Entertainments.

!
 Mir. and Mrs. George s. Knight will de- light large audience at Carll's Opera House
 this evening in their new play, "Over the l Garden Wall" They are very clever com 1 edians.
 1 The celebrated emotional actress, Ada Gray, will appear at the New Haven Opera ! House Tuesday and Wednesday nights in an entirely new version of E'East Lynne" The 1 lady has no peer in the double roles she as-
 sumes in this play.
 RESTORE.
 The event of the season thus far will be
 the appearance of Madame Ristori, who will appear at Carll's Opera House in Elizabeth"
 for one night only. The theater ought to be crowded, if only as 8 tribute of respect to | the queen of the stage.
 CALENDARS MINISTRIES Callenders Minstrels drew large house at | Carll's last night. The performance was
 f1rst-class, the singing being excellent. The Hyer Sisters and Black zouaves as usual pro- duced great enthusiasm.
 DENMAN THOMPSON. No character is better known or more pop
 ular than "Uncle Joshua Whitcomb" The play is one of which the public never tires.
 It is simple and homelike. There are no ex-
 aggerated characters in it. It will be played at Carll's Opera House New Years afternoon and evening.
 THE GREAT LEoPoLDs.
 The Leopolds will appear in ''Frivolity" at
 the New Haven Opera House on Thursday,
 Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon. It is great show. Nothing
 like it has ever been seen here. The prices are low; fifty and seventy-fve cents for re-
 served seats. Matinee prices, twenty-five
 and fifty cents.
 BUNNELL.'s MUSEUM. The wisdom of Manager Bunne1 in select ing strong combination to present several
 standard plays at his house this week was
 rendered apparent yesterday by the immense
 audiences which filled the large auditorium
 both afternoon and evening. The house was
 literally packed to overfowing. The people
 were delighted with the performance Every
 body marveiled at sThauma" and gazed
 with interest at the other oariosities. Miss
 Pauline Markham, as 'sMay Edwards' in f'The- -Tieket-of Leave Man." was excellent.
 Randolph Murray, as Bob Brierly," gave a satisfactory rendition of the leading role,
 Miss Jennie Fisher and E. H. Stevens de- serve much praise for their performances | As whole the play was well rendered and
 the audience laughed and applauded very l liberaIly. No one should miss seeing either of the three plays that will be given this week.
 l AMERICAN THEAFER. So great was the pressure to see Joe SulIi-
 van in his great impersonation of fsMuldoon, the solid man, last evening, that Manager
 Eldridge had to stop selling tickets at least fifteen minutes before the curtain went up,
 the house being then filled to overfowing.
 By the way this is of quite frequent occur
 rance this season Charles Stanley and Miss 1 Lizzie Conway, and McAvoy and Hallen made 6 hit on this their first appearance here. MT. Eugene Ward | the footless dancer, excited the wonder of all by his surprising deftness. Miss Lou Sanford, the charming vocalist, was in ex- cellent voice, and as usual had to respond to several encores Edwin Lang and Miss Viola
 Rosa finished fine olio, and gave away to
 Sullivan, who is by all odds the best Irish
 comedian that has ever appeared at this thea
 ter. He must be staic, indeed, who can
 look at his makeup and listen to his inimita-
 ble dialect without laughing long and hearti- ", With such attractions Manager FL dridge viii de large business this week.
