Skipped by the Light of the Moon" which
will be seen at the New Haven Opera House

matinee, is thus described by the New York
papers: The strangest, quaintest, oldest,
drollest, queerest, funniest, most ludicrous
characters, scenes, situations, sayings and
doings that the human mind has ever con-
ceived are embodied in this play. Humor of
the most unctuous, rollicking, jovial, side
splitting character that the most fertile imag-
nation can picture is its distinguishing feat

is produced has never before been heard
within the walls of any theatre in this city
PATIENCE.
The presentation of "Patience" by the Nc
Csull Opera company at Carll's Opera House
last evening was in many respects the best that |
has been given in this city. Mr.. Ryley has no
equal in the role of ''Bunthorne" He does
not overact the part, does not interlard the
dialogue with local gags" but presents to |
the audience the ''feshly poet" as Gilbert in |
tended to portray him. Mr.. Digby Bell was |
equally good as "Grosvenor He, too, re-
led entirely upon the words of the author |
FOR his share of applause. His Rotations of |
jhe poems and his song about the magnet |
md the churn were very artistic and had to /
be repeated. Miss Laura Joyce Bell sang
md acted Lady Jane" faithfully and all her /
solos were encored. Miss Beebe as 'tPa- |
fence" was all that could be desired. The |
.est Of the solo parts were well taken, but do |
1ot deserve special mention. The chorus /
md orchestra were adequate, though, as US
1al here, not too numerous. HPatience"
will be presented again by the same caste
