Entertainments.
aoRMAN'S MINsTRELs.

The appearance of the Germans at the
Hyperion on Friday night will undoubtedly
fill the theater. The departure made by the
Germans from the old style of minstrelsy is
80 radical that it excites surprise. 1t required
no little assurance to take the risk attending
such revolution of custom. The half cir
Gle with the comedians on the ends manipu-
latipg the bones and tambourines, the inter
locutor in the center, with the soloists and
quartette on either side and the whole backed
by the orchestra on raised platforms, has
been SO long identified with minstrelsy that
it seemed impossible to do without it, but
the Germans took the step and wiped out the
circle but retained all its features minus the
bones and tambourines.
AN EXHIBITION OF ILLUSIONS.
Morris illusions are drawing crowds at the
store 010 Chapel street. The entertainment
consists of ''The Living Mermaid" an opti-
cal illusion, Edison's talking dolls, an cleo
trio plano, blood-suoking vampire from the
West Indies, the great statue mystery,
Psyche, the wonderful automaton, and other
features. Entertainments are given after
| noon and evening. All the features of the
| show are attractive and handled with great
| skill by the proprietor, Mr.. Morris, a Guilt
waited young Chicago gentleman.
| THATCHER's MINsTRELs.
| George Thatcher's Ministries opened the
season at Proctor's opera house last evening
and delighted large audience by giving one
| of the best minstrel performances that has
| been witnessed in New Haven for many q
month. The singing, though most of the
songs were old, was excellent, and the audi
ence showed their appreciation of the differ
ont o1oo hu onnIoudirr than Of
ly. The organization seems to have corner
on the musical talent of the minstrel stage,
an attribute which the management will find
to be the most telling of the whole performs
ance. Even in these days of spectacular
minstrelsy, the display was a dazzling one
to the audience, AZ they gazed upon the per-
formers when the curtain rose. The orches-
ira and singers were attired in Spanish torea.
dor suits of black velvet, trimmed with gold
lace, while the end men were sttired in the
long-tailed coat and tight-6tting trousers, cos-
tunes of the early part of this century.
The olio was not far behind the frst part in
excellence, its principal feature being the
first appearance in this country of Rapoli, a
European equilibrist. His act on the ladder
standing perpendicular on platform was a
blood thrilling affair. but was done with such
consun mate grace as to affect the spectators
with no other feeling than admiration.
Frank La Mondue's act on the slack wire
was cleverly performed, and Wood and
Shepard caused much merriment by the new
and original features which they introduced
in their well known musical act. George
Thatcher was as funny as ever and convulsed
the audience with laughter time and time
again by his witty remarks and original
stories. The show was sterling one in
every respect and proved to be an excellent
entertainment throughout, and the house was
packed to the doors despite the humid heat.
