Eugene Jepson Coming.

Eugene Jepson and his company in George Ade's comedletta, .'The Mayor and the Manicure,' will headline the Poli bill next week. The plot of this little bit of fun was laid In Mayor Otis Milfords office and touched on the arrival of woman bent on blackmail- ing the son of the mayor. and using schoolboy letters as means to force cash settlement. The arrival of the son from college and his finding the manlcurist in the office of his father was a comicaI denouement, The de-
 mand of the woman for money and her attempts to foil investigation by cut ting the telephone wire made a nice little plot. which was spoiled by the craftiness of the father, who forced a confession from the manlcurist. The weakness of human. nature was strong ly exemplified when the father suc- eumbed to the wlles of the woman ana accepted an invitation to dinner.

"Sapho."

"Sapho" with Kathryn Purnell in the leading role, will be the unusually good offerings at the New Haven theater. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, January 2O 21 and 9. There will be a special matinee. Monday, and the regular matinee, Wednesday. The star may be new to patrons of this popular theater, but will doubtless be- come as big a favorite here as in other places where her talent and worth have brought her to the foremost rank of present day stage favorites. It has been said that the actress who could give an intelligent interpretation of the difficult role of "Sapho" with her various moods and tempers could be trusted with any role in modern drama. As Miss Purnell has been credited with possessing about all the emotions con- sistant with good acting. her "Sapho" will be looked forward to with great interest The version used is free from anything in the least offensive.
 When asked to name the four great est characters on the modern stage, an authority in the Morning Telegraph mentioned the following: Rallies, Peter Pan. Zaza and Sapho.

Grand Souvenir Matinee ard Reeep-
 tton to Miss Shipman.
 This afternoon at the Bijou theater there will be grand souvenir-recep- ton matinee. at which Miss Gertrude Shipman and those members of the BiJou Stock company who have played here before will meet their former friends. That Miss Shipman and oth- CTS Of the present company have many friends here is plainly evident from the enthusiastic welcome accorded them at each performance.
 Lady of Quality in which Miss Sh1pman is making the initial appear ence of her return engagement, is proving to be a splendid vehicle for the introduction of the series of plays in which she will be seen here. It is a costume play, elaborately staged and excellently acted. It is high-class drama, but the thread of heart inter- est of the story brings it home to any audience.
 Next week the second offering of Miss Shipman's engagement will be given It is to be the splendid play, In the Bishops Carriage" This is the first time this play has ever been presented here at popular prices. Seats now booking for next week.

YALE PROM PLAY.
Hard Work of Student Actors Will
 Bring Fine Result. {

Come on! Come on! You're not dead-you're alive! Show some life!". Such talk as. this is what MT Short has to give the Yale actors for about four hours day! After almost a week of his advice and comment. things are beginning to show the re- suits of his labor and there is no doubt but that those who attend either the matinee or the evening perform ance of Yales Prom play at the Fly perion tomorrow will be far from disappointed.
 Last night Alumni hall was a strange place. A stage was construct ed by hollow square of chairs, with spaces left to represent the doors Sitting at tea table, in reality one of the tables used at examinations surrounded by various pieces of fur niture, and flower pots Gall chairs |, were Tom Achelis and Rex peirce. They were busy with the lines of the first act of The Importance of Being Earnest" The butler entered with his tray containing the tea set. was given few words of advice by the audience tMr. Short) and left the stage" The next time his efforts were satisfactory. on to one side of the stage c. R. Hop kins, in his shirt sleeves and scarcely resembling minister. was busy talk ing to Riggs, attired in jersey. The rest of the cast were hard at work on their lessons while awaiting their cues.
 Such scene as this would give to the casual observer an, idea thai in- stead of finishedIplay, the Yale ac- tors would give pandemonium How ever, MT. Short says the members of the cast are doing great work, and he ought to know because he has always been able to foretell the way the fin- ished productions. of the Yale men would appear. Judging from the way he spoke last night, all New Havenites are sure to see an excellent show to- porrow, despite all the difficulties that the Yale men have had to surmount. The public sale of seats for both the matinee and evening performances of
 The Importance of Being Earnest" is now being held at the Hyperion box office The demand for seats hasthus Tar been heavy, especially fer the eve. ning performance, In view of this fact, 1t Is hoped there will he a, large attendance of New Havenites at the matinee.

