All were pleased, and Miss | Swain was repeatedly called before the cur | tain. She is as lively as Lotta, and has more physical strength to carry her through. The plot of the play is good, the situations ex ceedingly startling, and the support so good that all goes off without friction. Miss Swain is good singer and dancer, and keeps up the interest throughout The sale oi l seats here promises to be large, there being general desire to see the little lady again.

 LA JoL1E PAR1U @JsE.
 Mme. Theo, who isits New Haven on We nesday, October 25, at Pecks Opera House and who made such great success in Ney l York at the Fifth Avenue Theater, has muc in her favor in her beauty and also in grac of gesture which is natural to her. Added t this a superabundance of animal spirit which infuses an irresistible humor into al that she does, but which never is allowed t. carry her beyond the bounds of good taste there is delicacy of finish about her mos uproarious fun, even in her most rollick ing moods, which robs it o nything which might be objected to, an, even in the most pronounced lines of oper bouffe there is an indescribable something childish glee rather than an audacious sup gestion, in her manner of giving them whicl makes themslaugh without being in th least coarse. AS an old theater goer in Nes | York remarked, "A daughter may take he mother to see Theo." The company to sup port Theo is the great Maurice Grau Oper company, which is composed of such musica talent as to be able to present opera ant l opera boufe. The sale of seats of this en gagement commences next Monday at Loomis l music store.
 The two performances given yesterday 8 Carlls Opera House by Mlle Rhea wer worthy of more liberal patronage, although good sized audiences were present on botl occasions. The matinee, when Camille l was presented was largely attended by ladies and although little demonstration in the wa of applause was given, the silent tears whicl dimmed the sight of many an eye were al eloquent tribute to the actress power. He success was most decided in this play, and marked improvement on her former presen tatian of the same. The evening perform ance was attended by one of the coldest aud fences of the season, according to outward indications, and it without their assist ance that Mile. Rhea gave a beautiful ren dering of the character of Juliet" Ina it was @ work of great merit cannot b denied. The little enthusiasm aroused may in part be accounted for in the fact that the audience were forced to give their closes attention in order to correctly understand the words of Mile. Rhea, and the strain acted as counter influence to impulsive demon stration. During the scene in Juliet's cham ber, when she is about to take the death lik producing draught, there were several in ! stances where hearty applause should have been bestowed, but thougl la word would be los silence reigned supreme, and was not wax ened until the actress had ceased to speak Mile. Rhea ably assisted by Mr. W. Reynier as ''Romeo." He is of fine figur and a graceful and able young actor. Hi costumes were elegant and picturesque, an'
