NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.


 W. s. Gilbert's burlesque comedy "En- gagged" was presented at this house last even- ing in the presence of a most interested au- dience Engaged" is decidedly out of the run of ordinary comedy as interpreted by modern farcical writers. Its style is anoma- lous to so-called American hum orous works, yet the keen satire of the author has fash toned the character of the piece and imbued it with an interest, which, though refined, is happily original and indicative of considera- b1e literary skill. It may be broadly stated that the opinion of the audience as to it's excellence will be commensurate with their intelligence. Let them but catch the genius of the burlesque and the high character of the production becomes immediately appar- ent. The absence of anything resembling plot is atoned for by the Imaginable incongru ities which are strung out in great profusion. Yet in view of the fact that the first act dis closes the real status and disposition of every person in the play, and since each succeeding act but rehearses this weakness only magni- fled, there is flavor of monotony about the whole which skillful revisor might well ob- yiate by calling into acquisition one or two numerous amusing stage devices to serve as a diversion. The piece was very to us, played Cheviot Hill in surprisingly excellent manner. He is an eccentric come dian of no mean order and gave his part very intelligent treatment. Agnes Herndon's Belinda was likewise thoroughly good per formanee In fact, we do not remember ever having seen this lady to better advan- tage She made quite hit. Henry Dalton as Belrawney did tolerably well and MT. Mathews as Symperson left very favorable impression. The others were more or less ordinary. The play will be repeated to- night.

JOSEPH MURPHY.

This famous Irish comedian and vocalist will appear at the New Haven Opera House
 on Thursday evening in "Shaun Rhue" and
 on Friday and Saturday evenings and Satur-
 day afternoon in ''Kerry Gow." Of Mr.
 Murphy's "Shaun Rue" the Boston Globe says: s'The piece is essentially an Irish
 one with the traditional villain, oppressed
 maiden and brave peasant lad; but it has less of the Fenian element than usual, while there is much fun and wit throughout.
 Joseph Murphy has been seen and appreciat-
 ed in this city too many times to need to be commented upon here"
