NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.

OA
 Parlor Match, which couple of seasons ago received it's initial Tightening in this city, was produced at the New Haven Opera House last evening. Although at the first performance it was credited with having made pronounced hit, two years of friction against the criticism of provincial audiences has had the effect of smoothing the rougher edges so that now "A Parlor Match' can lay claim to being one of the sprightliest farce comedies current. To be sure there isn't the faintest semblance of dramatic merit about it, but there is laugh, and plenty of it. An expose of spiritualisn, as we'll as satire on that ma1igned of all men, the book agent, is the skeleton about which three acts of anus ing complications entwined
 Since his last appearance MT. Hoey has improved wonderfully, and his impersona- tion of Old Hoss was a surprise to those who remember William in his variety days. Charles Evans the canvassing agent was inimitably comical, and his entrance brought a smile to every face Jennie Yeamans was supplanted in the part of Innocent Kidd by Miss Minnie French, who certainly did not suffer in a comparison with her predecessor Dan Hart's Captain Kidd was played to life and his irascible neighbor found a good ex- ponent in MT. E. Bellomont. The play will be repeated this evening.

 AMERICAN THEATER
 As usual last evening this popular house was crowded and the entertainment provided by the Devene Allied Attractions was fully up to the expectations of those who came to see frst-c1ass show. From the rise until the fall of the curtain the auditors were kept in ripple of laughter and murmur Of ap- plause which at intervals swelled to roars of merriment. The feature of the company is the Devene family in their truly wonderful trapeze performance. Mile. Aimee's perilous flights through mid air meets with especial favor. Miss Capito,a Forrest, who executes a jig surrounded by hoop of fre is also l worthy of especial mention. The Ladies' brass band is great novelty. They play | nicely and their music was heard with satis- faction and pleasure by throngs of people.
 MILE AIMEE. Mile Aimee appears Friday evening, Oct | 30, at Carll's Opera House, in ''Mamzell," and Saturday matinee and evening in ''Di- ''Mamzelle" is fancy kind of comedy developing most unlocked for situa lions, both on the stage and in the audience, | treating the most side-splitting laughter. An exchange saysl 'sAimee sang her old sone Pretty as a picture" in her old way, and of course eaptivated the house and had to re- peat one of the verses. Lester Victor plays he old stage manager to dot. His repre-
