all the way. running the first quarter

from start to finish, but passed the
judges only a head in advance of Naga-

''The Right of Way" to be Produced

A great love story is always appre- ciated by the American theater- goers. The Right of Way" by Sir Gilbert Parker. contains a theme as profound and touching as that of Damon and Pythias.
 The dramatization of this fine work by MT. Eugene w. Presbrey. the suc- cessful adapter of "Raffies," and pro- duced by Klaw & Erlanger, will be the attraction at the Hyperion tonight.
 Guy Standing and Theodore Roberts are specially featured by the manage ment in the respective roles of Char ley Steele" and Joe Portugais,' and their many fine impersonations need no commendation to local theatre-goers.
 MT. Guy Standing. in tho first act of the play, in his personality and stage method, Is complete realization of the cynical Charley Steele. In the follow ing acts he presents wonderful DOT trayal of the man without memory of himself, who has become exemplary in every way
 In the role of Joe Portugais, the mur- ierer saved from the gallows by the eloquence of Charley Steele, Theodore Roberts attains the greatest achieve ment of his career on the stage in character portrayal The coming of these actors to this city as joint stars will undoubtedly prove dramatic event, not only on accoun of their prominence, but also because Of the magnitude of the production and pub | lie interest in the play

NEW HAVEN.
"The Hottest Coon in Dixie" Good
 One.

A high pressure musical comedy of vastly massive proportions must indeed be The Hottest Coon in Dixie which opens at the New Haven theatre to- night for three nights and Saturday matinee and already the indications give reason to anticipate a perfect ovation for this attraction of para mount melody interest.
 | 1t is now pretty we'll conceded that the truly enviable reputation achieved | by "The Hottest Coon in Dixie. is mainly due to its enticing features of rapturous song, as rendered by as fine and big band of sensational vocal-
 sts as ever came under our banner. | Acting upon the foundation of favor accorded the music department of the unqualified musical comedy hit. the infringement has this season permit | ted even wider scope for the inter | polations of tuneful surprises, and some of the songs and incidental refrains are said to approach genuine innovation, with absolute fairness.
 The comedy element, which has al- ways been so famously provided for | by Harry Reid and an able corps Of mirth instigators, Is kept well to the fore in the rejuvenation of this splen- didiy arranged entertainment of fun and music, and the most positive as- surance is offered that the large con- | tingent of feminine beauty, ranging from bevy of dusky maidens to a bunch of creole divinities comprises on ly such candidates for perfection of face and form as are imbued with rare vocal accomplishments and have nat ural aptitude for active stage deport- ment.
