Then too. besides voice temperament Miss Notkins is blessed with much personal charm and in her pretty peasant cos tune is a very charming little prima donna indeed All in all Miss Notkins will be a delightful surprise to her friends here when she makes her debut on Thursday night
 The other principals of the cast are all singers of much promise. Charles 4. O'Connell is one of the best tenors in this locality. and is besides an actor of much power. It will be remembered that with Miss Notkins and Mis-:

 The so-called bay boy" who isn't as bad as he might bet starts out to free Alice Cook, the daughter of the proprietor of the Mountain View ho- tel, from Percy. the son of Henry Har- rington, a railroad magnate. The bad boy is known as Chips" and while he is helping Alice he falls in love with Rosie, maid at the hotel.
 Chips has lot of friends besides the entire audience, and they are Ted dy bears-little ones and grown-up ones that help him quite materially. Alice and her lover Harry Clayton finally get started on their way at the close of the first act. The second act finds them still going with the new" policeman still on the trail to say nothing about the |constable and the magnate and his son Finally they are found in the Teddy Bears home In the woods, but Chips with the aid of two gleaming revolvers holds the pursuing party at bay and they escape once more.
 In the third act Percy is still true and putting in, but finally the Bad Boy again fixes things and this time it is final-Hsrry and Alice become man and wife
 There are many songs successfully sung during the play Tell Me Again" in the first act, and also When the Minstrels Come to Town" In the third act I'm Real Carnegie Hero" was the song hit.

TRIBUTE TO MIR. BRYAN.
His Personal Convictions Considered
 Valuable Party Asset.


 If there were eliminated from tho coming Democratic program and cam paign the contribution to it's humani- tarian uplift and the profound and unl f1inching sympathy with the feelings of the great masses of American peo- pie which Mir. Bryan would bring to 1t, the Democratic program and cam paign would both, in my opinion. end in defeat, if the Republicans should nominate--as it now seems they may "a statesman of the intellectual breadth and the power and patriotism of MT Taft or one enjoying so wide spread a personal confidence in this part of the country as does Governor Hughes l venture to add that the pur- ose which Democrats hereabout might wisely be asked to promote would be the choice to the Democratic convention at Denver of a delegation from New York of a high character really representing the whole of New York Democracy, and representing it in the very best, broadest, and most efficient manner.
 Doubtless in such delegation there would be men preferring some other candidate than MT Bryan, but, beyond doubt, there would be in it many who would prefer MT. Bryan to any other candidate I am confident that MT. Bryan desires the sincerest and best expression of all Democrats in all parts of the country No man has larger interest in procuring such an expression. And I am entirely con fident that when Democratic sentiment is fairly expressed. his decision will be inspired by love of his party and love of his country,-New York i Times

Arnold Daly Company Tonight in
 My Mamie Rose"

Considerable interest should be awakened in the new play that Arnold Daly is bringing to the Hyperion to- night, and which bears the title My Mamie Rose" MT Daly has made a wide departure from his Shaw offer lngs in this new vehicle, and has adopted totally different line of work The play is essentially one of the primal type and deals with phase of life that so far has seen but little ex- ploitation upon the stage. Associated with MT. Daly in this new enterprise are three players who will unques- tionably command attention. These are Holbrook Blinn, Chrystal Herne and Helen Ware. MT. Daly has given his personal attention to the staging and presentation of the new play, and while under the direction of Liebler Co. he is mainly responsible for the existence of the play itself, and has given his personal attention to every detail. This engagement may be look ed upon as one of the important events of the present season.

Jefferson in Rip Van Winkle.' '

Thomas Jefferson, a name which stands for all that is best in theatric- als, is the fifth generation of the fam ous Jefferson family of actors and the third to keep Rip Van Wrinkle" before the American public. His grandfather, Joseph Jefferson, first player it sixty-fve years ago, then his father, also Joseph Jefferson, ap- peared in it for over fifty years, and Thomas himself has been playing it for ten seasons. long as the name Jefferson is conn ,tad with the grand old romance of the Catskills, just so long will the public flock to see 1t. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but Rip Van Wrinkle" with out Jefferson would not be the great American classic that 1t is to-day.
 Thomas Jefferson will appear at the Hyperon Wednesday, January 2s, in Rip Van Winkle.'

Novelty is the kenote of the sensa- tional melodrama "A Race for Life" which will he the attraction of the New Haven theater on Thursday Fri day and Saturday nights this week and at the regular matinee Saturday. The novelty lies in its theme, which is certainly one of the most audacious ever attempted on the stage.
 The piece is handsomely staged and the climaxes are genuine thrillers. and presented by capable cast of players Another feature is the running of the race, showing the horse going to the post. the start and the finish. making it one of the most realistic ever shown.
