Grand Opera EOus",

My Friend from India" had things all his own way at the Grand opera
 house last night, and in so doing im- mensely entertained the audience which assembled there, Despite the inclement weather and counter attractions, there was a good sized audience, and it is needless to say that Du Souchet's de- cidedly clever farce scored another hit. The plot Is a unique one a refreshing departure from the ordinary farce. Erastus Underholt, a retired pork pack CT, moves his entire family from Kansas bition Is to be introduced Into society and find -blooded husbands for his daughters and also a wife for bis son. The son, Charles, is a renegade, partic- ularly delighting in getting full and with hobby of breaking all the plate glass windows with which he comes in contact. While out carousing one night he falls in with a stranger, who assists him home and goes to bed with him, In the morning, to appease the anger of his irate father and endeavor to excuse his actions of the previous night, introduces his strange companion as his friend from India The stranger happens to be a barber, A. Keen Shaver by name, who is theosophist. The son persuades him to represent Rev. James Tweedles, who arrived the day before from Afri- ca. Shaver does this to perfection and

RALPH RoYsrER DoYsTER.

There were no vacant seats In Col lege street hall Wednesday night when the performance of Ralph Royster Doyster" began Instead of elaborate scenery, the spectators saw the end of the hall covered with cotton cloth, wide blue expanse showing three doors the whole effect being plain and se-
 verely pure. The distinguishing placard
 bore the words: "The House of Dame
 Custance." The aim of each detail of
 staging costuming and dialogue was
 the reproduction of this remote ances-
 tor of English comedies. Numer-
 ically the gathering of spectators left little to be desired. Socially it left less
 Over half of those in the audience were, ladies and among their escorts the Yale faculty was largely represented.
 The acting showed very careful
 preparation The specialties pleased the audience most. The instrumental music was furnished by troupe of mandolin and guitar players suitably garbed. The songs, in words and music, were so old as to be quite new to most of the audi ence. They were pleasing specimens of -Elizabethan rag-time. One obvious characteristic of the production was the perfect naturalness and simplicity of the introduction of what mad mod erns call "specialties," and drag in with no pretence of relevancy. With Udall
 'the play was the thing"-with us it Is a peg on which to hang "specialties." The plot was good, but simple, but the chief interest centered in Ralph and Mathew Merrygreek, and the frivolities into which the latter betrayed the fond and vain-glQrious block' whose name was that of the play. The play developed an opportunity near its close for the conventional finale, by the full strength of the company to which we have grown so accustomed. In the pro- duction Wednesday night however, the audience was agreeably surprised when this singing sem-conclusion was suc- ceeded by prayer for the queen, the leading actors kneeling at the front of the stage and praying in rhymed meas ures in turn. The acting was good-for amateur acting, surprisingly good. MT. Richards as Mathew Merrygreek was especially pleasing The ladies of the cast received flowers at the close of the performance.

in short order has the entire family, also an aunt, and even the servants, de- voted believers in theosophy. They fully trust everything that he says, and, fol- lowing the directions of the son, Shaver causes the household to deport them selves as will best serve the sons pur- pose. In doing this many funny situa- tons are evolved, especially where the original Rev James TWeedles appears on the scene and an explanation is nec- essary This had best be seen to be appreciated and understood. The head of the family is persuaded that this friend from India will materially assist him in his desire to get into society. He, in consequence, advertlseS exten- sively of the arrival of the stranger and creates a furore. A reception is plan ned and with the assistance of a society pretender invitations for New York's "400' are prepared, but not mailed. On the evening of the reception the friend is much in evidence and keeps every one busy. There is, of course, happy finale. The son is restored to his fath- er's good graces and the daughters al- lowed to marry the men of their choice, but they fail to get into society.
 The company is a splendid one. Wal ter F. Perkins as A. Keen Shaver is the bright particular star. He is as funny as ever and won new converts to his host of admirers. Fred Mower as Eras- tus Underholt, Charles Hutchinson as the son, Miss Lillian Harris and Miss Lottie Briscoe were especially good. There will be another performance tonight and one tomorrow night, with matinee tomorrow.

TRIAL OF CAPT. BRADLEY

Movement and Requests Time tG
 Summon Witnesses Which is Granted.
 Hartford, May 3.-Although the court martial of Captain Oscar L. Bradley of Meriden, commanding Company I, Sec ond regiment, c. N G., reconvened here to-day at 830 o'clock, it was nearly 10 o'clock before the first witness was call ed, the time being taken up by reading yesterdays testimony.
 Corporal George M Fahy Company c, New Haven, was the first witness. He testified to the trouble Captain Bradley had at mess with a Company B man, corroborating the testimony of former witnesses. Witness saw Captain Bradley rush at the man and strike at him, and it was his impression that Captain Bradley was intoxicated. Wit ness said the Company B man did not strike at Captain Bradley. He also stated he was sure the trouble had oc cured on Wednesday and not Monday, which is in contradiction to previous witnesses
 John J. McBail first sergeant, Con- pany I, the next witness, said he talked with Kobs the night of the trouble with Captain Bradley and Kobs told him the men would not fall in for him. He said Captain Bradley walked up and grabbed Kobs by the throat. Witness said Captain Bradley approached him and another member of Company I and told them he was short in his accounts, but that the shortage was not as much as believed. They suggested to him that committee be appointed to find out the exact standing of his accounts. Captain Bradley said he was afraid the boys would disgrace him. Witness tes- tified that Captain Bradley later ad- dressed the company and said that the amount which did not exceed $500, had been used for war purposes. Captain Bradley said that the trouble at camp would never have occurred if he had not been drunk. Witness further testified that while on their way to camp he and the captain drank whiskey from the same bottle.
 On oss-examination witness faltered in his answers and Attorney Danaher instructed the stenographer to note these facts in the testimony.
 The prosecution in the Bradley court martial sprung a surprise this after noon when they announced that they rested their case, after hearing only one witness It was generally expected that the prosecution would consume the re- mainder of this week in the presenta- ton of its case.
 Evidently the defense did not antici- pate such a movement, and when the announcement was made Attorney Dan aher requested that he be given some time in which to subpoena his witness es Colonel Thompson, president of the court martial, then requested that ad- journment be taken until May 15, as he would be unable to be present before that time. This request was acceded to by the judge advocate.
 The only witness heard this afternoon was Quartermaster Sergeant Ford, and as he did not see the trouble at the camp he was excused.
