 AMERICAN THEATER COMPANY.
 A fine audience greeted the American Theater company at the New Haven Opera House last evening, and witnessed a variety show that has rarely if ever been surpassed for excellence in this city. A feature of the entertainment was the large number of ladies present, and it must have been grat- flying to Manager Eldridge to know that even the fair sex are disposed to smile upon him in his ad Versity. The high kicking of the Heeley brothers was fine ex- hibition and won showers of applause. In- terest was agog to see Harry Richmond, the clever specialist, and he at once earned the favor of the audience There is, perhaps no more successful variety artist before the pub- 1 lie than MT. Richmond, and his sparkling novelties establish him with every audience before whom he appears. Kelly and O'Brien performed some very fine acrobatic feats and their grotesque dancing provoked general mirth. The afterpiece, ''Dime Novel Heroes, was very funny. The same bill will be pre- sented every evening this week, with mati- l nees on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
 THE LIGHTS oLoNDoN.
 The Lights O'London is a strong play and | the company which is to be at Carlls Opera House are capable of doing it justice. The l story of the play is this Squire Armytage 1 has 8 son who has been a rake and an out 1 cast whose place at home has been supplant- ed by his cousin Clifford. The son returns and begs forgiveness. but the father will not | hear him. Clifford and his accomphce Seth l Preene, contrive to steal box of valuable 1 jewelry and papers among which is Q will I which gives the Squire's property to his son. 1 The son is arrested as the thief and sentenced | to seven years penal servitude. He escapes l and goes to London where his wife is stop ping. Preene, not satisfied with the money | that Clifford pays him, goes to London and | finds his daughter the mistress of Harold | Clifford. The authorities, spurred on by | Harold, seek out Clifford and arrest him, but | freene turns in his favor, acknowledges that | he stole the jewels and that he has the will in | hls possession and thus all is righted The | actlng IS Tn most respects | very good, and in the cases of T. H. Glenny. | Fanny Rouse and little Edna Bankson es pecially so. The interest in the KpIot ia | strong, and the situations are worked up in a | very dramatic manner. The scenic effects | are among the finest ever witnessed in New Haven. Especially noticeable are the scenes | of Armytage Hall and Regents Park by l moonlight. The play moves along very easi- ly, quite free from the tiresome drag of most | travelling spectacular shows, and is full of l bright sayings and Imaginable remarks. Not | the least amusing is the manner in which the | gallery gods'' cheer the virtuous and noble sentiments of the actors, though their cat | calls and whistlng should be dispensed with. | There was but small audience last evening, | but New Haven people cannot afford to miss | such an immensely fine attraction.
 The asthetic movement in England has en- birely died out because-wen because people | kfaro eyOS,d onv,,v,n>..
