PAOLA,


The latest production by Messrs. Harry
Paulton, Mostyn Tedds and Edward J.
Jacobowski, entitled 'Paola, ;" was very sue.

company at the Hyperion Thsater last even
ing. The audience was a large one and,
judging by the frequent applause, it was q
very much pleased one. When recently pro-
duced In New York city the opera received
very favorable press notices, and the praise
bestowed seems to have been well deserved.
It is full of light, pleasi Dg music, and the
fun contained in the dialogue is In Mr.. PAUL.
toms best style. The performance last even.
ing was an admirable one. All the princi-
pals were first rate artists and the chorus and
orchestra were both large and effec
tive. Mr.. Paulton was very funny as
"Sapolo," and he was ably seconded
by Miss Beaudet az "Chilina." This young
lady made herself conspicuous at once by the
evident earnestness and desire to please
which characterized her acting, singing and
dancing. Miss Edwards and Miss McLaugh-
lin also deserve special mention. But the
principal feature of the entertainment was
the admirable singing and acting of the
chorus. Nothing like 1t has been seen here
In years. The hit of the evening was the
chorus of "poor relations" in the beginning
of tine second act. "Paola" will be repeated
tonight and It will doubtless receive an i'm
msnsc audience, now that its excellence ia
assured.
THE yAIpIs sIsrRRs' NOVELTY COMPANY.
The Grand was crowded to the doors last
night by an enthusiastic audience, eager to
see the vaidis Sisters Novelty company.
This is one of the very best vaudeville CONS
panies that have ever appeared in New Ha
ven, and to Manager John D. Hopkins belongs
the credit of gathering together SO fine an
array of frst-class artists. One of the prin-
oipal features was Mons Bellac, who, assisted
by Mile Aouida, displayed feats Of necro-
NANCY and equilibrium. The Vaidis twin
sisters did their trilling evolutions on the
new improved "trapezone rotaire." They
have improved their act wonderfully, the in

J.Z. Little appeared as Grizzly Nabob and
Robert Stanly in his sensational melo-drams
at Procsor's Opera House last night. The
stage setting of the piece was fair. Mr.. Little
took his part fairly, as did also James E.

bright and catchy. Annie Russell as Mabel

JIM THE PENMAN.
It is rare that the English nobility excel in
playwriting. Since Lord Lytton wrote 1.-THE
Lady of Lyons" there has been NO success
equal to that by the Baronet, who is the
author of "Jim the Penman." There is nc
question that it is to-day one of the mos
complete plays of modern times. It deals In
