POLES yyonderland rheater,

The return to straight variety in this
weeks bill at Polls Wonderland thea
ter brought out very large audiences
yesterday, both afternoon and evening.
1t was quite evident, from the enthusi-
asm shown, that the various specialties
were appreciated. Miss Kitty Mitchell
came in for much applause. The dam
ty little coincidence has a most fascin-
ating way about her. She is animated,
vivacious, sprightly, magnetic and en-
thusiastic, and Is the picture of stage
life and gayety. She is destined to be-
come quite as great a favorite in New
Haven as she is in New York. Mark
Sullivan and Miss Rillie Deaves, who
constitute the second great feature, are
a very clever pair of entertainers. Mr..
Sullivan is bright genius, his remark
able limitations and highly artistic dam
cling stamping him as an ideal vaude-
vile artist. Other clever entertainers
on the bill are Johnson, Davenport and
Lorella, hasten, Duey and Hasten, Mr..
Coakley and Miss Huested, Fisher and
Carroll, Mr. Weston and Miss Beasley,
Collins and Collins, and John and Lulu

NEW COMIC OPERA 1899"
Features of Its Initial Presentation
Last Evening at the Hyperion.

Features of It's Initial Presentation
Last Evening at the Hyperion.
The new comic opera, "1999," which
is being prepared for presentation at
the Fifth Avenue theater in New York,
was given it's first performance at the
Hyperion theater, last evening. The
cast contains several well known names
and the interest in the production was
sufficient to attract good sized house.
BILE to pass judgment on the merits of
the piece. The music, which is by Ed
ward Hoist, Is quite bright and there
are several tunes that might become
popular There are many good ideas
In the book, but they are almost lost
sight Of in the crudeness Of the whole.
The production is lavish in scenic eff
fects and the costuming has been cost
ly. The chorus is more than usually
large and capable. The principals are
efficient in their various roles and when
they have acted together longer they
will make a good ensemble.
Edwin Stevens has the principal COM
edy role and his temperance in comic
opera will be hailed with delight.
Charles Butler as his valet Kip, is
amusing, as he usually is. He was last
seen here in cockney role in 1.-THE
Founding" Vita Carrie was little
disappointing after the glowing ac-
counts In the English press of her per-
formances over the water. Her voice
is well managed, but she made nothing
of her role. Alice Holbrook had a part
that was no better written, but she put
a good deal of life into 1t. Mathtlde
Cottrelly as a Spanish countess did the
best work of the evening. She is al
ways good She will long be remem-
bered as Madame Vinara" in "Trilby.'
The rest were competent and the cast
ought to be effective when things get
into shape
Several prominent theatrical people
witnessedthe production. Among them
We're Mr.. Harrison Grey Fiske, Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Miner, (Mrs. Miner was
Miss Annie O'Neil of the Crane COM
pany), the author, Mr.. Ensign, and the
composer, Mr. Hoist.
Miss Lillian Russell and Miss Della
Fox telegraphed that they would not
be present because of dress rehearsal
for His Wedding Day" They will
probably attend to-night's perform

quently this is the case. A woman CAN
not be a happy, helpful aniable wife who
suffers from weakness and disease at the
very mainsprings of her nature. Pity
may grow up to take its place, but love
itself seldom survives where this is the
case. If woman will, she may always
hold her place in a mans mind and
heart. If she will take the right care of
herself in wonlanly way she will never
lose her rightful inheritance, a hus-
bands love.
The best of all known medicines for wo
men is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
1t acts directly on the important and deli
cate organs that make wifehood and
motherhood possible and makes them
strong and we'll. 1t allays inflammation,
heals liberation, soothes pain and tones
up and builds up tired nerves. 1t pre-
, pares for almost pangless motherhood and
insures healthy children. Thousands of
women who were sickly, nervous, fretful
invalids are now happy, cheerful and
helpful wives as a result of its use. All
good medicine dealers keep it and there
is nothing "just as good" Any dealer
who tries to persuade you that there IS.

your welfare and health.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are safe sure,
speedy, permanent cure for constipation. They

| tic. They never gripe. Druggists sell them,
aud no other pills are as g2od.-

Grand Opera House.

The ever popular Ned Harrigan pre-
scented his old time success, "Old Law
ender" last night to a large and appre-
ciative audience at the Grand opera
house This piece has been presented
for many years and each season makes
it more popular than ever. His "Old
Lavender" is his masterpiece, bringing
out the subdued pathos of the man and
proving that he can run the whole ga
nut of human passions, blending and
really bringing out in his acting the
wall of the soul of the fallen creature.
During the action of the piece many of
his old popular songs are sung by Mr..
Harrigan. Two new songs were intro
duced last night. They were written
by George F. Braham. They are en-
titled Don't Tell Maria and She's
My Girl" They were heartily encored,
and may soon be heard upon the streets
as popular airs. The supporting COM
pany is excellent and includes Mr.. Dave
Braham, jr., son of the late Dave Bra
ham, who was for many years the lead
er of Harrigan & Harris companies;
Miss Hattie Moore and other old men,
bers of the company; also III. ]. Keo~-
