specialists, are drawing large houses at the

thoroughly plea0ed with the programme and
the actors
"LEND ME 4 COLLAR.
This popular play will be presented at the
New Haven Opera House this evening and to-
morrow sysning with tomorrow matinee. 1t
is strongly cast. Mr., William Carroll plays
Captain Dobbs, a character in which he has
gained much favor. His musical specialties
are admirable. The play is filed with wit,
funny situations and delightful musical per-
formances. The piece is new and contains
many bright features. An enjoyable evening
is assured to all who may attend.
's7-20-8"
Arthur Rehan's company in ''7-20-8'
drew but sspsll audience at Carll's Opera
House last evening. This season has GER
tainly been very poor one for the dramatic
profession. The very best companies that
have visited us this season have failed to
draw even paying houses and "7-20-S" had
to share the usual ill luck, The splendid
presentation of one of Days most amusing
adaptations certainly deserved large audi
ence. But the vacant chairs did not seem to
dampen the ardor of the excellent artists, for
1 fhoxy HoT1t hn and in a oil 4ha
evening. Miss Virginia Brooks played
'tFloss' admirably and Mr.. Russell made
good Courtney Corlis," though at times he
spoke trife too loud. Mr.. Harry Hottie as
''taunoel9t Bargiss" was excellent, and Mr..
Bartram as professor Gasleigh" ably sec
onded his efforts Mr.. John i, Raymond as
''Signor Tamborine" played difficult part
very naturally. The company repeat their
performance tonight and tomorrow after
noon and evening, and we trust that they
will be greeted with large audiences.
NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC CLUB eeAeRRF. .
The concert last night given in the Aths-
neum by Mr.. Charles T. Howe, the autist,
with the New York Philharmonic club, sup
plemented by Miss Fannie Howe, soprano,
and Mr.. Howe, aceompanist, was a rare treat.
It held the audience e. it were spell-bound
for over two hours Soft and dalieious mel
odies floated upon the air and the most in
sensate could but realize that the musical
art when its heights aye reached can give an
eetasy of delight pure and refining
as the ideal of a poets dream. Mr..
Emil Schenek'a rendering of the violoncello
solo and Mr.. Riehasl Arno1d's violin solo
called for encores and the applause was
hearty and long continued They are musi-
clans of talent. To such selections as theirs
and their mastery execution the audience
was largely indebted for the pleasure of the
evening. Nearly every pieoe on the pro-
gramme was rapturously encored, including
that of our home artits, Mr.. Charles r.
Howe and his sister, Miss Fannie c. Howe,
the latter displaying the great fexibility and
COMPASS of her voice and wonderful power of
vocalization III 'PEochis air and variations"
Sach ooaeerts as this are eyeg blessing to
community that has the privilege Of hearing
them.
