Entertainments.


The dazzling spectacle, 1.-THE Brown
les" is with us again and was welcomed
last evening by very large audience,
During the absence of the company
many new features have been added,
which make it one of the grandest at
fractions that win visit our city this
entire season. All of the old scenery
has been retained, except that in the
second act, which is new. and more
beautiful than the old. This elegant
fairy spectacle delights old and young
and the management have introduced
a score or more of very handsome and
shapely girls, and a great deal of music,
including a wealth of clever special
ties, which We're received with great
favor last evening. The scenery alone
is worth the price of admission and it
is without question among the finest
that has ever been seen in this city.
One of the principal scenes Is the palace
court yard. During the bridal cere-
mony thousands of tissue paper roses
are scattered on the stage. Another
scene is the open sea with the Brownies
adrift. The finale of the last act, a
night in Brownieland, was simply
grand. During this act the aerial bal
let is introduced, and it makes one
of the most beautiful stage pictures
| ever presented in this city. The cos
tunes worn by the numberless young
| women are both beautiful and elegant.
No one in this city can afford to miss
this grand attraction. Last night the
entire performance went with a dash.
The principals and chorus all did finely
and each song was encored again and
again. Frank Deshon, an old New Ha-
| ven favorite, as king Stanislaus, i"
! the clever comedian of the company,
| showed his ability and made the most
| out of a part which just suited him.
His local hits We're heartily encored.
| The ever pleasing Ida Mule again
made a great hit as Dame Drusilda.
| Inez Mecusker as Queen Titania of
THE Brownies" was a most excellent
| singer. Sol. Solomon as the dude
made a great hit in his song and dance
| and was loudly applauded. Charles
1 Hogan, the Brownie policeman, was
| also most excellent. The four Richards,
! the celebrated acrobats, were again &C
! corded hearty reception. Among the
| New Workers present were Palmer Cox
| c. B. Jefferson and Mr.. Klaw, the
owner of 1.-THE Brownies" This even
| ing will be the Brownies Cambridge
night. To-morrow's matinee will be for
| the Brownies excursion and Saturday
night will be the Brownies Yale night
| There has been a very large sale OF
| tickets for tonight and in fact all the
performances.
| Rhea comes on Tuesday evening an6
will present her great success, "Jose.
phine." When the New York Herald
honored Rhea with the declaration tha
the great artistic looked every inch ar
empress, on her appearance in New
York as Josephine, the distinguished
compliment was recognized as merit
led, as Rhea, when in the Imperia
1 robes, and wearing the diamond coro
met, presents a wonderful resemblance
to Josephine as painted by David. Ii
the fourth act Rhea again presents ,
wonderful and lifelike picture of Jose
lphine as painted by the renowned LIE
THERE. Rhea aims to duplicate tn
brilliant atmosphere Of the Napoleoni
court, and each character bears exac
resemblance to the original historical
Figure. Sale of seats open Saturday.
