 THE SILVER KING.
 A good company, strong play and an in- terested and highly gratifed audience held possession at the New Haven Opera House last evening. E'The Silver King" is drama POSoCSoCS calculated to long hold a place among the popular stage pieces of the day. It highly interests an audience with it's story, excites with its strong situations, amuses with it's Imaginable characters and brings the tears with its pretty pathos. The plot is well woven and the denouemen a just and happy one. The cast that appear ed last evening was good one throughout and specially strong in some instances. MT. Frank M. Burbeck as the Spider" a leader of q gang of. burglars, was excellent His presentation was that of al cool, clever and elegant william and was neatly and commendably done. MT. Frazer Coulter particularly in the last three acts was especially good. Miss Rachel Noah and MT. Eberle are also worthy of mention for excellent work. The comical characters were well represented, and the scenes and incidents relative to them are worthy Dickens. The play requires large number of people, and as whole the per formance was admirably given. The audi ence was enthusiastic, demanding an ac- knowledgment before the curtain several times. This afternoon and evening the per formance will be repeated and large audi ence should be present each time.