HYPERION.
Twenty Days in the Shade" Makes big
 Hit.

Twenty Days in the Shade" Makes Big
 Hit.
 Twenty Days in the Shade made such a big hit with the audience at thel Hyperion last evening that they gave the cast curtain calls even after the conclusion of the piece. It is a good farce and for the first performance went off with remarkable snoothness When a few of the spots in the. second act have been frightened up the play should prove quite an attraction tol to those who are bent on having an evenings laugh.
 The idea of the farce is an old one namely the gay young husband who, in the company of his wife's best friend has had trouble with the police and been arrested. lie is sentenced to Twenty Days in the Shade" or jail. He pays friend to take his place keeping the entire matter away from his wife. Having kept in hiding for twenty days he comes to his home again only to be met by Shorty" an English crook, whom his friend has in vited to call at his. the real culprits house. Incidentally the judge who sen fenced the young husband falls in love with his mother-in-law and appears on the scene. Complications follow but in the end the husband succeeds in keep ing the truth from his wife through the leniency of the judge and the, con- fessing of his friend to the crime.
 The farce abounds in laugh provok- ing situations that follow in rapid suc- cession and except for one or two spots In the first part of the second act Is | bright. The hit of the evening was made by Dellas Welford in the role of shorty, an English cook just out of jail who has a most excellent cockney dialect and affection for his gal" Welford's make up was enough to pro- yoke laughter to say nothing of his act ing and he was blessed with niany of the best lines in the piece His acting so pleased the Yale contingent present that they cheered and demanded a speech from him.
 l Richard Bennett made an excellent Henri, the young husband He had by l far the most work to do and handled his lines and situations at all times in excellent fashion. Pauline Frederick 1 had the part of Colette, the wife. She was given very little opportunity in the part but did what there was for her to do very well and at all times looked attractive. Ernest Lswford and Charles Dickson took the roles Of lChantenella, an advocate with great self esteem. and Pomtruehe an old col lege chum of Henri's. The former was inclined at times to drop his manner as the advocate but was otherwise good, The other members of the cast did their share towards making the audience laugh
 If this Is all that the American the- ater goers want, Twenty Days in tho Shade will be a success It has the essentials that provoke mirth of the hal ha, kind, that makes the audience lean back and roar, It Is well staged and best of all has a hard working chorus with one man in it who is really funny.

NEW HAVEN.
"Under Southern Skies" Greeted by
 Thrilled Audience.

IDfllied Au01ence.
 Under Southern Skies" was pro duced last night before the largest au- dience the New Haven theater has seen this year.
 The play deals with girls sacrifice of herself 10 save the family name from disgrace Leila Crofton is that girl and Steve Danbeney Is the man who holds the family secret and com pels her to promise to marry him.
 Marion Hutchins as Leila crofton is star. and the audience knew 1t. Her emotional delineation and her naive charm of manner ensured her sue cess. Marguerite Lindsay portrayed the part of Stella Crofton, beliafs mother, with strong pathos, John T. Burke. as Major Edward Crofton, Le- Has father makes a good father, good southern gentleman, and finally a forgiving husband
 Colonel Robert Mayor and Colonel Paul Danbeney are typical southern colonels.
 But especial praise must be given the three leading negro characters, Uncle Joshaway and Aunt Doshey are ideal darkies, while Amer Lizer is awfully cute and popular with all the folks The negroes entertain. the au- dience with their popular plantation songs.
 The cast is good and well balanced containing no weak character and many that are especially strong. The 1 second act, with the birthday party, is full of contracts between deep emo- ton and the happy hearted mirth of young people. The play holds the au- dience in suspense to the last. It is one of the best shows that have ap- peared at the New Haven within the 1 last year. The theatergoing public oi New Haven should not fail to take ad- vantage of the opportunity afforded them of seeing an excellent play excel lently played. Under Southern Skies will remain at the New Haven for the rest of the week with a matine to- morrow,
