HYPERION ThKATRR.


 An event of the theatrical season was the return of MT. Stuart Robson in his papulsr comedy, "The Henrietta" AL though this has been presented here sever al times before, it continues to draw to such an extent that every seat in the thea ter was occupied. It was the opinion of some that the support was not equal to that of former seasons, but on the whole the large audience seemed we'll pleased and to enjoy the play to it's utmost. MT. Rob sons art is peculiarly his own and not to be initiated. Only those who have seen him can appreciate the charm of his man. ner. Mir. George S. Woodward portrayed Nicholas Vanalstyne, the old Nick of the street, and Bertie, the Lambs father. It is a leading role and was well enacted. The part of Agnes, Bertie's love, was acted ex- celiently by Miss Olive May. The coming of this popular troup of comedians is all ways looked for with great deal of eX- pectation.
 Of the Jefferson Florence combination, which is to appear this evening in Sheri- dams comedy, "The Rivals" little need be said. A rich treat is in store for all who may attend. The advance sale of seats has been exceptionally large, yet few good seats remain unsold.
 Russells comedians have been rein forced this season by some recruits from the stage of negro minstrelsy. Only one of them, Luke Schoolcraft, appears with black face this season. He gives too fine a portrayal of the old time plantation negro to leave off burnt cork for white face com edy. This company will bring "The City Directory" here Friday evening next.
 "Niobe," Abbott and Teal's great Bijou theater success, comes November 4.
 Next Monday evening the Boston Sym phony orchestra will appear, the only time in New Haven this season. Arthur Nikisch, who created such furore of en- thusiasm here last year will conduct the orchestra. Mime. Lillian Nordica has been secured az the soloist for the occasion and her wonderful soprano voice will no doubt captivate her hearers.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 The realistic melodrama, "The Midnight Alarm" was again presented to an i'm mense audience last evening and in every way repeated it's well-merited success ot the evening previous. In addition to ar exceptionally competent company, tn, production is notable for the large amoun of special beautiful scenery used during the action of the play. "The Midnigh Alarm" will be repeated this afternoon and evening.
 1.-The Fairies We'll" which come Thursday evening and remains for the bal ance of the week, is strong in dramatic Ia terest and contains a great deal that ii new in plot, character and situation. Int action runs smoothly and the dialogue i easy and bright. Some minor incidents based on 6 Halloween legend of a we'll il whose waters any young woman may SC the face of her future husband, give tn play it's name. The scenery exhibited new and elegant, particularly the picture
