jou Theater Stock company. This play will be rememb bered by theater goers as a piece that during its init ial presentation created a furore of excitement and no end of discus sion.
 The play as it will be presented by the Biiou company calls for the full strength of the stock and the com pany will be augmented for the of fering in order to present the piece in it's entirety.
 The original production of the play saw such well known people in the cast as Henry E. Dixey. Mrs Madge Carr Cooke. Amelia Bingham. Wilton Laekaye and Joseph Holland The remainder of the original company was made up of players almost equally as well known.
 The leading role of the play which is indeed the title role. will be played by Miss Gertrude Shipman. Mir. Lawrence S. McGill whose entire at tention the past two weeks has been given up to staging Carmen" and The Middlenan," will again be seen in the cast
 MT McGill will play the character of Hiram Jenkins. This part calls for character study that when done well presents a strong bit of acting and careful appreciation of the dra- matie possibilities of the character and the scenes.
 Miss Shipman will be seen as Kat i inka. Jenkins daughter, a music hall l singer. Mir. Anderson will play the part of "Brinker." AIr. King that of i Erie Hargreaves'' and the balance of i the company has been cast in congen- i ial supporting roles.

A high pressure musical comedy of vastly massive proportions must in deed be The Hotest Coon in Dixie" ter Thursday. Friday Saturday nights March 26, z and 2s. with matinee Saturday and already the indications give reason to anticipate a perfect ovation for this attraction of para mount melody interest
 It is now pretty well conceded that the truly enviable reputation achieved hN The Hottest Coon in Dixie" is mainly due to its enticing features of rapturons song, as rendered by as fine and big a band of sensational vocal ists as ever came under our banner.
 Acting upon the foundation of fav- or accorded the music department of the unqualified musical comedy hit. the management has this season per- mitted even wider scope for the in- terpolations of tuneful surprises. and some of the s0ngs and incidental re- frains are said to approach a genuine innovation, with absolute fairness. The comedy element. which has all ways been so famously provided for by Harry Reid and an able corps of nirth instigators, is kept well to the fore in the rejuvinaton of this splen- didly arranged entertainment of fun and music and the most positive as- surance is offered that the large con tingent of feminine beauty, ranging from hev5 Of dusky maidens to a bunch of creole divinities comprises only such candidates for perfection of l face and form as are iashued with rare vocal accomplishments and have natural aptitude for active stge de- ] pertinent

AT N. H. THEA1ER
Texas, a Comedy Drama, Big Opening Bill at This House
 Next Week.

Texas" a comedy, will return to the New Haven theater for three nights and Wednesday matinee. com mencing on Monday night, March 23. The play has been a success in New York and the larger cities of this country the past two seasons. In a criticism by Walter Scott of the As sociated Press in which he praised Texas" he says
 We have referred to Texas sev- eral times during the past few weeks because it is certainly the best produc- ton which has put in an appearance in this town in many a day. and the New Workers have witnessed the play, which has charm that not even 'Ari- zona' or The Nirginian can ever equal We have tried in vain to de- termine what there is about Texas which makes everybody want to go to see it second time, Ex-Governor Ashley of Ohio. once said that there was only one theatrical production that he had ever cared to see more than once. and that was The Old Homestead,a He confessed to having seen this famous production more than twenty times. and he added that he hoped to live to see it a hundred times. In q similar manner there is something about Texas which draws one back to sec it again in spite of al It i, tl, +i,,cr which played so prominent a part in The Old Homestead, though Texans who have seen this production at the l4th street theater assert that the scenery is perfect in every detail
 We are of the opinion that critic al analysis of the entire production would show that the charm lies chief ly in the lines of the play itself. In The Nirginian' there is only one great line: I am Of the west and must do It's work In Texas there are 90 many phasas so exquisite and so tell ing that t is impossible to particular ize. To generaliae, however we will say that in cur opinion the beauty of Texas arises from the fact that Mrs. Feigl, the author of the play, has taken in to the field the same beauties of phrasing, the same high class work which Bret IIarte carried into his Cal lfornia tales. High class work pays in more ways than enc, The general public may be slow to appreciate work of this character. but in the long run --in the end, high class work tells. In fact, it is the only kind of work which is permanent and lasting.

