lover Niagara Falls comes to the New Haven theater the last three days this week with matinee Saturday. The play and the company presenting it are both new in this section of the country and should attract many who dearly love new play.
 lover Niagara Falls has been run ming for two seasons in the east, has had it's New York run and is now being played by three companies in America. Clarence Brune and an all American company are giving our English cous- ins an idea of how a strictly American melodrama should be played, at last accounts they were holding forth at the Prince of Wales theater, Wolverhamp- ton, England. Crowded houses greet every performance. It is a great scenic exhibition. The greatest effect is the third act, which shows Niagara Falls over which the heroine is supposed to go in a barrel. The spectator who has seen the great cataract will be sur prised at the realism of this production. Miss Goodwin, the leading lady of lover Niagara Falls is well known in the east, where she has been a fayorite stock leading woman. Miss Goodwin possesses an attractive personality, fine emotional power and the technique of an artist. Willard Dashiel, a hand some young romantic actor is the lead- ing man and has won the unstinted praise of the critics for his splendid work. Rowland 6 Clifford has sur rounded these artists with an excep- tionaIly strong supporting company.

Its catchy music is still drawing crowds in Lonson, although the opera is in it's fourth year there. New York listened to lit for forty nights and Chicago packed the theater every night during ten weeks of hot summer weather; Boston saw it for ten weeks and Philadelphia for twenty weeks, and now sam s.

aIsLE oF SPICE"


 There is much about the "Ise of Spice" which will be seen at the Fly perion theater to-day, matinee and evening, that is positively new and re- freshing. The lyrics treat of an odd theme, the music, while jingIy, is dis tinctly original, and the stage business, ensembles and chorus work genuinely attractive are up-to-date and new. This latter feature is particularly noticeable in the work of the young women Of the chorus in the three songs, Peggy Brady '"The Broomstick Witches and .grhe Goo Goo Man. As one New York paper said: No such stage man. agement has been seen in this little old city for many a moon. With restless, tireless energy, Gus Sohlke, the stage director, has outWitted every surprise and muzzled every chance for repeti- tion. They tell us that the composer, Franz Schubert, could set a laundry bill to music. I believe tiiis man, Sohlke, could marshal bundle of toothpicks into the maneuvres of the newest cavalry tactics and that at the last curtain you would find each indi- vidual pick" gIistening with an cleo tric bulb.
 The company, which B. c. Whitney, manager, has organized, and which made the long run just brought to a close at the Majestic theater, New York city, includes Blanche Bucmer, Carlton $. King, Denman Maley, liar Try F. Watson. Leslie Leigh, Hattie Martz, George Fiske, Alice Yorke, John Hendricks and Otto s. Booker. and a chorus number over 100 pretty young women.
