HYPERION THEATER.

Schiller's great historical play, ''Mary
Stuart" as adapted to the English stage
by Louis Wing6eld, received superb pre-
sentation last evening at the hands of
Madame Modjeska and her strong company
of players. The play was presented with
great attention to historical accuracy, the
costumes of the members being
absolutely correct from historical stand
point, Modjeska being great student of
history herself. The company is fully
competent for the requirements Of
the various characters. Howard Kyle,
as Sir Edward Mortimer, who was
honored with a call before the
curtain for his excellent work in the
scene where. after having been betrayed,
he kills himself, T. B. Thalberg, Beau
Kate Meek and Ellen Jones being especially
worth of mention. Of Modjeska naught
but praise can be written. Personal mag
netism has much to do with an actress
success, and that quality she possesses in
abundance. From her entrance upon the
stage until her exit she is in perfect SYM
pathy with her audience and retains the
closest attention of each one. Her work
throughout is most conscientious, and be-
ingIsp cannot fail to please even the most
crit1eal of her auditors. He work last
evening was SO meritorious as to win for
her several calls before the curtain.
That charming actress, Miss Minnie
Gale, will appear next Monday evening,
introducing for the first time here Oscar
Wildes new tragedy, "The Duchess of
Padua." Miss Gale is well-known and ad-
mired in this city, where she has for sew
eral seasons played the leading youthful
feminine roles in the performances given
by Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett,
both separately and jointly. The COM
pany includes Creston Clarke and other
members of the late Booth and Barrett
combination.
The famous musical combination known
as the Austrian Juvenile band, which has
been great attraction in the European
metropolis, will appear here Tuesday IN

The boys number about forty, and they
were originally selected for their natural
genius for music. Their repertoire en-
braces many hundreds of pieces, embody-
ing every description of music, compass
ing every range of difficulty.
PRocroR's OPERA HOUSE.
"My Partner" which is universally &C.
knowledged to be BARLEY Campbell's best
American play, was presented in an excel
lent manner to fair sized audience at this
house last evening by Louis Aldrich and a
strong supporting company. The play is
too we'll known in this city to need any do
tailed account, but it is safe to say that
last nights was the best presentation the
play has ever received in this city. Louis
Aldrich in his original character of sJoe
Saunders" portrayed his difficult role as he
only can portray it, and was ably support
ed by E. F. Gilpin, George w. Howard,
Charles Ray Miss Dora Goldwaithe. Lillian
Leech and the other members of the COM
pany. The play was presented with spe-
cial scenery painted for the production by
Messrs. Blakeslee and Thomas, scenic
artists of the local theater. "My Partner"
will be presented again this afternoon and
evening, and will doubtless be Witnessed
by large audiences.
