 (By Herald Reyiewer)
 Fortunate is that theater which can present twice in the same sea son such a distinguished actor as Walter Hampden.
 Mr. Hampden returned to Parsons in Hartford last evening for a three- day stay in a repertory of plays which includes "Richelieu," Ham let" and "Caponsacchi." "Richelieu' was chosen for the opening night with virtually the identical cast which appeared in it's premiere earlier in the year on Parsons stage. It was given with moro polished effect than on tho opening night, despite the fact that premiere will live long in the memory of those who were so fortunate as to attend.
 "Richelieu." in its present form, is the version of the Bulwer-Lytton story written by Arthur Goodrich of New Britain. The action is speeded up and a tcnseness is added which it was impossible to instill into the earlier version. The plot concerns intrigues in the court of Louis XIII of France and the confoundins of the plotters who hope to take the life of the cardinal and to depose the king.
 "Richelieu' was reviewed in this column on the occasion of it's or iginal presentation. Any attempt to glorify the work of Mir. Hampden results in empty sounding words which fail to do justice to his art. He scales the peaks of dramatic perfection and upholds the traditions of the stage which have been hand ed down through the the ages by those leaders of the profession whose names are linked with the finest works of the drama. MT. Hampden's company, which has been playing "Richelieu' with him in New York deserves the enthusiastic approba- ton of their leader.
 Hamlet" will be played tonight at o'clock and "Caponsacchi," " which was written by Mir. Goodrich and Rose A. Palmer on the plot of BroNning's The Ring and the Book" is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon and evening.