ANNA HELD COMING
Appears Two Nights at the Fly,
 perion in "The Parisian |. Model. !"

Harry B. Smith, he who can turn out llbretto while you wait, wrote the book of "The Parisian Model'' in which Anna Held will be seen at the Hyperion theater Monday and Tues day evening. March 23 and 24, and he states that neither he nor Max i Hoffman, the composer. made any changes until after the first night performance. We simply sat in front teaches us more than five years of dress rehearsals," he says. We noted the applause, saw what points told. We noted what did not seem to go. Jotted these things down and profited accordingly. The ideas our audiences gave us were legion.
 For an audience is study in it. self. It differs, not only in different cities. but in the same cities on dif- ferent nights It depends largely on what it has had to eat and the weather.
 For instance. an umbrella audience is the very worst that ever travelled by tdD UI lICifcA u NulIs d tolllpdIly ul actors into fits of nervousness. It's raining, you see. and everyone who comes has braved the elements to see g show. It's wet and uncomfort- able audience, and is in bad humor. It seems to think that having come out doors on beastly night the amount of pleasure it gets from the theater should be in proportion to the discomforts, experiences in getting to the playhouse. Consequently it's a captious crowd and hard to pull, and being damp and wet. it's not only captious, but bad humored And that's what makes an umbrella au-

CHAMBER CONCERT Adamowski Trio Closes This Seasons Series at the
 University. MIME. szuMoWsKA FINE Her Work Best of the Three and the Great Feature of the Program
 Rendered.
MIME. szUMoWsKA FIN

The season of Yale university cham Der concerts closed last night with the performance of the Adamowski trio. The program included Mozart. trio in flat major, Sonata in + major for violin and piano by Grieg and Gretch- aninoff's trio In minor
 Why is concert by the Adamok- ski trio always sure to be interesting?
 Because Mime. Szumowska plays the plano.
 Her work In the trio is a revelation of spiritual refinement, psychological precision and the tenderest regard for her CO., players Not as much can be said of the other two members, in decd. her work makes theirs seem very crude at times. AS trio player she has perfected her work to such a de- gree that she easily stands as "the first lady of the land.'
 The most satisfactory part of the program was the second movement of Grieg's sonata There Mir Adam owski rose to the occasion and real ly gave a first class interpretation of that much abused composer. In the first and third movements, however, he joined the much too many
 It is strange that man with such clear, strong and characteristic ideas as Grieg should be fully understood by so few, and still more strange that some men should get such firm hold on some of his ideas and then utterly fail to grasp the others. What can be the explanation? Surely nothing but lack of painstaking study.
 Gretehaninoff is a Russian but his music does not betray his nationality. The composition is well knit and CO., hesive and shows that the composer i is the master of his material even # the result at times is not entirely 1 pleasing. The lento contains some very beautiful thoughts worked out in nasterly manner, but it would be rash to pronounce the composition great" at this carly day
 The audience was rather small but extremely enthusiastic 1PSE.

''The Right of Way"
"Quien Sabe ?'

''Quien Sabe ,"
 The eternal question of the Mexican priest has its place in history with that still more famous question of the Roman governor of Judea two thou sand years ago. And before that men were asking and they have been ask ing it ever since.
 "Who knows?" There is no thinking man but has asked himself that ques- tion more than once. How many have found the answer?
 All men are seekers: the eternal question f1aunts Itself in the face of humanity. It enthralls and fascinates every one of us: and some it tortures even as It tortured Charley Steele in Sir Gilbert Parker's intensely interest ing story of The Right of Way" which Klaw & Erlanger will present at the Hyperion Wednesday and Thursday. March p and 26.
 The story has a deep interest for the public because it paints the life of French Canadian village-the life lived by the inhabitants not so many years ago, and in its main essentials the life they live to-day
 The two great scenes of the play are the interior of the Cote Dorion on the banks of the St Lawrence, and the interior of hut on the Nendome mountain. The esnecialls' powerful company engaged includes many we'll known favorites Among the most prominent are Guy Standing.
