THE GUv'NoR.
The Boston Museum company in ''The
Guv'nor' had another fair-sized audience at
the New Haven Opera House last evening
The part of the deaf boatbuilder by Mr..
Wilson is remarkable piece of character
acting and to him belong the chief honors of
the evening. This excellent company will
give performances this afternoon and evening.
Those who enjoy pure comedy splendidly
acted should not fail to make the acqua1n-
lance of the "Guv'nor."
SIBERIA NEXT WEEK.
BARLEY Campbells celebrated drama
''Siberia" will be presented at the New
Haven Opera House every evening of next
week with Saturday matinee. The scenery
and mounting of the play are both wonder
fully effective, and in dramatic strength it is
pronounced equal to any play of the present
decade. The theme of the play is Nihilism,
the persecution of the Jews in Russia and
the corrupt and despotic sway of the Russian
nobility. The interest never flags from the
rise of the curtain till its fall and every act
closes with a brilliant and effective picture.
APAJUNE.
There was fair-sized audience at Carll's
Opera House last evening to witness the first
presentation in this city of "Apajune" by the
McCaull Opera Comique company. The
music of ''Apajune" is by Millocker, COM
poser of the 'EBeggar Student" is tuneful
throughout and is full of catching airs. The
dialogue is by Mr.. Sidney Rosenfeld and is
full of "new phrases" which kept the au-
dience good natured throughout the evening.
The opera was presented in true metropoli-
tan style. The soloists were all frst-class
and the large chorus sang in time and tune
Mr.. Francis Wilson as "Prince Alamir
Prutschesko" gave without doubt the funniest
piece of acting we have seen this season
His ''Song of the Horn at the conclusion of
the second act called forth double encore.
Miss Lily Post ''Natalitza" ably seconded
Mr.. Wilson and sang in splendid voice. Mr.
Taylor as ''Marcu" and Miss Reynolds as
''Heloise' sang and played we'll Special
praise is also due to Mr.. Rising, who played
''Manol," not only for his excellent makeup
and solo when disguised as village maiden
The opera will be repeated this afternoon
and evening and deserves overlooking houses.

On Wednesday and Thursday of next week
with Wednesday matinee the Boston Ideals
will play in Peck's Grand Opera House. At
the Wednesday matinee "Girofe Girofa"

recommendation to those who saw it when

nesday evening "Fanchonette" will be given
for the first time in New Haven. The COM
pany will appear in "Giralda" Thursday ev-
ening. The cast of the Boston Ideal COM
