Grand Opera House.

My Friend From India" will be at the Grand Opera house tonight and Friday and Saturday nights, with rnati- nee on Saturday. This Is the first time the great play has been produced at popular prices. The Bridgeport Union speaking of the play says: Everybody should meet My Friend From India" He Is clever parsonage, something of a wizard, an apostate and expounder of theosophy and barber, and where can can a combination productive of more fun, be found--on the stage? My Friend From India" is farce-not the aforesaid personage-but the play, and the same said play has plot, clever plot too. The fun begins when the blase and sport-loving son Charles arises in the morning and discovers an unknown man in his room. How he came there is--by jove--a mystery, an unexplained adjunct of the plot, only the mysteriou person tries to explain that he brought the discoverer home the night before while both were in a more or less state of--well you know only the state was more than less
 The son Is afraid of his father, who is somewhat of Tartar, and persuades the new companion to assume that he Is a theosophist. but the companion de- murs-he is only a barber, True he has read "The Light of Asia" and car rins copy of the entrancing book about him, but the son had taken away his cltohes and he must wear silken spread-bed spread it is called-but a Grecian tunic it really is--with apolo- gies to the Greek-and so he must re- main and help the son to persuade the father that he, the son. had, instead of melting a riot the night before, been studying theosophy. The rest is easy for every one, except the theosophical barber. He has a trance when the oc- cason demands, making hurried exit when the questions become too learned, and is miserable at all times, He tries

ENTERTAINMEN EN1s
Uyp.riom Thcntrr.

Mir and Mrs. Kendall at the Hyperion next Saturday night will present one of their greatest successes, "A White Lie, comedy by Sydney Grundy which they gave here several years ago and which we'll justifies its revival. The subject is the not unfamiliar one of the young wife of the apparently sleepy, dull and indifferent husband, who l thinks herself in love with visiting captain and finds that the husband is not as dull as she supposed The sis ter-in-law, an energetic and somewhat fuSsy person, assumed the others in trigue with a lie that does not deceive the husband, but leads to many compli- cations, both sentimental and amusing. It Is clean and bright and agreeable and both the play and the admirable artists whom 1t reintroduces are deserv- ing of public recognition. Seats now on saes Prices, $1.5o, $1 and 7b cents.
 The advance sale of seats for Pader- ewskl's last and only piano recital in Connecticut on Thursday afternoon, May 1O opens this morning at the box office of the Hyperion. The prices have been specially fixed for this occasion at $2 $1,50 and $1; not more than ten seats sold to any one person. With Paderewski the mental, or more correct ly said, the soul element in piano-play- ing, is so prepoDlerati that only by the indirect wayg of reflection one ar- rives at noticing his admirable finish and endurance in passage playing At once, however one Is forced again to give up such onetsidedness of judgment, for with him all passage work is also soulful and does not become mere sen suously beautiful toying with tones as was the case with even the best among the others, whose playing we enjoyed through the winter. And just therein consists the secret of the powerful im- pression made by his playing. that out of everything he performs there speaks a superior mind intimately giver over to the cult of what is beautiful; mind which thereby conquers the masses as well as individuals, the latter the more, the higher are their expectations of mental incitation and standardization In piano-playing. sHf
 Charles Frohman's London comedians including Ellaline Terrlss, Seymour Hicks, Fanny Brough, Herbert Stand Ing and Henry Kemble. have made great hit at the Lyceum theater in New York. The success of the company and of the play Is beyond dispute. The im- mediate success of My Daughter-in- Law" is simply a repetition of it's in- stant success in Paris when produced there under the title of Ma Bru' and also of it's London success which was achieved on its very first night there. This company will be seen at the Fly perion on Friday night, May H.

New Haven Witnesses Do Not Appear
 The Proceedings Very Dull.
 Hartford, May 2.--The New Haven witnesses who caused premature ad- journment of the Bradley court-martial yesterday afternoon caused another de- lay to-day. When the reading of yes terday's record had been concluded this morning a search for the New Haven CTS failed to disclose them.
 After a short wait John w. Demo, for mer lieutenant of Company l, Meriden, was examined, He rehearsed the same old Kobs affair and it was practically the same old version. As to the con- ditton of Captain Bradley at the time, Demo said that the captain was slight ly intoxicated, not drunk"
 On cross examination the witness was asked to define the phrase slightly m toxicated,' and this was his answer: "A man who did not go twice after one load; a man who had been drinking, out was not drunk"
 Attorney Danaher then dwelt at length upon the affairs of Company I with view to discrediting the witness.
