THE WATER QUEEN.

Kiralfy's gorgeous fairy spectacle, "The
Water Queen" will be the opening attrac-
ton at the Hyperion theater on Monday
and Tuesday evenings of next week. 1.-THE
Water Queen" has been thoroughly revised,
new specialties and ballots introduced, and
the scenic effects specially prepared for
this production.
THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
The first big spectacle of the season will
be the representation of "The Bottom of
the Sea- at Proctors New Haven opera
house this and tomorrow evenings and
Saturday matinee. This attraction was
especially selected by Manager Proctor to
start his season with a big boom. The
representation is to be mounted here by
new and marvellous scenery, painted by
John H. Young of the Broadway theater,
and is said to be both novel and attractive.
The spectacle has been running at the
Porte St Martin, Paris, and created such
favorable comment there that it has been
secured by Messrs. Webster and Brady,
who have been enormously successful. The
company is unusually strong and embraces
besides others David Murray, Eugene
O'Rourke, George w. Barnum, Adolph
jackson, T. H. Fitzpatrick, Lillian Lee,
Bella Douglass and Reta O'Neill
An exchange says: "The Bottom of the
Sea-" given last evening it's first perform
snce of the season, is emphatically scenic
production, relying for its success upon
the stage pictures and illusions presented
rather than upon plot or specially artistic
action. The piece should enjoy brilliant
season, for much canvas, new and all of
it handsome, was shown. Especially pleas
ing was the steamer set in the third act,
and the series of tableaux comprising the
fourth act. This last was unlike anything
ever seen here-a decided novelty, in fact
A description, or even an attempt at one,
would utterly fail to give an idea of its
features. It must be seen to be appreci-
ated The second scene of the first act was
also good. The story is fairly interesting,
and has the merit of freedom from heavi-
ness.
