His Last Dollar what a wealth of thought and romance one can 'conjure from its mention many man has been down to it. In the field of frenzied finance it has been risked and lost and with it has gone energy, hope and ambition, and on the fate of if many a great fortune of to, day is based. It is the latter cheery side of the situation that Messrs Da- vid Higgins and Baldwin c Cooke have chosen to show in their drama. The story of the play deals with the threatened financial eclipse of a young kentuckian, who has got into the clutches of the gentle citizens of Wall street. who endeavor to take over his money and give him in exchange ripe experience. He differs and a vigorous row is the result. An auditor witness ing this play cannot but feel that Joe, the Kentuckian, is right and his situa ation for a few hours is quite stren- uous enough to satisfy the most exact ing. The story is told in five consise acts, and some side lights are thrown on two generally interesting subjects, Wall street speculation and horse rac- ing, and tells how a mans losses in one are saved through his winnings in the other.

Large achievements nowadays in stage production are the essential fea- lures of success. The Hired Girls Millions" which comes to the New Ha- ven theater Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday nights. March 9, 10 and Il, with matGlea Wednesday. is one of these. The lavish outlay by the man. agement for new stage effects either electrical or scenic-the unlimited fig ure placed upon the orchestral service, so long as the best is obtained-the extravagant expenditure for costuming and properties to cater to the serried palate of the up-to-date public, shows that vast strides have been made in recent years in the elevation of the stage in the public eye The intrepid manager who now exploits a bit of "newism" for a metropolitan public must not lose a trick in the game, and among the newest and best of musical comedy productions, "The Hired Girls Millions" will easily take blue ribbon honors.

Something About Rose Stahl.

Not since Henrietta Crosman's sen- sational trump in Mistress Nell" when she won in one night recogni- ton from New York critics as worthy place in tho front rank of American stars. has an actress scored a similar success until Rose Stahl appeared on September 1st. at the Savoy theatre in James Forbes comedy. "The Chorus Lady" Like Miss Crosman she was practically unknown to Broadway. To-day she is recognized as come
 dcnne of unique capacity for in the words of an eminent critic she pos sesses "a gift not often found in pres ent-day actresses: the gift that makes her akin to Joseph Jefferson. Sol smith Russell and Nat Goodwin That felicitous ability to alternate. to al- ternate. to almost merge comedy and pathcs-'the tear behind the laugh.
 Immediately previous to her present appearance at the head of her own company under the managerial guid- ance of Henry B. Harris. Miss Stahl, had won at the Palace theater in Lon don. a repetition of the success sine had enjoyed in Anerica's vaudeville thea ters where she had been presenting for three years. MT. Forbs' one act come dy of stage life "The Chorus Lady" Englands distinguished dramatic crit ics awarded her recognition never be- fore bestowed on an actress outside of the legitimate stage, the dean of their craft styling her "the Bernhardt of the Halls"
 Miss Stahl's beginnings were com paratively obscure. Educated in Montreal convent and a conspicuous participant in the miracle plays given there under the direction of the sis ters it was small wonder that on her graduation she found her way fo the stage. A novitiate in road productions was followed by three years en- gagement as leading woman at the Gi- rard Avenue theater in Philadelphia. Afterwards she filled similar positiops in resident companies in several West ern cities. Then came starring tours of which the most ambitions was in Janice Meredith" in which she sue ceeded Mary Malnering.
 Although Miss Stahl had always been identified with emotional roles as exemplified in the Bernhardt rep- ertoire, it was in MT. Forbes twenty minute vaudeville sketch that she dem onstrated the full resources of her ar tistic equipment. It was the nonular favor which greeted her in,nitah hle characterization of Patricia o'Rrien. the typical chorus girl of to-day and a figure new to contemporary drama that led Mr. Forbes to place the char acter in a new environment and to make her the central figure of a four act play.

CARMEN AT BIJOU.
Elaborate Preparations for the Production of Great Story
 Next Week. s

Carmen" the story of the passion ate, artful, flckle giysy girl. is to be the offering all of next week at the Bijou theater. Carmen" was suc- cessfully produced last season by the Bijou stock and so popular was 1t that in the recent voting contest it was chosen by patrons of this theater for another production.
 Director McGill has made elaborate preparation for this production. Not only will the entire stock company be addition to the company is neces- sary to properly cast and produce the play.
 The play follows closely the story of the original work of the author and does not differ materially from the opera of the same name AL though the character of Carmen is the central figure throughout the story, the other characters are so well developed that there is no sense of disproportion, and the effect of the whole is grand art work cunningly wrought.
 The story Is dated in 1920 and the scene is laid in Seville and its en- virons. The play Is produced in four acts. The first is square in Seville, the second Lillas Pastia's tavern, the rendezvous of band of smugglers; the third the smuggler's den in a wild mountain, pass and the fourth at the entrance to the bull fight ring in Se- vile.
 Miss Gertrude Shipman will of course play the title role. It is one of the best characters in which she has ever been seen. The dash and fire with which she endows her Carmen, her portrayal of the wild, wilful, fickle

NO ANTLRAcH.T Track LEGISLATION.

sutuents they would get such a hiding that they would be glad enough to return
and humby vote Tor the bills Governor Hughes called a special session with

fonder of the Governors measures than they had been, and all the indi-
cations point to the falure.of antt-racetraek legislation The admission of the

more vote at the regular session they had them in reserve and that they have
