Entertainments.

"The Bostonians' will produce "Robin
 Hood" next Tuesday evening and Wednes- day afternoon. Wednesday evening ''Dor-
 othy" will be presented. Of a recent pro-
 duction the New York Commercial Adver-
 tiser says: ''The work of the company is
 so much superior to what has been given
 to the public of late; it is so distinct and characteristic in the musical treatment and
 story telling, and it is so entirely different
 because there is purpose, method and con-
 sistency prevailing from the polyglot kind of light or comic or eccentric opera we have been treated to in so many instances, that Robin Hood is welcome, and the that score. The verdict of New York is that the 'Bostonians' have made tremend- ous success. ."-Richard Nevelle in Com mercial Advertiser
 "Jane," presented by Charles Frohmans company, will be at the Hyperion on Fri day and Saturday, February 19 and 20, with Saturday matinee "Jane" sparkles with wholesome humor-.the humor that is prompted by legitimate effort. MT. Froh- man sends an excellent company, including Elaine Elson, Frank Lane, Ed. Collier, Franc e6 Stevens ana others.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE. Harry Williams Own Speciality company from Pittsburg have been playing continu ally to large houses. It is most excellent vaudeville company, containing some very skilled and clever artists. The last per formsnces occur this afternoon and even iug.
 "A Barrel of Money" will be here the l first half of next week. An exchange ! srys: A perfect play with peculiar plot, produced by perfect players, with perfect Barrel of Money" the new American com edy from the pen of Herbert Hall Wins
 low. It is one of the big successes of the current theatrical season.
 PRocroR's OPERA HOUSE.
 There may have been stronger and better
 constructed comedies presented here than 'Mr. Wilkinson's Widows" and stronger companies than the one which appeared in l that play last evening, but we doubt if there has been a more thoroughly enjoya-
 ble entertainment given here this season.
 This liveliest of comedies is an adaptation from the French play "Feu Toupinel," by MT. William Gillette. This gentleman is
 8 clever playwright and he has succeeded
 in retaining all the fun and ludicrous | situations of the Paris version,
 the American edition which is in the least objectionable And this very clever, very lively play was in the hands of
 the liveliest and cleverist company of art
 ists seen here in many long day. Miss Essie Tittell, Miss Nina Hayward, Miss | Minnie Tittell, Mir. Frank Norcross and MT. Neil O'Brien had the most prominent | characters and therefore deserve special | mention, but the minor parts were equally
 we'll taken. The best thing about Miss | Tittell's impersonation of Mir. Wilkin- | same may be said of MT. Norcross, whose | admirable conception of "Mr Percival Per rin" kept the audience in a roar during the 1 entire evening. All the members of the
 company were practically unknown here, but now that we have made their acquaint-
 ance we shall be happy to see them again
 at their earliest convenience. The per formance will be repeated this afternoon ! and evening.
 Nellie McHenry comes Wednesday night in "A Night With the Circus" FOURTH WEEK OF THE sreDDARD LEG
 
 MT. Stoddard has closed his third week
 at the Hyperion with audiences large at | first and steadily increasing. Next week
 he resumes his old world wanderings. He
 will give on Monday and Thursday even
 ings of next week his new lecture derived
 from his memories of travel in the Holy
 Land. Those who were so profoundly impressed last year by the lect urer's story
 of the Passion Play will hardly wish to | miss the opportunity to see and hear
 about the land where the real scenes de- picted in that play occurred. While | travelling there MT. Stoddard was struck
 with the anomalous position of the Jews l in their own land and of the injustice 1 with which the civilized world over, they | have been treated ,and he takes occasion in
 this lecture to say word in appreciation ! of what they have been and now are.
 The week of February 15 will be the ] last of Ar. Stoddard's stay here and his
 subject will be Egypt and the Nile" Then no more Stoddard lectures for two years.
 THE CITY GUARD BALL. The eighth annual masquerade and fancy
 dress ball of the New Haven City Guard
 will be held at the ermory Monday even- ing. The members of the company have had the admission tickets on sale for sev-
 eral weeks, during which time the sale has
 been sufficient to guarantee very large at l tendance at the carnival. The tickets for the reserved seats in the gallery are now
 on sale. Considerable sport will be brought out by the competition for the prizes, par ticularly the contest for the best character mask and most comical mask.
 The following prizes are offered: Twen- ty-five dollars for the best group of not less than six, $20 for the handsomest cos tune worn by a lady, $15 for best charac- ter mask, $10 for handsomest costume worn by gentleman.
