s'The New Wing" a musical farce
comedy, will be presented next Tuesday
evening. The piece has been great sue
cess in Boston, where it has had months
run at the Columbia theater.
Lord Tennyson's poetic comedy, "The
Forresters," will be the attraction October
4 and 5. This, it will be remembered, was
a literary and society sensation in New
York during the spring of this year. A
sensation which was received and accentu
ated in Boston, Washington, Philadelphia
and Chicago. The presentation of this
work will necessitate the employment of
almost double company of singers, as
we'll as actors, and combined with the
gorgeous electric effects, will create an ex
pense which only the most liberal response
can cover. The production, will therefore
teste, and most exalted appreciation of all
that is elegant and exquisite in poetry and
music. It is the masterpiece of the poet
laureate of England, and the only dramatic
success he has achieved during his four
score years.
Digby Bell and his excellent company
presented "Jupiter" to large and apprecia-
tive audience last evening. The music of
the opera is of more than ordinary merit
and is replete with catchy airs. The cos
tunes and scenery are magnificent and in
consequence the audience was exceedingly
we'll pleased. Digby Bell took the dual
role of Jupiter and the 'cobbler and in the
confusing identities of these two individu-
ais the audience is treated to many laugh
able incidents. Laura Joyce Bell as PAN
dora sings charmingly and her contralto
solo in the first act and her solo in the trio
in the second act were among the best
features in the whole opera The chorus
was well drilled and its members did their
part of the work exceedingly weH.c Jo-
sephine Knapp in the part of Sergius. a
oharioteer, was excellent, while Hilda and
Maud Rollins combined attractive person
alities with welltrained voices. The two
Law to Stop it" and ';It's Very Old Gag,
But it Went" were excellently rendered
and won repeated and well-deserved en-
cores.

"Lynwood" with It's we'll told story will
be the attraction at the New Haven opera
house next week. Its scenes are laid In
Kentucky at the time of our civil war; but
1t ia not military drama or q war drama,
