l There was very large audience at the New
 Haven Opera House last evening to witness ! the first production in this city of MT. Char | les F. Coghlan's new romantic drama "Joce- lyn." The play is one of intense interest l and requires the efforts of first rate artists and the title role demands the best endeav- of the charming and talented actress for I whom it was written. Miss Coghlan is to be ! congratulated for having brother who can construct such an effective play, and he is to be congratulated for having a sister who possesses the talent to impersonate it's princi-
 pal character so admirably, The ! Anglers in Anjon and the time of the action ! is in the summer of 1920. This allows pie turesque scenery representing the Chateau I de Brissac and elaborate costuming, arms and equipments. All of these were specially constructed for the play, and were as com plete az one sees in metropolitan theater. Miss Coghlan has visited this city many times, but she never appeared to 50 good advantage as she did last evening. The in- terest of the play reached its highest pitch at the conclusion of the third act, when after double encore cheers were mingled with the applause. The sup porting company is an excellent ono. MT. William Lackaye as 'tPrince Saviana' and MT. James E. Wilson as s'Gaston Marcel" both deserve especial mention for their fine acting. It was perhaps the most thoroughly satisfactory performance of the season, and it is to be hoped that "Jocelyn" will be re~ peated here at an early date.
 At the Grand Opera House for the last three days of this week ''Dot, or the Aven- gers Oath" will be presented. Miss Florence J. Birdsley and an excellent company will produce the piece. There are many strong points in the piece and it deserves liberal patronage.
 ROBERT EI.sMERR.
 Robert Elsmere as dramatized by MT. Gil | lette will be presented by Madison Square ! cast at the Hyperion tomorrow and Saturday evenings with Saturday matiness. Several ! in the cast have won national regulations, while John T. Sullivan and E. H. Vanderfelt | have also achieved the most fattering success abroad. Mrs. Humphrey Wards novel l Robert Elsmere, has, perhaps, created more | interest among educated people than any | book which has been published in a quarter of century. The drsmatization of such {
 book must excite general interest, and witt
 such skilful playwright as William Gillette not point is lost.
 "She", at the Hyperion, is undoubtedly ons
 of the finest spectacular pieces presented her' during the season. The final climax, thu
 death of the beautiful and mysterious "She,
 is positively touching in pathos. In will be
 repeated this evening.
 KIRALFY's WATER oUEEN
 The superb ''WatA- a' Eon oS | IL, a very fine spectacular pro-
 -orion, and has met with many fattering receptions throughout it's extended tour through the western States. It possesses a | wealth of scenery and beautiful sights and | will undoubtedly be grand success in this city at the New Haven Opera House to.mor-
 row evening and Saturday matinee and eve l ming.
