Entertainments.
HYPERION,

A small audience witnessed j. K. Emmett
in "Fritz" at the Hyperion last night,
many undoubtedly having been kept away
by the state of the weather. The play is
too well known to need description here.
The star is graceful young man, with
twinkling eye and pleasant smile, which
recalls the elder Emmett, and he sang and
danced in a very acceptable manner. His
voice is not strong, but it is sweet, and the
songs which his father rendered famous
have not yet lost their charm. The COM
pany is competent one, especially Miss
Emily Lytton, the leading support, and the
young people. The little Eve year old girl
who played the child Lena, Is one of the
cleverest youngsters on the stage. This is
her fourth season as Emmett, the elder, had
her when she had to be carried through
her part. She captured the house last
night by the nonchalance with which che
sang and danced a miniature version of
boom decay" and 1t is said that
she acts. when off the stage with all the
| composure of woman of forty. Mr.. EN-
met has in preparation an elaborate scenic
production in which he will star next sea-
son. It is being written for him by Sidney
Resented.
Rose Coghlan, supported by Charles
Coghlan, appears at this house tomorrow
evening in Diplomacy" An exchange in
speaking of the play says: 1t combines all
the qualities which are essentials in thor
oughly successful play-ingenuity of plot,
simplicity and yet effectiveness of con-
struction, diversity of action, sequence and
consequence in incidental and episodical
illustration, possibility, probability and
FEASIBILITY, Naturalization of character,
human sympathy and sustained dramatic
interest. In the very first scene of the
play the thread of the story is taken up,
and it ia never dropped until the final cur
tain falls.
Richard Mansfield will appear on Friday
evening in s'Beau Brummell." It has been
truly said of this remarkable actor that he
has a fine, intense nature, with tremendous
intellectual exaltation and fiery energy.
On Saturday afternoon only he will appear
in dramatization of Nathaniel Haw-
thorne's fascinating story "Ths Scarlet
Letter" Mr.. Joseph Hatton, the English
novelist who dramatized the version which
Mr.. Mansfield presents, has wisely followed
the book very closely and in consequence
has made a success. The sale of seats is
now open.

20, 81 and % will be the great success
"The Soudan."
Rosina Vokes comes on December 80 and

Vreeland's Minstrels will appear on

thing to amuse and entertain.

THE NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.

of its cast. It is very strongly play for
families and society people, and 1t Is an
enjoyable evenings program for ALL Miss
