 PATIENCE.
 On next Monday evening the Boston Mu- scum company will appear at Carlrs Opera House in the great musical novelty entitled Patience, or Bunthornes Bride" There will be particularly strong and attractive cast, which includes Messrs. G. W. Wilson and J. s. Haworth, two actors of contrasted style and marked ability. Mir Wilson pos- sesses rare comic talent and in all of his pieces he excites the most favorable com ment. The same may be said of Mir. Ha- worth. Among the ladies who appear as the s'damsels,' Miss Sadie Martinot, Miss Mi riam O'Leary and the others are all favor ites and the chorus is much larger and bet ter than in the generality of comic operas Reserved seats may be obtained at Loomis
 CHRIS AND LENA.
 fair sized audience at the New Haven Opera House greeted the first appearance of those versatile comedians, Baker and Farron, last evening in their own creation, ''Chris and Lena" Every ore enjoyed the perform ance. The piece was evidently written ex- pressly to enable the artists to introduce their many clever specialties. Baker, who reminds one of Emmet 1n appearance and style, danced sang and acted admirably. Farron's delineation of 'tLena" was remark able," but he was even more funny as ''Tim Flaherty." His representation of the wild Irishman is unequaled. The supporting company was acceptable. The play will be repeated this afternoon, and in tle evening ''Foreigners, or Up Salt Creek" will be pre- sented. They deserve full houses.
 s'sHE srooPs TO coNoUER'
 Last evening large audience was present ct Carll's Opera House to witness the render ing of Goldsmith's comedy ''She Stoops to Conquer" The performance in every partic- ular was superior, and the audience was simply delighted. It is pleasure to attend performance where every player is a star and house. stage and appointments are in keeping Such was the case last evening and the entertainment generally would equal in excellence any of the kind given in the me tropolis MT. John Gilbert, always host in himself, again elicited expressions of admira ton for his capital portrayal of the old gen. tleman Squire Hardcast1e, and MT ". Elton as Tony Lumpkin was equal to the requirements of the part, acting in complete manner, highly amusing and winning particular marks of favor from the audience. MT. Tearle's rendering of ssYoung Marlow'' was an excellent piece of acting, as was also that of the other male characters. Madame Ponisi did full justice to the charac- ter of Mrs. Hardcastle, and Miss Boniface efforts as Miss Neville's were also very &C., ceptable. Miss Rose Coghlan rendered her part as Miss Hardcastle in a charming man ner. She carries herself with an ease and grace which is fascinating in itself, and her acting is of the highest order and marked for it's consistency and evenness. She acts the char acter she assumes, not only when she is ren- dering her lines, but in every movement, and every moment she is on the stage, and with a natu- ral vivacity that makes her efforts particular ly pleasing and herself a great favorite. Throughout the entire performance the keen wit and fine humor of the piece were neatly brought out, and the play as a whole, was rich treat.
 There should be a full house this after noon, when the same company will present London Assurance The doors will be open at half past one, the performance to commence at two o'clock promptly.
 AMERICAN THEATEg.
