MONTE CRISTO" AT HYPERION.
Finest Spectacular Production OF the
Play Ever Seen Here.

Finest Spectacular Production OF the
Play Ever Seen Here.
| James O'Neill appeared last night in
1.-THE Count of Monte Cristo" at the
Hvperion to a crowded house, and never
before has he appeared to such large
audience in this city. The scene paint
ers are a unit in praise of the scenic
effects which are of the most gorgeous
description ever supplied to a romantic
story. From a scenic point of view
there has never been finer production
in this city. 1t is several years since
Mr.. O'Neill appeared in this city be-
fore in the dual role that he so well as
sumed last night. This role of Monte
Cristo is on a grand scale and far sur
passes any previous production of this
great play In New Haven. The first
act, showing the port of Marseilles is
beautiful marine picture. The second
act depicts the stony, barren Chateau
ID'If. The third act displays the homely
interior of the inn of the Pont du
Guard. Up to this point, while the pro-
duction is massive, it is not particular
ly out of the common. The fourth act,
showing the conservatory and ball
room of the Hotel de Morcef is cited as
the finest interior ever put on the stage.
The concluding act showing the forest
of Fontaihebleu, where the dual takes
place is the master work of Homer
Emmons. The sun rising on the glist-
enng snow is realistic. Mr. O'Neill has
been supplied with star support by
Lieber & Co.. the lavish and liberal
producing managers. Never has such a
beautiful setting of the play been CIV
en- since this production was planned,
and in the usual idle season of scenic
painters, the building of the scenic en-
vironment progressed. John H. Young
journeyed to the south of France for
sketches of the Chateau DIFF. Ernest
Albert accompanied him to Paris, and
there got the local color for the great
ball room scene in the Hotel de Morcef.
Gates & Morange painted the interior
of the Inn of the Pont de Guard from
an old print, and the port of Marseilles
was pictured by a French artist born
and raised on it's shores
Those who are familiar with the
Dumas drama Of Monte Cristo" in
which James O'Neill has appeared some
5000 times, should remember that the
production now being made Is VERT
able spectacle requiring six cars of
scenery, the services of 200 people. OF
the cast nothing but praise can be Civ
en-. James O'Neill is too well known to
require an extended notice. Others of
the cast worthy of special mention are
Frederick de Beleville, w. ]. Dixon,
and Robert Patton Glib, whole Mrs,
Selene Johnson was well received as
Mercedes, and Annie Ward TIFFANY was
very god as Carroeutt
The entire production was one of the
most elaborate character, and from a
scenic point of view it is one of the
best ever produced here. The piece will
be presented this afternoon and to-mor.

DIRECTOR HUGO PLEASED.
The Result of the Examination of the
Grove Street Pavement.

The Result of the Examination of the
Grove Street Pavement.
Digging up Of newly laid pavements
is a most unusual thing, but the COM
mittee of the court of common council
which has been Investigating the
charges brought against City Engineer
Kelly by Inspector Anthony Carroll did
SO yesterday morning in order to sub
stantiate the testimony of witnesses
that were put on by Mr.. Carroll.
This testimony has been presented at
the various meetings or hearings of the
committee that have been held for a
month or more, and at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning the party that was to
be present at the digging up OF the
street met at Director Hugo's office.
They proceeded at once to Grove street
and the pavement was dug up in three
places.
Those who were present when the ex-
cavations were begun were City Engi-
ner Kelly, Superintendent Brennan, Di-
rector Of Public Works Hugo, Contrac-
tor Brazos, Chairman Fertman, Coun-
Gilman Schollhorn and a number of cit
liens.
The first excavation was made near
the corner of Whitney avenue and
Grove street to ascertain the depth of
stone and the concrete which served as
a foundation for the brick cutters. The
concrete measured seven inches in
depth and the stone six and one-half
inches. The specifications called for six
inches of stone and six Of concrete, so
the result of the first excavation was in
the contractors favor
The second hole was dug at the foot
of Hillhouse avenue in the center Of the
roadbed, and the stone measured eight
and one-half inches.
The third test was made near the
entrance to the Grove street cemetery.
Here the concrete foundation was again
examined, as well as the stone pave
ment, and each proved satisfactory. The
concrete measured seven and one-half
inches in depth and the stone eight
inches.
The excavations were made as near
as possible to the places designated by
Inspector Carroll at recent meeting
of the committee.
1t was charged by Mr. Carroll that
the stone and concrete were not laid
to the depth called for in the speciflca-
ton, but in each place which the COM
mittee examined they found from one
half an inch to two inches of stone and
to spare.
Although the contracts for this pave
ment were placed before Director Hugo
assumed the duties of his office, he is
well pleased with the result of the ex-
cavations and feels that there is no
breach of confidence on the part of any
one connected with his department.
Anthony Carroll was seen last night
by a Courier reporter and said he had
not been notified of any action on the
part of the committee in relation to
1igging up the street. He did not think
he had received fair play, and desired
that regular court proceedings be car
-ied out. He thought at least that he
should have received official notiflca-
ion of any such move. The first and
only notification he received was from
what he read in the papers Sunday af-
.ernoon.
