HYPERION THKATER.

Rudolph Aronson's admirable company of artists from the Casino theater, New York, last evening presented their great success, "Poor Jonathan," before a very large audience. The story of the opera deals entirely with the tribulations of an American millionaire, and the scenes are laid successively in New York city, Monaco, and West Point. The opera is full of rs- oy melodies and the iveliest kind of ac- tion. Several of the airs are of a nature most pleasing to the ear, and the entire production is so complete in all it's de- tails that the most fastidious critic is not able to find flaw in any part of the rep resentation. The costumes are of the most beautiful description, while the scenery is most original. Of the work of the company naught but commendation can be written. Miss Camille Darville sang the score of "Harriet' most brilliantly and Miss Louise Kissing won the hearts of her audience from the start by the sweet quality of her voice and the brightness and spirit of her action. MT. Fred Solo, mons impersonation of s'Poor Jonathan" is all that could be desired. His imper- sonation is decidedly unique, and his every action was that of an artist in his ASASo' comic scenes, and his work last evening was of high order of merit. MT. Henry Hallam is the possessor of an excellent voice, and his acting and singing was ad- mirable and full of sentiment. s'Poor Jonathan" will receive it's final produc- tion this evening.
 Saturday, May 3, afternoon and even ing, the Columbia College Dramatic as- sociation will present an original burlesque entitled Lafayette, for the benefit of the Yale Infrmary
 A Gilmore band concert at which such artists as Campanini, the great tenor, and lady violinist will appear, together with Ida Klein and Mime. Natali, sopranos; Miss Mante1 contralto, Sig Spigaroli tenor, and Sig Sartori baritone, is one of more than ordinary attraetiveness. Two of these concerts, matinee and evening perform ance next Friday, will be a notable musical feature of the coming week at the Fly perion. Gilmore has been so long famous for his great enterprises that the engage ment of so large number of famous peo- pie to add interest to the incompatible work of his band is not surprising for him. He is deservedly popular because he all ways has such variety in his program that there is sure to be something pleasing to every ones taste. This time the concert promises even more variety than usual, and will be especially interesting on ac- count of the first appearance of Campanini here since the restoration of his magnif- cent voice. The tickets go on sale Mon day.
