last evening at the Hyperion was indeed treat to the lovers of good music in this city. The large theater was we'll filled and every number had an enthusiastic re- ception. Miss Heine and Miss Howe were both encored and Miss Howe received beautiful basket of flowers and boquet. The Schumann male quartet also received 8 double encore. Miss Howe has a won derfully rich voice that combines purity with strength and breadth of range. She manages with consummate skill She will be warmly welcomed here again should she give another concert here. She was assisted by company that was superior in every respect.
 The comic opera, "Ship Ahoy," which is to be presented this evening, under the auspices of Pyramid lodge, A. o. U. w., is one of the best light operas brought out in years and is having great success. The red tape and formalities of life in the United States navy are depicted in an amusing and satirical manner. The company is made up of the same artists that made such hits when the opera was produced here short time ago. A large house for tonight is indicated.
 ''The Henrietta" will be produced Tues day evening, October 27, by MT. Stuart Robson and his excellent company. "The Henrietta" deserves the success it has enjoyed throughout the country, because it is one of the brightest comedies that has been seen in many years.

 GRAND OPERA HOUSE..
 One of the best vaudeville entertainments seen this season was that given by the Nelsons' Great World combination last evening. The various acts and specialties of the different members of the company were in the main novel and pleasing to the large audience which completely filled the house. One of the most enjoyable features of the program was the novel act which served to introduce the Casanius quartette in songs, dances, etc., and which fairly took the audience by storm. Of course the best feature was the work of the cele- brated Nelson family of acrobats, seven in number, who accomplish the most intricate feats in gymnastics with marvellous skill and precision. The company appear again this and tomorrow evenings and to-mor- row afternoon.
 The Lucier minstrels, headed by the Lucier Brothers and Lew Benedict, will appear for one night only, Thursday, Oc- tober 22.
 Amusement lovers appear to be on the alert for the coming of the celebrrted mel odrama, ''The Great Metropolis" which nor,na aa Fridov and Cotur1ou ,,avk with matinee Saturday. The burning of the Fifth Avenue theater in New York is the reason why this piece will be seen here and in 8 few other cities in this immediate neighborhood. Although "The Great Metropolis" enjoyed 8 protracted engagement covering period of twenty five weeks at one theater in New York city, it was to have gone into the Fifth Avenue for another long run. Verify, Git is an ill wind that blows nobody good"
 PRoCToR's OPERA HOUSE.
 Mile. Rhea in her new play, which was presented here last evening, was greeted by a we'll filled house, full of expectation at seeing her in @ new role. "La Czarina" is play of fully as much historical inter est as Josephine. in which Mile. Rhea was so popular, and of great deal more of tragedy. Picturing scenes of life at the Russian court in the reign of Peter the Great, 50 notorious for his iron will and
 fierce disposition, ample scope is afforded for play of forcible action. Mile. Rhea's slight foreign accent lends peculiar zest and charm to her speech. She is as beau tiful as ever and her costumes are magnif- icent and historically correct. The inter est of the play centers round love in &vsnw Hofx {ha love for the czar is made cold by his cruelty and young Polander, Count Sapisha. MT. William Harris as Peter the Great, played his part admirably, while MT. J. R. Amory as Ad- miral Villerbeck won considerable applause from the audience. Miss Una Aben as Olga, daughter of the prime minister, is also deserving of special mention. To say the least Mile. Rhea is supported by an ex- cellent company throughout The scene of the play is laid entirely at the winter palace in St. Petersburg. The play is translated from the French of Eugene Soribe. Nile Rhea's special forte seems to be in the historical schools of plays, and she merits the hearty patronage of the New Haven people at the performance this even ing which will also be the closing one here.
 There is perhaps no piece in Margaret Mather's whole repertoire in which she is seen to better advantage than in Mosen- thsl's remarkable tragedy of stLeah, the Forsaken." It was in this that she sur passed the success made in Romeo and Juliet, :" and of this that Nym Crinkle said Tt is the only Leah of the present day worthy of commendation." sLeah, the Forsaken" will be seen single night only, tomorrow evening. The double bill of comedy and tragedy two new plavs wilJ be seen Thursday night.
