The com pany will appear at the New Haven Opera House on next Tuesday evening. oLIyETTE.
 The presentation of Olivette by the Wilbur Opera company st Carll's Opera House last evening witnessed by large audience. Although during the first part of the per formance there was little demonstration of approval, before the close considerable en- thusiasm was aroused. This was natural, for as the performance advanced there was marked improvement, and though at first a rather tame entertainment indicated, it turned out to be very meritorious and on joyable one. Although false notes were not infrequent the singing as whole was good. The solo Bob up Serenely," by "Coqueli- cot (Mr. Ed. Chapman), each verse having in rendering of the character was very droll and created much amusement. The solo by sDuc des Ifs" (Mr. M. J. E. Brand) was the best of the evening and re- ceived triple encore. The company has 8 strong acquisition in Miss Ray Samuels whose abilities as an actress and songstress were fully demonstrated when she was with ''Salsbury's Troubadours- D Miss Susie Kir- win meda an acceptable Oivette. Little sp1r- it characterized the performance until the second act when the company seemed to warm up to it, the audience following suit. The chorus and orchestra were not strong, but considering the numbers, rendered the music in pleasing manner. The company work well together, are handsomely cos tuned, and are superior one in many re- spects. This afternoon and evening the popular and jolly opera "The Mascotte" will be given. We advise all who are fond of light opera to attend, feeling confident that they will be pleased.
