AMERICAN THEATER.
 The Davene Allied Attractions continue to
 draw large houses at this popular resort. BUNNELL's MUSEUM.
 Ethel Tucker appeared yesterday afternoon and evening in ''Leah, the Forsaksn" at the
 museum to good houses. She will appear in ''Leah, the Forsaken," this afternoon and
 evening, and Friday and Saturday afternoons and evenings in t'Pearl of Savoy"
 | CARLL's OPERA HOUSE.
 Friday evening Mile. Aimee will appear at this house in 'sMamzelle'' and Saturday af- ternoon and evening in "Divorcous." Of Aimee's appearance in Hartford Tuesday
 evening the Courant says: ''She was the
 same Aimee, however, and went through her part in the same finished style as of old. She had an excellent supporting company and | the 'sbusiness'' incident to 'sMam'zelle" in which members of the company play part in the audience, was very cleverly done." CARLL's OPERA HOUSE.
 If hearty applause is an evidence then the the small audience present at Carlls Opera House last evening must have thoroughly en- | joyed the entertainment given by Rosina vokes and her comedy company. A triple bill was presented "In Honor Bound, D the first is a well written comedy ill one act by Sidney Grundy, was played in that quiet and refined manner which showed that the i'm personators were indigenous to the characters It was refreshingly nat
 ural and rather fitting pred | ecessor to 'sMy Milliner's Bill, ," to which in motif it is quite antithetical. The last named is dialogue in one act and the vehicle by which Miss Vokes sings and dances her way into the good graces of her audience. Her song 'His Heart was True to PolI' was an inimitable piece of comicality and suggested the former days when the merry burlesquer delighted her audience with her terpsichorean effort "A Tinted Venus'' concluded the entertainment and was capitally rendered. NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 The spectacular production "Clio" was presented before large audience at the New Haven Opera House last evening" In Clio the author, Bartley Campbell, has elaborated the idea which has imbued several of his melodramatic efforts, namely, the introduc- tion of scenic efforts so arraigned as to pre- sent to the mind of the spectator powerful stage well as pen picture. As might be expected one or the other is bound to suffer, which in this case proved to be the latter. But whatever may have been striven for the play is we'll arranged spectacle and mar vel of stage mechanism.
 The locale of the piece is in France and Italy and the events are supposed to have transpired during the Middle Ages. The story is simple one, the interest centering in the doings of Fabian, struggling artist, and Lucia, his model, whose love is crossed by the machinations of the Countess Alice.
 The classical character of the materials used may perhaps account for the tendency of the playwright to soar above the intelligence of the average auditor, to whom the narrative cannot help but appear hay and obscure. Now and then, however, there arises out of
 the depths of the dialogue sentiment.
 which are characteristic Campbellisms.
 Everything is subordinated to the spectacu
 lar effects, which are in some respects very
 commendable, in others below mediocrity.
 One of the best features of the performance
 was folly ballet led by the celebrated pre-
 miere danseuse Adele Cornalba, whose
 tours de force show to a good advantage the
 teachings of the Italian school from which
 the lady has been graduated. A number of
 well arranged grouping precede the earth
 quake scene, which bears an appearance of
 realism quite too marked for the ultra timor-
 ous. The cast includes some capable people
 who as a rule do quite we'll the requirements
 of their respective roles. The play will be
 repeated every evening of this week.
