Hyperion Theater. TuE MAN O. WARS MAN.

InOnaS II. Sled SCOEeu dllOlneF ue- cided hit at the Hyperion last night when the great war drama "A Man O. Wars Man" was again presented to a crowded house. This evening will be the last opportunity to see this excit- of it's class seen here in some time. Tho plot hinges on the war between Spain an actual sea combat between Spanish and American vessels. MT. Shea as Captain Jack Conway has a part that fits him to perfection, and he, ably supported by Miss Flaro Fairchild as Elinor Denleigh, Henry Testa as Cap tain Havilands, does some fine acting. and is rewarded with the greatest com pliment a stage villain can receive-a volume of hisses. The remainder of the company are all up to the mark in their several characters which tends much to the highly finished perform l ance given. The scenery is very hand some, especially that showing the in- terior of the Army and Navy club, New York. Those who wish to see a ster- ling melodrama we'll staged and acted at popular prices should not omit the opportunity to see "The Man O Wars Man"
 JEFF DE ANGELES.
 The company engaged to support Jefferson De Angelis, who is to appear a+4 |, %ax, I Friday evening in The Jolly Mus keteer" is an ideal one for the presen- tation of opera comique. Harry Nc Donuugh, that immensely funny come dian who possesses one of the best and longest records of New York hits will be seen in the second comedy role; and, with MT. De Angelis as chief fun maker, unlimited fun can be expected from this inimitable couplet. They have worked for many years together at the New York Casino and in other important companies. Van Rensselaer, Wheeler, who will play the romantic role, possesses an uncommonly fine baritone voice. He was one of the big hits of the Broadway theater produc- tion of 'The Highwayman" in New York last season and created, the sea- son before, a positive New York vogue in the leading role of Augustin Daly's big production of "The Geisha." He is young and very handsome as well as rich and English; and certainly this is a magnetic combination for a romantic opera singer. Wilfred Blake the basso of the company, has a fine pres ence and a beautiful basso profundo voice, trained by the eminent Sbringia of Paris, the distinguished teacher of Jean de Reszke. The two other men of the cast MT. Norman and MT. More head, tenor and bass respectively, are both we'll known and popular English opera singers. As for the ladies of the company, the names alone would ap- pear to be sufficient promise. The pri- ma donna is Bertha Waltzinger, for formerly of the Bostonions and the De- Wolf Hopper company. Next is Maud Rollins, that most winsome and win ming soubrette, famous across the coun- try for beauty and eharm and long to be remembered by all who saw her in "Jack and the Bean Stalk" Then comes Helena F'redericks, that young and beautiful singer who scored so heavily with the Bostonians as "Yvonne" in "The Serenade," after Alice Nelson de- parted that company. Last, but not least, is Edith Hendee; an extremely pretty girl with marvellous figure, who dances with so much grace and rythm. This is certainly strong en- semble. The advance sale at the box office is already very large, and it looks as if the De Angelis Opera company would effect red-letter opening. Prices 75c, $1 and $1.50.
 THE IDOLS EYE"
 This visit of Frank Daniels to New Haven Saturday night will probably af- ford the last opportunity to see him and his company in his bit comic opera hit "rThe Idols Eye for at least two years, as it is his present intention to play next season in London. great house is indicated.
