Goodrich's work was thrillingly and majestically portrayed as only an artist could portray it.
 The plot based on incidents trans piring during the declining years of Cardinal Richelieu, is a rich tale of intrigue and counter intrigue during the reign of Louis XIII of France. How Richelieu, whose authority and influence at court are tottering on the brink, outwits his enemies, pro- tects his ward, Julie de Mortemar from the monarch and. with life ebbing. exposes the conspiracy to strip Louis of his throne, is a story not new but more interesting than ever in this version.
 Hampden's associates apparently have been chosen with meticulous concern for their devotion to the clas- sic drama Ernest Rowan is cast as Chevelier de Mauprat, second in inn portance only to Hampden's Riche- lieu. His work as the impetuous, reckless lover and husband of Julie is impeccabIe, heroic but devoid of heroics,
 1ngoborg Torrup is lovely and graceful as Julie. whose fate it seems, is to be loved by good men and bad. She has an appealing per- sonality which combines with her talents to make her assignment to the role q happy circumstance.
 In the other important characters are found Moffat Johnson, as the plotter, Count de Baradas; Gordon Hart, as the ever hungry Sieur de Beringen; Cecil Yapp, as Joseph, companion and secretary to Richehcu; Dallas Anderson, in the role of Louis NH; Charles McCar- thy, Jr., whose acting was splendid and Evelyn Goodrich, as Marion de Lorme, all responding to the high demands Of Hampden.
 Many New Britain persons attend ed last nights performance, attract ed by the fame of Hampden and the fact that Goodrich is a former resi- dent of this city.
 "Richelieu' will be repeated to- night and tomorrow night, with matinee tomorrow.
