THE NEW GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
"The Fire PATROL" new melodrama by
I. W. Hsrkins, jr., drew large house at
the New Grand opera house last night. In
witnessing the piece the spectator is taken
from Deadwood to Now York and back
again to Colorado, where the separated
lovers are happily reunited. The climaxes
of the various acts are thrilling and are of
the sort that are sure to arouse the enthu-
aiasm of tho boys in the gallery. In one
case an insensible man is placed beneath
a ponderous ore crusher and the machine
set in motion, but to no purpose, as the
hero appears in the nick of time. Two
other acts end with the timely arrival of
the fire patrol in season to discomfort the
villainous part of the cast and to win
thunders of applause from the audience,
W. W. Bittner did well as the Samson like
miner, who was strong enough to sustain
the weight of an ore-crusher on his shout
der and whose nature was filed with
sympathy for all in misfortune. ''The
Fire Patrol" will be presented this and to-
morrow evenings, with matinee Wednesday
at 2 O'Clock. Matinee prices 10c, 30, 300.
"Her Husband" will be the attraction on
Thursday and Friday, with a matinee on
Saturday.
NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
"Chimes of Normandy" and the Marie
Bell Opera company made q pleasant i'm
preston at the New Haven opera house
last evening before an excellent audience,
both in size and quality. Probably Mr..
harry Nelson, tenor, who sang "Jean
Grenicheux," and Mr.. Frank D. Nelson
land, by the way, the two Nelson's are not
related to each other) did as noticeably
good work as any members of the company.
Mr.. Frank Nelson is thoroughly known to
the musical public of this CITY in connec-
ton with his work in the production of
"Pinafore" Last season. He sings the part
of 'Henri, Marquis of Corneville," excel
lently, and made pronounced hit in the
role. Essie Barton played "Serfolette,"
with plenty of life and Arohruss and Lillian
Wren prettily looked "Jeanne," and sung
her song nicely; Miss Lee Vern Winthrop
makes good looking "Gertrude," with
little to do. The choruses are fairly sung,
and the performance moves with smooth
ness. Miss Beatrice Goldie filed the soprano
prima donna role of "Germaine' accept
ably. She has appeared with the Bennett
& Moulton company as prima donna in the
past In this city. Mr.. Maurice Hogeman,
as "Gaspard," has good Characterization
of the part, and acts It well. The same
opera will be given to day and tomorrow,
and the bohemian Girl" will be sung on
Thursday.
