THE MINUTE MEN.
At the New Haven Opera House next
Thursday, Friday and Saturday James
A. Herne's dramatic comedy the
ssMinute Men" is an American comedy
drama in five acts and six tableaux, and its
scenes are laid in Boston and vicinity and its
times the early days of the revolution. The
story of tine plot is somewhat of a romantic
one, with a mixture of love and war. The
play is BEAUTIFULLY picturesque, and its tab
leaux are not the least pleasing and satisfac-
tory part of it.
BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
The ''World," very effective spectacular
play, will be produced at Bunnell's the COM
ing week. The Brooklyn Union says of the
drama: A new criticism of the mechanical
and scenic effects used in bringing out the
'sWorld" is impossible. There has been no
change of moment in the manner of produc.
ing either the explosion or the raft scene.
Both of these are as essential to the 'World"
as is the lawyer, the Jew or the madhouse.
The Colville company is well selected and de-
serves its popularity with those who watch
its production. Among the strong actors in
the World company are Mr.. L. F. Spencer
as Charley Hartley, Miss Nero Charles as Ma
bel Huntingford, and Miss May Tucker as
Mary Blythe.
cARLL's OPERA HOUSE.
Denman Thompson will appear at Carll's
Wednesday and Thursday nights in his new
play written by himself. It is continuation
of the popular "Josh Whitcomb." His sup
port is considered competent and lot of spe-
cial scenery and stage furniture will be used
The title of the new play is the cold Home
stead" In the new play we see the same old
Josh Whitcomb, with whom we have often
times laughed and wept. He brings with
him in the new play the same lovable quail
ties of sterling honesty, mixed with quaint
and infectious jollity;th same old and home
like sayings that carry almost everyone back
to some old homestead, and the scent of new
mown hay and apple blossoms, the hum of
bees and the kindly words of good honest
people.
FOR THE FREE KINDERGARTEN.
Tonight at Carll's Opera House takes
place the entertainment for the benefit of
the free kindergarten with readings by Pro-
lessor George Riddle, of Cambridge, and fine
selections by the Yale Glee club and Banjo
club. The programme will include readings
from Shakespeare, Hood, Southey and How
ellis. Professor Riddle has appeared before
large audiences in st. Louis, Chicago, st.
Paul and Minneapolis during the past week.
The New York Tribune in speaking of an en-
tertainment given by Professor Riddle says:
Mr.. Riddles appreciation of poetry is that of
a temperament which is at once passionate
and gentle and the ideal which he forms he
is able to express by means of voice of re-
markable compass and singular sweetness, by
means also of sensitive, refined counter
ance, graceful form, polished manners and
experiences of elocution.
