Patrons of the Lyceum who are in
 terested in the present wave of re- VlVals sweeping over the country and who have an interest in the plays that held attention a genera tlon ago will do we'll to secure their reservations for The Iron Master'' at an early date as this week promises tC be a busy one. There will be nine performances of the play. On Wednes- day night the theater has been let out to private enterprise thus limiting the number of evening performances of The Iron Master" to five. But there will be matinees Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The matinee on Friday is by special re- quest of number Of people,
 This week will also mark the final appearance in this city during the present season of J. Irving White, the popular character comedian of the Alfred Cross players. Friends of MT. White are prepared to give him royal send-off and it is expected that because this is MT. Whites last week here and New Britain theater- goers will not have the opportunity 10 see him for some time the seat sale will be extra ordinarily large.
 '"The Iron Master'' is a play in four acts taken from a French drama that was in vogue in Paris some thirty years ago. It was brought to this country by the Nendals The translation which will be used on the stage of the Lyceum is that made by J. V. Prichard the celebrated dra- matist and arranger of plays. Be- cause of the situations and settings the scenic artist and producer have ample chance to excel all previous at tempts this season. The opening scene is laid on the banks of the Seine and depicts the Chateau de Reulieu and home of Philippe Der play, the part to be played by Alfred Cross. Miss Julie Herne, the leading lady of the company, will be seen in the role of Claire, around whom all the action centers. J. Irving White will portray a wealthy Frenchman who is attempting to break past the outer guards of society. There are eighteen characters in this play, necessitating an augmented cast. To- morrow night patrons will be given autograph pictures of Miss Herne.
