded the head laundryman.
 "No good!" almost shrieked tho prince.
 "Why. they were made for me by my haberdasher in Paris, the best in all France"
 That's just where you made mistake" said Tngraham. Why don't you buy American collars2 They're the best In the world and will outlast two of your foreign collars"
 The prince cooled down and entered into an agreement to buy a new American-made collar and put @ new one of his foreign collars into the hands of the laundryman and that as a test they should be washed and 'roned again and again until they were no longer fit for wear He directed 10 his bankers at the end Of the test.
 Of the two collars sent to the prince yesterday the French collar went to pieces after twenty-flve times through the laundry and the American collar sixty-one times.
 An amusing sequel to this story is Sound in George Broadhurst's latest play "An International Marriage, :" which comes to tho Hyperion Monday and Tuesday with matinee Tuesday. November and 10.
 For, while Mir. Broadhurst is not Tashing the De Sagan linen, by a queer coincidence he made the leading American character in hls play 8 rlaundry king" Bennington Brent Inventor of an "unbreakahle wrnger," Rnd father of a romantic girl who Is wooed and almost won by Q foreign policeman, On first meeting the noble Bult0r, the practical papa says;
 ''T've certainly got to say that he books like fine piece of goods; now let's wait and see how he comes Through the wringer,"
 Being asked for an explanation of his peculiar phraseology, he says.

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
CAPTWATES KAISER
Countess Morosini, Of Italy,
Also Wins Favor Of j.
Pierpont Morgan.

Venice, Italy, Special: Who Is the
most beautiful, most fascinating wom-
an in Europe?
This comprehensive question would
be decided, according to all accounts,
by j. Pierpont Morgan and Emperor
William in favor Of that wonderful
Venetian, the Countess Morosini.
The emperor met this bewitching
italian three years ago In Venice, where
she lives in one of the ancient palaces
of the queen of the Adriatic belonging
to the Morosini family. Since then he
has met her more than once. When
he was passing through Venice this
spring on his way to Corfu he had the
countess with the royal party, pre-
ferably with himself, nearly all the
time.
The Venetians smiled to themselves
and said that the war lord was just
as susceptible as any other monarch
who made less pretenses about his
supreme mission. Indeed, the countess
seems to have a peculiar charm for
men of the blood and iron" type, So
called.
She is a fine Judge Of art and lest
year she was one of J.. p. Morgan's
party on the Corsair when he was in
search of works Of art around the
Italian coast.
The countess has a daughter, Moro
SIM Morosini, who is also very beau
tiful, and already engaged to a great
Italian a%ristocrat, Count Labia,
The countess made a great sensa-
ton in London two years ago, but
she does not are for the northern
climate. She is essentially a daughter
Of the sun, and loses some of her
beauty when taken from her natural
surroundings.

Wise and Otherwise,

Many Of us really work up to the
point of believing we are personally
honest until the assessor comes
around.
Some men who publicly preach the
doctrine of good cheer seldom smile at
the breakfast table.
Strange that persons who declare
their unbelief in God will always look
over their shoulder when passing a
cemetery in the night.
One d~isagreeable person a keep a
shadow over an entire household.
The way to make friends is to be
friendly. One seldom crosses the
street to shake hands with a. chronic
crouch.
