TWELFTH NIGHT AGAIN GIVEN

Miss Adams's Second Performance.- Appears at New Haven This Evening.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

For a second time Miss Adams captured an enthusiastic audience in Sanders Theatre last night in her performance of "Twelfth Night." As might be expected, all the actors showed a greater assurance in reciting their lines, and were manifestly far more at their ease on the hitherto unfamiliar Elizabethan stage. Although the demonstration on the part of the audience was not so marked as on the preceding night, the performance brought round after round of applause, to which Miss Adams responded with a brief speech in front of the curtain.

Miss Adams was fascinating as usual. Her Viola left little to be desired. She wrought into her part a great personal charm, and a pleasing variety of tenderness and petulant humor, thoroughly in sympathy with her role. In all her motions she was grace itself, which comes to Viola as naturally as it does to Babbie and Peter Pan. The audience watched for Miss Adams when she appeared on the stage, but sighed and clapped when she left, and applauded at every opportunity.

Both Miss Josephine Victor as Olivia, and Mr. Ernest Lawford as Malvolio, entered into their parts more vigorously, and carried out their characterizations with greater care and emphasis than on the preceding night.

Shortly after 8 o'clock the Elizabethan audience had assembled for the play, and with the "gallants" dressed in the style of the period, afforded a very picturesque impression.

Immediately after the performance all the members of the audience that so desired, gathered on the stage and were presented to Miss Adams, who greeted them cordially and graciously.

The utmost thanks and credit are due to Miss Adams and the members of her company, to Mr. Charles Frohman, and the committee of the English Department who had the matter in hand. Their enthusiasm and energy have made the performance in every way a great success, equalled only by Mr. Forbes Robertson's attainment in April of 1904.

Miss Adams and her company will appear in "Twelfth Night" this evening at Yale University on the grounds of the New Haven Lawn Club: After this they will tour briefly through the east, visiting Buffalo and Ithaca, and then break up for the summer.
