"The Lion and the Mouse"

Gertrude Coghlan. who plays Shirley Rossmore in "The Lion and the Mouse" is the daughter of the late Charles Coghlan. in his day known as one of the best leading men on the En- glish speaking stage, and Grace Thorne who plays Mrs. John Burkett Ryder in the Klein play, is the daughter of Charles Thorne. who enjoyed a wonder ful popularity during his stage career
 It is rather remarkable coincidence that the daughters of two such famous actors should be in the same play and company. and doubly SO in this in stance as Charles Coghlan and charles Thorne were contemporaries in their day. When Charles Thorne was the idol of the patrons of Wallack's thea Ire, New York Coghlan was rivallng Henry Irving's triumphs in England.
 One of Charles Coghlan's notable sue cesses was 'The Royal Box" first pro duced at the Fifth Avenue theater, New York and later presented through out the country with great success. It was in this drama that Gertrude Cogh- Ian, then a mere slip of girl, made her debut as Juliet, and after her fathers death she used it as her first starring vehicle. She followed this with successful tours in Becky sharp and Alice of Old Vincennes," before Henry B Harris engaged her for the part of Shirley Rossmore in,"The Lion and the Mouse" in which role she has appeared for almost three years, and in which Thursday, Friday and Saturday. with Saturday matinee, February 2, 2S and %.

MAX DESSAUER BUSY Hard Work Given in Rehears- ing for Production of
 Martha. HIS EXPERIENCE GREAT Conductor Chosen for the Opera Has Been Grand Opera Leader
 in Germany.

The busiest man in town these days is Max Dessauer, the musical director of Martha, for he is giving every hour he can spare from his teachings to rehearsals of principals and chorus of the Morris Steinert Grand Opera company Morning, noon and night he Is at it and it is quite sure many of his sleeping hours must be given over to dreams of the opera so engrossed is he in preparation for Monday evening" when his splendid company of sing,rs will make it's formal bow at the Fly perion. But MT. Dessauer's hard work has meant the best kind of results and every member of the cast fully realizes the magnificent efforts he has put forth in preparation of the opera. In conse- Quence they are determined to live up to those efforts and prove the faith their director and MT. Steinert, the founder of the company, has in their ability to make the first performance of grand opera here by local singers an event that shall become part of the musical history of New Haven.
 There is no better known musician in New Haven than Mir. Dessauer. As a conductor of chorus he has become known throughout the east by the splendid work of the Harugari society of wEieh he has been director since 1S9e He was before that director of tine Hartford Saengerbund, which took the prize q. ihe singing festival held in that city in 1889. Several seasons ago he produced for three successive years, Sullivans operas. Pirates of PenEance," The Mikado" and Pima fore" the latter being given here six times to crowded houses, and also in all the large cities and towns of the state. He also conducted the famous performance of "Antigone," given by society people here in 1893. At that time Ieldrs orchestra from the Metro politan house assisted.
 Mir Dessauer conducted grand opera in Germany before coming to America. His orchestral experience he received in the great Hans Von Buelow's famous orchestra, at that time the greatest or chestra in the world. When MT. Des- sauer accepted the dictatorship of the company here he did so only when as- sured that the production of grand opera by home singers would meet the highest artistic requirements. And this Martha" will do when presented March and 8.
 Until Friday the seat sale will be conducted at the Steinert store in Chapel street. After that tickets may be obtained at the Hyperion box office.

HYPERION.
Madame Nazimova Appears in the
 "Comet' Tonight.


 The Comet" the new three act play by Owen Johnson, in which Madame Nazinova, who appears at the Fly perlon theater, tonight, tells the story of an actress who is so called, "Lona," otherwise The Comet" returns to vis- it her old home in the Spanish pyrenees after an absence of eighteen years. She has left home as a girl of sixteen, has met with triumphant success on the stage, but in the attainment of fame has sacrificed nearly every human emo tion. She returns a tragic figure, im- passive, cold, like a bur1it-out meteor extinct but for a smoldering flame that is desire for revenge. She has been driven away Into the world, through her love for man upon whom she now seeks vengeance. She finds that her own young sister Is in love with the son of this man, but even this tender circumstance makes no impress sion upon her calloused nature. She has returned for vengeance, and she will have 1t at the cost of everyone's ldHplltsss Sallu SO IL ls. Sle lures lut young man into the belief that only by throwing off the trammels of domestic life and following her into the world can he hope for success. It Is upon his ambition that she works, and so great is the power of her fascination, so fel- inc the cunning of her suggestion, that the youth is about to cast everything aside in order to do her bidding. She meets defeat and yet, Is not defeated, as the end of the play shows. for in the moment when the bells upon the har- ness of her horses tell of the return oi the carriage which is to take her back from whence she came-at this moment her triumph is complete, yet not as she had wlled It. The entire action of the play takes place in a house in Span ish pyrenees from breakfast time of one morning until dinner time of the same day. Madame Nazimova's re- markable rendering of a subtle and difficult role in this play has already added another to her list of successful parts, while her supporting company will be exactly the same as seen dur ing her run in New York and includes the star. MT Brandon Tynan, MT. bod son Mitchell. Miss Florence Fisher, Mrs Jacques Martin. MT. Cyrill Scott and MT. John Emerson. the same cast as during her New York engagement.
