LITTLE PUCK,

The production of the fantastical comedy
 "Little Puck" by Frank Daniels and his ex-
 cellent company at the Hyperion last night
 was enthusiastically received by the large
 audience present. MT. Daniels portrayal of
 Rockingham Giltedge, 8 matter of-fact stock
 broker, was admirable. The role gave him a
 good chance to show his acting abilities and
 he did so to the evident satisfaction of every-
 body. He had very striking way of enforc-
 ing his orders, especially to Sluggers, the
 butler. Miss Bessie Samson as Miranda Saw
 age proved herself we'll worthy of holding the
 leading female part in such 8 company. Her
 dancing and singing were favorably received.
 MT. Ignacio Martinstti as Billy Giltedge, g
 young American hopeful, scored @ hit. His
 dancing, twisting and high kicking evoked
 we'll merited applause time and time again.
 Harry Courtine as Dr. Hercules Savage and
 Harry Conor as Jinks Hoodoo, Esq, were
 both good. The dancing and singing of the
 company elicited frequent applause and sev-
 eral encores were given. The change effected
 by Mir. Daniels near the close of the third act
 is marvellous. He changes in a single second
 from broker to Little Puck. A more thor
 oughly satisfied audience never left the thea-
 ter than did that of last night.

 be given at the Hyperion. The Des Moines
 Register says: While the play is original in
 its conception it Is at the same time entirely free from any taint of vulgarity and contains no objectionable feature that may not be found in any of the comic operas. The cast is unusually strong. The chorus parts and drills were we'll represented. In short the entire performance was an agreeable relief from the monotony of the usual spectacular performance and deserves well of the public.
