"His Last Dollar"

David Higgins will appear at the day and Saturday nights this week, with matinee Saturday, in the fifth edition of that popular racing drama and romance, His Last Dollar" which is now enjoying it's fifth successful season It is the story of the love of
 manly man and a womanly woman, well woven with bright comedy lines and mirthful situations. While David Higgins is a notable stellar feature in the company he by no means carries
 the entire burden of success for the incident of the brave Kentucky girl Eleanor Downs, who has brought her dearly loved horse east to race in the
 great futurity, is woven into the gem
 oral theme of this American play in a
 natural and skillful manner and the truer side, as well as better, of the
 racing drama well set in five acts is
 the result of the effort of MT. Higgins
 and his collaborator, Dr Cooke and
 the play promises a continued life of
 success and popularity A strong com pany will support MT. Higgins. includ- ing Mary Servoss, Emma Salvatore,

HYPERION.
Faversham in His Great Play "The Suuaw Man" Tomorrow Night.

Tn writing "The Squaw Man." the play whicheAnn for six months at wall ack's theater in New York, and played to over 30O.o00,o00 persons in that time, and which is to be seen at the Hyper ion tomorrow night, MT. Edwin Mill ton Royle, the author, went far afield for his characters, For his hero he travelled to England. and in the role of Captain James Wynnegate he shows US British army officer who through force of circumstances, and his great love for woman, accepted the stigma of crime and hid himself in the Great West in the guise of a rancher. Through the play run officers. clergy men, ladies of title. cow-punchers, h. dians and the ruck and tags of from tier town of twenty years ago. Yet the whole vast material is so artistically blended and collected that no false not is apparent at any point.
 Replete with human passion and emotion, Mir. Royle's play has every element that makes for greatness. It is clean, strong. human and satisfying in its every move and turn. There is . steady onward march to the plot that is almost of superior dignity, and there Is none of the melodramatic trickery of the modern school of the drama that exasperates the beholder with intervals of deferred interest.

NEW HAVEN.
"The Hired Girls Millions With
 Russell Brothers To-day.

Commencing tonight, the famous Russell Brothers" will begin three nights engagement at the New Haven theater, with matinee Wednesday. Who had not heard of those splendid actors and sweet singers, combining as they do all the essential qualities that go to make up all popular favor ties, James. for his inilnitable comedy of which he is peer, and John for his clever acting and sweet singing. They will present their latest play, musi- cal comedy drama entitled The Hired Girls Millions" from the facile pen of Charles F.. Blaney, an author whose reputation has preceded him. In this, his latest effort, he has shown the melt that he is capable of. While fur nishing the Russell Brothers the de- sired opportunity to display their tal- ents, he has not neglected to weave about the play love story of beautiful interest. AS before said this effort at play writing is his master one. A company of thirty surround the Rus sell Brothers, and they are all recog- nized artists of ability and reputa- tions and their portrayal of their indi- vidual roles as commented upon by the press. are as they should be in ev- cry respect. The production is given complete in all details and nothing has been left undone. The situations of the play are exciting and thrilling, which arouse the spectators to the highest pitch and they are entirely away from the conventional order of affairs that the play going public have become accustomed to. A story with a moral, no one should fail to witness, one for women, children and men, of all ages, denominations or color
