ences, will appear at the Grand Opera House on next Monday evening. They have given large number of consecutive performances at New York, Boston aud Philadelphia, where they attracted crowds to see their unique and | novel entertainment. Tickets should be se
 cured at Loomis', as there will be crowd at l the Tourists entertainment. AN ARABIAN NIGHT. This evening MT. Augustin Daly's comedy l company will give his last and best comedy 1 'fAn Arabian Night'-at Goes Opera House. The Hartford Times has this to say of the !! play 'sThis is one of the brightest, clever est comedies that has been presented here during the season. Here and there is 8 slight dash of farce, never touch of burlesque. The whole is the hveliest play imaginable aud l hurriss from scene to scene in quickstep time, | yetwith such variety of ludicrous situations and comic incidents that the audience glide through three hours of laughter without ap- preciating the passage of time. One enjoyed the double delight of perfect illusion, and subsequently, the pleasant recognition of the
 art that had produced it. This is acting in comparison to which two-thirds of the so- called comedies we have seen were presen- tation of weak nonsenss and inane burlesque. Mir. John Drew, whose part was the most diff fcult, deserves highest praise. He was splen- did. But none of the others seemed less per 1 feet in the limits of their own role" Seats should be secured at the box office this morn ing.
 1 HALL THE RAGE"
 Those who visited the New Haven Opera House last evening were treated to an enter tainment that surpassed anything of its kind that has been presented here during the sea son. ''All the Rage is roaring farce, of which MT. William D. Eaton is the author. It is very clever production, and there is good deal of merit in it's witty dialogue and thor ough mixing up of love and sentiment and the rage of slandered aspirant for political hon. ors The fun begins with the first act and in creases to the very end, and with such humor- ous and competent actors as Mir. Frank liar denberg and Mr. William Davidge, supported
 by an excellent company, the piece will un-
 doubtedly meet with prolonged success. Miss Jennie Yeamans, in the character of 8 school
 girl, made quite hit with the audience. Her
 song and dance after the style of Aimee were
 very cleverly done and altogether she is
 very ''cute" and pleasing little actress. Miss
 Meta Bartlett is an actress of marked ability and finished style, and nothing but praise IS
 due to the entire company. In addition 1t
 may be mentioned that the scenery, comprls-
 ing 8 view at Long Branch and an excursion
 steamer, were very realistic and added much | to the general good effect. If t'All the Rage"
 visits this city again with the same company
 secure your seats early, for the house will
 surely be packed
