EntertaiDm ents. ENTERTAIN THE TER

A good sized audience gathered at the Hyperion last evening to witness the produc- tion of Leonard Growers cemedy-drama 'Lost in New York;" by Miles & Bartons capable company. The vast river of real water was the chief attraction and proved no disappointment. The piece was staged throughout in an excellent manner and the scenery called forth frequent applause from sympathetic audience, but the setting of the thiId act was crowning piece of stage realism. The scene represented foreground of Wards Island asylum, with view of the eastern water front of the metropolis at dark In the middle ground was a large tank filled with water in which rowboats passed and repassed and steam launch piled. The little steamer carried several passengers and was propelled by steam. It was turned around in the tank with ease in full view of pleased audience. ''Lost in New York" it's present name, but it is nevertheless no stranger to New Haven theater-goers. It savors strongly of "Cad, the Tomboy;" in fact it seems little else than revision of that play in which Carrie Swain made her reputa- tion. The old play has evidently been fitted stance, the great tank scene, and rechristen- ed. It was presented by 8 compe- tent company last evening and proved as welcom as ever. Patrice, an actress, re- membered as member of the company which first presented "Clio" in this city, took the character of Jennie Wilson, the waif. She is more refined artiste than Carrie Swain, but not so well suited to the character. The roaghness and spirit of the latter actress is wanting. She played the part acceptably, however, and flung the nec- essary slang in the most approved fashion. She is winning little lady, but would meet with greater success in a more refined charac- far Doo body, although exhibiting tendency to cveract, is worthy of mention for painstak- ing rendition of her difficult and harsh lines. With the exception of Thomas Wise, who made a fair Arthur Wilson, the other people call for no notice. :'Lost in New York" will be repeated this afternoon and evening, when all should avail themselves of the opportunity to see the realistic river scene and attend a good performance.
 BUNNELL's GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
