Patrons go away d1Ssatlsned- NOW Wlbn 8 company of our own this will not be so. People will go away pleased. We intend to have fine company of our own and give en- tertainments nightly, with Wednesday and Saturday matinees. We have at our com mand the materials which will form a first class company. We will keep the company up to the standard Every night some stand ard and nice play will be presented in fine style We will have good companyand we will give fine plays, which we can hardly ever get from travelling combination. We are at the mercy of travelling combinations as it is now. Once in 8 while frst-class com parly comes and gives 8 fine society play 1t makes a great hit. The next sea- son it splits up and three or four travelling companies are made up and thes people rush to see the play and get badly disappointed with the mediocre stage timber they see enacting the parts. Cesar de Bazan, The Stranger, Love's Sacri- fee, Lady of Lyons, Jealousy, Jane Eyre, Pearl of Savoy, Hidden Hand, Orion, The Gold Beater, Black Eyed Susan, Maniac Lover, La Tour Denesle and host of oth- CTS. The travelling combinations after a bril- liant success, as I said, fill up and the next season come with cheaper folks, and the peo- pie are ''led astray." They go expecting 8 | fine thing and are disappointed Then again | travelling combinations 'tplay between the houses, " and thus cut the percentage so low that we can't make anything.
 Will it pay?
 | ''That it will" We expect to add LOGO or | 1000 to the amusement patrons in New Ha-
 ven from people who now seldom go to the 1 theatre. We propose to give none but clean
 entertainments that ladies and gentlemen will find unexceptionable and approve of. We ! d. | vated in tone,-make our place similar in tone and character to the Madison Square 1 Theatre of New York We will make it the Madison Square Theatre of New Haven. How is that?
 | I mean by that the Madison Square The going people of New York than any other, | and l mean to have the same effect
 here. Nothing is ever presented there that | can offend the most refined taste. have al- ways endeavored since my residence here to | give frst-class entertainments, but poor
 one will creep in occasionally.
 ! MT. Near was then interrogated as to the | question of success. Would enough patrons be found for every night?
 1 believe it will pay. We shall put the l prices within the reach of all. How many | there are who would take their lady to fine
 entertainment at 50 cents a head for reserved
 seats below and two good seats up stairs for IO centS- BeSlQeS Gn1S IS a nome nOuSIrY. | We board the people here; we locate here permanently. We save railroad fares and | transient prices for everything that Is used.
 We can succeed at lower prices.
 Shall you close houses to combinations Oh, no; but we shall be in position to re- fuse only the best-all that are questionable. | Whenever secure 8 travelling company we
 shall take our home company out to Water l bury, Meriden, Hartford and some of the l neighboring towns. We shall also repeat New York and Boston successes by purchas- ing rights.
 Whom have you engaged for your com 1 pany?
 Am not prepared to say. They will be la- dies and gentlemen-as good people as
 ever appeared in this city, with 8 leading man like Charles R. Thorne.
 We shall be associated with 8 lady actress of note in the management, and there are many new attractions to be added to improve
 and beautify the Orera House, which done, we shall have grand opening entertainment. l I will have the best talent. There are splen.
 did actors and actresses in the country to be
 had, whom chance has not yet enabledto
 Mount the glded ladder of fame.'
 In other words, they have not yet ''caught on" to the piece to throw them to the sur face and win renown. John T. Raymond jumped to fame when he became Col Sellers, and yet he was equally good an actor the day before he struck that bonanza
 When do you opens
