-FOUR FLAT"
The Lyceum Theater company in sour
Flat" did not attract as large an audience at
the Hyperion Theater last evening as the
musical strength of the company and excel
lenoe of the play deserved. The play is
roaring farce comedy in three acts, all the &C.
ton Of ". hich takes place on the upmost fat
of an English apartment house. All the fun
lies in the experiences in Housekeeping Of
couple have ea money to pay
men, to say nothing of their indescribably
funny but faithful servant. The new
proverb, Uneasy lies the head that rests on
furniture bought on the INSTALL
ment plan," was illustrated in a
side-splitting manner. To say that
the audience appreciated the humor
of the play is to but family describe the en-
thuaiasm with which it was received. The
principal honors of the evening were carried
off by Miss Thorndyke Boucioault, Miss Al
ice Harrison, Mr.. Fl. B. Conway and Mr..
Thomas Whiffen. All of these artists were
simply perfect in their respective roles. The
remainder of the cast is of more than usual
excellence, and when Mr.. Morton Seldom re-
covers from his severe cold, he will be able
to take his full share in the fun. The play
will be repeated tonight and there will be
special matinee at $50 O'Clock this after
noon. Both play and company fully deserve
large audiences.
AT THE ATHENEUM.
Miss Nettie Guion will appear this after
noon and evening at the Atheneum in an en-
tertainment of three comedies. She will be
supported by Harry Dixey and good COM

Tosca by Miss Davenport. The sale of seats
opens Tuesday morning, and there will be a
slight advance in prices owing to the impor-
lance of the engagement.
