Grand Opern House.

"Down in Dixie" will be repeated this afternoon and evening. It was the attraction at the Grand last night and well merits the large patronage it is receiving, A vivid portrayal of life in the seductive south, united to a melodramatic story full of thrilling incidents, is comprised in this new play by Scott Marble, which Thomas H. Davis and William T. Keogh are producing with remarkable show of scenery and other accessories. South ern landscapes, with homesteads, cot ton fields and negro's cabins, consti- ute the background of much of the action. A large elemnt of rollicldng gaiety Is imparted by a band of real plckaninnies, who not only play in- struments in concert but also give ex- hibitions in dancing and engage in sports common to the light-hearted darkey boys of the south. one of the most thrilling scenes In the play is that i'm which the heroine rescues a young naval officer from being crushed to death in a real cotton compress, where the villains have bound him. The rescue arouses great enthusiasm. Down in Dixie" is being enjoyed by large audiences in attendance.

 Another large house greeted Palmer Cox's Brownies" again last evening. All the various characters that the pictures have made so familiar are pres ent from the we'll known dude to the Chinaman, and they all have the pleas ing society of a considerable number of very good looking Fays, who are necessary not alone to the story but to afford a little much needed rest to the Brownies now and then.
 There is a magnificence about the scenery and an artistic richness of cos tuning which constituted notable feat ures of the production. The audience was very appreciatiVe. It was caught at once, and throughout the evening de- manded the repetition of nearly every musical effect, and the most of them well deserved to be repeated. It Is ap- parent from the success of last evening that the Brownies have greatly enlarg- ed their field of operations, They will be none the less pleasing to the chil- dren, but on the stage they have come to captivate everybody Certainly it must be set down that the show here also is a great success.
 To-day is Hartford day. and a large party will be in attendance at the mat inee. Tomorrow is Bridgeport day,and large party, including many of Bridge ports leading citizens and their fami- lies will attend the evening perform ance.
 On Friday there will be a special mat inee to accommodate the Naugatuek valley people, and also the large demand in this city.
 All should remember that there is also a matinee on Saturday, Each evening there will no doubt be crowded houses.
