Evans in their famous roles, "Old Hoss" and q, McCorker." It will be presented tonight Hoey has been training all summer for this moment ous occasion and has raised a growth of "Old Hoss' whiskers that are a de- light to every eye but barbers'. His worldwide circle of friends are pre- pairing to give him a great reception. His new song, called The Diamond King" he anticipates, will score as great a success as he obtained with the famous song about Monte Carlo." Manager Evans, return to the stage is especially noteworthy on account of the distinction and popularity he has achieved as one of the shrewdest and most enterprising of metropolitan man. agers.

Grand Opera House.

'"The Merry World" which made such a pronounced hit when produced here last season at the Hyperion the ater, will be the attraction at the Grand opera house this and tomorrow even ings, with special Wednesday matinee The production this year is on even a grander scale than last, inasmuch as many additions have been made to the program and the entire piece rewritten and brought up to date.
 New Haven theater-goers are, of course, familiar with the character Of the performance and will remember with much pleasure the laughable bur- lesques on "Trilby," Madam Sans Gene" "The Little Trooper" Robin Hood" Wang" and all the more sue cessful operatic and dramatic enter tainments of the day. So many new and bright features have been added to "The Merry World" this season that 1t is practically a. new production. A grand ballet under the leadership of Mile. Catherine Bartho, premier dan seuse from the Imperial theater, Mos COW, is one of the interpolations of the present season, and the magnificent costumes and bewildering revolutions are thoroughly enjoyable.
 Annabelle, the worlds greatest trans formation dancer, with her beautiful light effects and costumes, the dance of the Geisha girls, the trick bicycle riding of Miss Anna Sylvester, the la dies military band under the direction of Miss Anna Burroughs, champion lady cornetist of the world; the eccen- tric dancing comedian, MT. Benn F. Grinnell, in his wonderful hypnotic dance; the acrobatic comedian, MT. Louis Wesley, in his popular funny isms, are some of the new additions to "The Merry World" program. The company numbers sixty people, and the complete production, with the entire equipment of scenery, costumes and ef- fleets, will be brought to the Grand opera house, and the performance giv- en in the same elaborate manner which characterized it's run of 150 nights at the Casino theater New York
 Peter F. Daley will be greeted with enthusiasm when he presents "A Good Thing" at the Grand opera house the last three days of this week. The new piece in which the humorous comedian will be seen Is said to be absolutely funny from beginning to end. The dialogue is in the brightest vein of John J. McNally, author of "The Wild ow Jones' and "A Country Sport" There will be matinee on Saturday.
