Judges Decide.

There were several decisions handed down yesterday by Judges Gager and Shumway of the superior court. Some of Judge Gager's decisions had been hanging fire for weeks. But he did not hand down the decision a great many people are waiting for and that is the one in which it shall be said whether the Bishops shall get more money for the property they own in State street, in the way of the Crown street ex- tension, than the bureau compensation have awarded them. The city fathers allowed them s44,0o0 and they want a few thousand dollars more.
 But Judge Gager did decide an in terestng city case. It is the case in which Annie Alderman is the plaintiff. She alleged that property she had bought in Silver street had cloud in it's title because a city sewer ran un- derneath the ground. Former Corpor- ation Counsel Daggett claimed that the city had q right to the sewer privileges and that the sewer had been there since 1881. The city contended that by an agreement if was to have connec. tion and the court holds that the city's agreement constituted a perpetual H. cense The case will probably be taker to the supreme court

FRANK SHORT ARRIVES.
From. Play Now Less Than a Week
 Distant-NIakeup of the Cast.

After four days of rehearsals in charge of T. Achelis, the president of the Dramatic association, the Yale ac- tors are now in charge of a professional coach. Mir. Frank Lea Short is again at the helm of the college dramatics, this time directing the preparations for the prom. play. which will be given at the Hyperion theater on Saturday af- ternoon and evening. Jan. lS "The Im- portance of Being Earnest" sub-titled "A trivial comedy for serious people, !" by Oscar Wilde is the play chosen. It is very light comedy of the same general type as those that have been so well given in past years by the Yale thespians and there is no doubt but that it will score q hit under the ex- pert guidance of Mir Short.
 The final makeup of the cast has just been announced. It consists of nine roles-seven of which will be talk en by experienced actors. So close was the competition that such able actors as F. P. Butler, the Lady Cas- tleiordan of last years "Amazons, n and H. Smith. known to New Haven ties as the Dame Quickly of Henry IV'' and Lord Tweenwages of "The | Amazons," were relegated to minol | roesl as servants. The two newcomer: are A. NJ. Hartwell and F. NJ. woolley both of whom are freshmen. The for. mer who makes up as a charming country lass, will appear as Cecily while the latter will appear as Lady Bracknell. an English society lady ,s part he fits to perfection.
 Those who attend this production will see Charles R. Hopkins, to whose won derful acting as the Bishop in "The Pretenders" was due much of the sue. cess of that play. In the prom. play Hopkins will again appear as lay man. but this time he is sure 10 cause | much merrirent while making love tt Miss Prism, a governess CT. l..

Both are ex- tremely well suited to the parts they will take in The Importance of Being Ernest" c.

Under Southern Skies"

People go to the theater to be en- tertained Gloomy plays, except in rare instances, are not favorably re- ceived. Audiences, especially women, like to have their feelings wrought up- on to a certain extent; they even en- NNan opportunity to shed few tears. But they also like to have the tears followed by laughter, they want the sun to come out between the clouds. Since East Lynne" there has proba- by not been a play produced which draws women to witness 1t in such crowds as does Lottie Blair Parker's drama of love among the blossoms Under Southern Skies" There is something about the beautiful stage settings. youthful, summery dresses, crowds of gay young folks. Halloween tricks; Jack-o-lantern dance and touching love scenes that enchant the voting, who are in the hey-day of their own pleasures. and fascinate their el- ders by carrying them back to their own merry days-sometimes they have been forgotten until suddenly brought to vivid remembrance by the life-iike scenes of Under Southern Skies All women love the play, and the men en- joy 1t, so it is not strange that it is now in it's seventh season. playing to larger audiences than ever before, the capacity of the theater being tested in every city fortunate enough to secure this remarkably successful drama

HYPERION.
Richard Bennett in ''Twentys Days in
 the Shade" Coming.

Richard Bennett, who will be seen at the Hyperion Thursday and Friday, January Is and II, in Twenty Days in the Shade" the new French farce which Charles Frohman has adapted for the American stage, is one of the most promising of the younger actors on the English speaking stage. In the past thre seasons MT. Bennett has appeared in series of most diversi- fled roles and in each has made pro found impression As the son of Ready Money Ryder in ''The Lion and the Mouse the fine artistic success he won in America was emphasized in London where he made the biggest hit of any American actor in years. Later he was seen in New York as the young scapegoat in 'The Hypocrites'' and still more recently in the role of the mili- tant curate in the same play. Tn each part he won the highest encomiums of the critics. Many actors always inn press their audiences as being the same in look, attitude and voice. With MT. Bennett the case is quite different. The public can always feel Sure that he will subordinate himself to the role that he is playing and be what all good actors should be, the character drawn by the author This is the secret of MT. Bennett's remarkable success and this is why his friends predict for him a future of fine artistic achievement
 In Twenty Days in the Shade" he has his first comedy role in some sea- sons and those who have followed his career and noted his versatility are confident that in the new Frohman farce he will eclipse all his former suc- cesses. The pace in Twenty Days in the Shade is furious one and Mir
 Bennett has vast opportunities for the display of his acknowledged talents.
