HYPERION THEARR.

"Davy Crockett" last evening was at once pleasure and a disappointment. MT. Frank Mayo is one of the very foremost players of the day, and he is certainly the most graceful and most fascinating actor that visits New Haven. A magnificent physique, a thorough knowledge of his art, genius that renders his acting equal ly effective in such widely dissimilar roles as "Nordeck," "DArtagnan," "Davy that once truly loved is never forgotten, all these qualifications and a certain indescribable charm which charac- terize all his impersonations make him the favorite of favorites with the writer and with thousands of admirers from Maine to California No fault can be found with the play. It is indeed a "symphony of leave and mosses' and realistic American poem of true courage and honest love. But, notwithstanding tho unusual merit of both the star and the play, the performance was very unsstisfy- ing. The company, with the exception of "Oscar Crampten," was simply disreputa- ble. How SO sterling an actor possessing such 6 charming if somewhat time-worn play could have harnessed himself up with such unsupportable support is past comprehension. May Mir Mayo visit us again soon, but may he ap- pear in such plays as 'Ingomar," t'Nor- deck" and others worthy of his genius; and above all, may he have @ competent company-something with Kathryn Kidder and MT. John H. Taylor in it. He may not then be successful, but he will at least deserve success.
 "The City Directory" comes for a return engagement March 26.
