 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE. Clara Morris made her reappearanee in this city last evening after an absence of three years. She selected as the medium of her introduction the character of ''Cora" in Be- lots three-act drama "Article A." The play is fashioned after the usual French school of dramatic composition, and meas ured by the standard of it's Gallic contem- poraries is on par with the more successful ones. It is sort of morbid narrative, con- structed almost wholly with a view to eff fective climaxes, and being essentially a one part play is devoid of the slightest essence of comedy. That Clara Morris is one of the finest emotional actresses in this country is pretty universally admitted. Her l impersonation of the hot blooded Creole Cora was in parts fairly thrilling. We do not l look for versatility in Miss Morris. On the contrary are perfectly satisfied with her portrayal of but few characters. In these l her identity is lost in the person of a woman, the intensity of whose emotion makes for cible impression on the heart strings of human passion and sentiment. We are fairly overpowered by the realism of her mental anguish, and at times fascinated by the | flights ot genius which flash forth with as- 1 tonishing brilliancy. It is not for us to de- 1 termine whether this proceeds from the effect of nature morbid or lachrymose; we are content to judge from the results, ire spective of the causes or processes by which they are accomplished. We only feel that Miss Morris is capable of touching compassion ate chord in our natures as no other Amer l ican actress can and that her impersonation l is brilliantly bizarre, intense and eminently successful. In the final scene last evening l where ''Cora" becomes gradually mad, cul- | minating into real insanity, Miss Morris acted with almost shuddering realism and gave magnificent rendition complete to the most trifiing details There but two other parts in the play that call for mention. | Eben Plympton as George Duhamel acted in telligently and forcibly. In him Miss Morris has capable foil and an efficient leading ! man. Ogden Stevens as Victor Mazellier, al | though seemingly conscientious, gave an in correct interpretation of his lines, and his conception of the role l is inconsistent with the dramatic | idea they convey. The other parts were so exceedingly subordinate as to require no ! mention. This afternoon Miss Mutton will | be played. This is Miss Morris most eele- | brated impersonation and will be worth wit | messing. Although the prices have been in l creased for this engagement, there are still good seats to be had at the general matinee admission price of twenty-five cents. To night the Mountebank.

 The engagement of Miss Claire Scott and her company at the Museum will close to- night. This afternoon ''Pygmalion and Galatea' will be produced and this evening ''Macbeth." Between the first and second acts this evening Manager Dale Armstrong will recite the poem 'Ostler Joe," which ated so much excitement in Washington so- ciety circles recently when recited by Mrs. Potter. LAWRENCE BARRETT.
 At Carll's Opera House this evening before large and appreciative audience, no doubt, Lawrence Barrett will make his appearance as Hermann in Victor Hugos five act tragedy entitled ''Hernani' MT. Barrett will be supported by his own excellent company. The New York Telegram says: MT. Barrett was seen in the title role and made decided
 success. In the stronger scenes he aroused the enthusiasm of the audience and was called before the curtain several times at the
 close of each act. His impersonation was
 vigorous and manly and it is safe to say that
 in Hermann MT. Barrett has found part ex-
 ceedingly we'll suited to his style of acting
 and one that will be a popular and profitable
 addition to his repertory.
 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 "Alone in London; or, A Woman Against
 the World, , is the name of Buchanan's new
 melodrama to be produced at this opera
 house Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
 evenings and Wednesday afternoon of next
 week. The Philadelphia Herald Chronicle says: The chief theatrical event of the week, which began with last evenings per
 formance. was the first production on any stage of Robert Buchanan's 'FAlone in Lon don or, A Woman Against the World" It took place at the Chestnut street theater be- fore large audience. MT. Buehanan's pro- duction is destined to successful run; the merits of the piece excellent and at times
 brilliant; text strong; character painting; picturesque stage settings and a general sense of good dramatic work.
