Mile. Minnie Hauk and Signor Campanini are at- fractions enough in themselves, but with 8 whole cast of superior artists, together with corps de ballet led by Mme. Cavallazzi, a full orchestra, etc., the occasion will be one
 that no lover of grand opera who can arrange to be present can afford to miss. HAZEL KIRKE.
 This evening the fascinating play Hazel
 Kirke will be given at the Carll Opera House by the Madison Square Theatre company. Hazel Kirke has proved one of the great at fractions of the day, having had an immense run, and the sale of seats in this city war rants expectations of large house. The play will be presented in manner that can not fail to give satisfaction. New Haven patrons will welcome Miss Georgia Cay van. who is one of the chief attractions in the play tonight. The entire com pany is one of the best.
 BARON RUDOLPH
 r Unfortunately but 8 medium sized audi ence was present last evening at the New Ha- ven Opera House when MT. and Mrs. Geo. 5. Knight appeared in their new play "Baron Rudolph" Those who were there will re- | member it as one of the most enjoyable en- l tertainments that has been given in this city
 
 the author, has given to the public in this | play work that commands admiration. The | evolving of the plot produces alternately 8 gentle pathos, wit and humor, and starts tears of sympathy and shouts of laughter from the | audience as the interesting story proceeds.
 The character of Rudolph Wiegand is one l that affords MT. Knight an opportunity to l show his versatile acting, and in every way
 he did full justice to it. He shows great power and dramatic skill in this character, | and at times reminds one of Joe Jefferson in l Rip Van W1nkle. Although Mrs. Knight
 was evidently suffering with bad cold, she | acted with her usual vivacity and spirit as Mrs Dashwood. Judge Merrybone and Gen.
 eral Metcalf, characters taken by E. L. Wal ] ton and J. L.. Ashton respectively, were l highly successful, and elicited shouts of laughter in their rivalry for the hand of Mrs. Dashwood. Miss Charlotte Cobb and Miss
 Ida Glenn were very satisfactory in their parts, and the company as a whole is excel lent. We hope to see this company and | play here again, and trust that larger audi
 ence will greet them, with the crying infant
 that very much disturbed everybody last 1 evening left out
