Scslchi, we'll known by her admirable
interpretations which we have had oppor-
tunity to hear and see while she was with
the Colonel Mapleson opera company, will
also be member of this company; Mile.
Pettigiani, although unknown to New
Haven has..met with many triumphs in roles
which demand brilliant execution, and the
part of Felina, most difficult one, gives
her plenty of opportunities.
The tenor will be Signor FernandoVa lero,
who possesses sweet and strong voice,
and who has been creator of the part of
Turridu in "CavalIeria Rusticana," the
opera which created such q sensation
recently in the operate world. Mr.Vinche,

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
'Master and Man" was produced to one
| of the largest audiences of the season last
evening and scored an instantaneous sue
cess. The play is replete with strong and
realistic scenes, ono of which, thess.realistic
and stirring scene of the furnace in the
fourth act, is one OF the most sensational
episodes ever shown on the mimic stage.
The plot is continually developing new and
somewhat unexpected features. There are
also number of bright and pleasing
the action of the play. The company,
headed by Dominick Murray, Frank Rob-
erts and Miss Margaret Fseley, is one of
the strongest seen at the house this season
and as a consequence a most enjoyable
| performance was the result. The play will
| be repeated this and tomorrow evenings
and tomorrow afternoon. The anvil seen
| is highly effective.
Miss Hattie Bernard Chase, the clever
| little soub1ette, with the only trained
| team of reindeer known to be in existence,
will appear in "Unele's Darling the last
three nights of the week.
PRocToR's OPERA HOUSE.
Lewis Morrison's Faust company pleased
a good audience last night. The
scene on The Broken was a delightful
surprise, and the apotheosis of Marguerite
was beautiful scenic picture. Mr.. Morri-
son announced to the audience his inabil-
ity to appear, he being ill with severe
cold and his understudy took the role
of the deep-dyed Satanic parsonage of
Goethe's ''Faust." The personifcation
given is perhaps the correct one.
| The evil one is only evil in disguise; he is
| the embodiment of mirthfulness and hilari-
| ty, suiting himself to the disposition of
each and all. He is in his own diplomatic
way all things to all men, SO that by any
led away from the path of righteousness
by morose, ungainly, disagreesble per-
| sonagea From such the first instinct of all
would be to turn away, but such charac-
| ter as that presented is indeed a sweet
tempter. The company Is fully competent
to the requirements of the play, and
most enjoyable performance is given. The
play will be repeated this evening when
Mr.. Morrison hopes to be able to appear.
"Fritz in Ireland" with J. K. Emmett
in the title role, comes tomorrow evening.
Robert Mantell in the "Corsican Brothers."
Thursday evening, and Carmencita, Friday
evening.
