ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion rheator.

Surrounded by a cast of we'll known
people Miss Paula Edwards, new star
in the theatrical armament, made her
debut to New Haven audience at the
Hyperion last night and she was well
received. The vehicle which afforded
her an opportunity of displaying her
talents to a critical portion of New Ha-
ven theatergoers was the tuneful
"Winsome Winnie" which is being this
year produced under the management
of Messrs. Nixon and Zimmerman and
Sam S. Shubert. "Winsome Winnie" is
by the authors of the American YER
sion of that famed and always welcome
"ErIninie," the words and lyrics being
by Frederic Ranken and the music by
GustaVe Kerker. The success which
these gentlemen have had in other eff
forts may be considered as the stand
ard by which this new play may be
gagged. 1t is in two acts, presenting
with elaborate stage settings landing
at Cataro, Montenegro, and the Lair
of the Brazen Brigands," which is the
representation of a ruined. castle in the
mountain Businesses of Montenegro.
The company assisting Miss Edwards
! is composed of several people who have
/ won fame in other productions and
among them are Joseph Miron, Miss
Helen Redmond, W. P. Carleton, Miss
Isabel Hall, William E.. Philip and
Richard Carroll.
| Some of the music is particularly pref
| ty and beautiful and excellently rem
dered. This is especially so of the duets
81 Love You Only by Miss Redmond
and Mr.. Philip in the first act and 1.-TWO
Little Doves by the same people in the
second act, Numerous encores were de-
manded on these numbers and also on
! the song "Winsome Winnie by w. p.
Carleton in the second act. Miss Ed
wards is indeed a winsome young wo-
man and she made good by her clever
and captivating manner, especially in
the rendition of several typical songs.
| The hit of the entire show was the
song by Mr.. Miron, assisted by the en-
4 tire company Of brigands, illustrative
of the Montenegro patrol The air is
1 delightfully."- refreshing and given with
a swing which made it extremely
catchy. 4.
The young ladies are pretty, wear
! fetching gowns, and the chorus is one
/ of the best balanced ever heard in the
city. The shading and expression was
especially noticeable, features which are
4 lacking in many choruses. The male
octette in the second act was one of the
enjoyable features. h -
'Winsome Winnie''5will be repeated at
4 the Hyperion tonight.
