AMERICAN THEATER.
| A frst-class variety show has drawn
crowds to every performance at the Ameri-
can Theater this week. The bill is an I'M
usually strong one, and from first to last
| the audience is kept in the best of humor
| by succession of novelties and excellent
| specialties.
The presentation of ''Siberia" at the New
Haven Opera House is decided success as
was again manifested by the large audience
| last evening. The construction of the plot
is both judicious and original and the dia-
logus is bright and interesting. It will be
presented tonight and Saturday night with
Saturday matinee.

Haven Opera House Monday and Tuesday
evenings, March 80 and 81, in the popular

| acts, well-known as the work of Robert
Browning. The comedy is Thompsons

| ton.
CARLLS OPERA HOUSE.
Notwithstanding the many other strong
attractions Maggie Mitchell and company
played maggie the Midget" before good
audience. The play is new to our theater
goers, having had it's first presentation in
Omaha last fall. Miss Mitchell took the title
role with her accustomed spirit and force
her support gave entire satisfaction. Miss
Mitehell's present season, which most artists
complain of as being particularly poor, has
been her best for many years.
GIRALDA.
"Giralda" was presented for the first time
in this country last evening by the Boston
Ideals at Peck's Grand Opera House very
successfully. The audience was large, ap-
preciative and frequently enthusiastically
applauded, and it was evident that their YER
dict of "Giralda" was decidedly one of salts
faction and appreciation. The cast included
Miss Ulmar, Miss Mathilde Phillips, Messrs
Tom Karl Barnabee, Macdonald and Morsell.
The music of"Giralda"is sparkling lively and
full of melody with charming solos and duets
and thrilling choruses. The orchestral music
was fine The plot embraces sufficient
romance to appeal to the heart, and striking
situations either romantic, dramatic or grotes
que to excite, entertain and amuse, and the Co.'S
TUNES were elegant, and with the talent, both
vocal and dramatic of the Ideals there was
combination which did not fail to crafty
and delight. Miss Ulmar as "Giralda' was
admirably adapted for her role and her grace
and charm of manner and person with an
excellent impersonatlon OF her part capti-
waited the audience. Mr.. Karl as ''Don Man
mel" was admirable both in voice and as the
ardent, devoted lover. Mr.. Barnabee as the
much perplexed "Den Japhet' capitally exc
cuted his light comedy role and Mr..
Macdonald as the "Duke Consort" sang
and acted WELL Miss Phillips as the
Duchess well sustained the requirements of
her role and the company has added to its
popularity in New Haven. 1t is matter of
regret that June ends its
Giralda is romantic opera in three acts,
composed by the late Adolphe Adam, and
was in vogue fort y-five years ago in Germa-
ny. 1t has been produced in England. The
original text was by Eugene Scribe, but was
modernized, modified and in the main re-
written by Oscar We'll. of New York. Mr..
We'll was present last evening an interested
observer Miss Ober, proprietor and mana
ger of the Ideal company, was also present.
