HYPERION HEATER.
 "The Wolves of New York;" Leonard l Growers latest comedy drama, received it's
 initial production in this city to a good
 sized audience last evening. The play de- picts the adventures of three country folk
 who go to the great city and fall among
 the wolves, and is realistic duplication of 1 the dark side of life in New York city The play has the advantage of being pre- 1 sented with a competent company and new
 and artistic scenery specially prepared for l this production. Those members of the | company creating the best impression last | evening were Miss Lisle Leigh in the role of Marion" blind girl, Leonard Grover, jr., as ''Robin," Herbert Archer as "Hand- ] some Harry" Miss Jennie Satterlee and Miss Bebe Vining. The play will be re- peated this afternoon and evening. Primrose & Vests new5nautical comedy company, ''Eight Bells," will be presented May 15 and 16, and the operatic success
 ''Ship Ahoy," May g and 23.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 "Under the Gaslight," presented by an excellent metropolitan company with it's wealth of scenic and stage effects, enter tnAACu 00OUAOA A0A 50 ouu1ChCO 1hSt Cfouluk. The last performances will be given this afternoon and evening.
 Monday and Tuesday evenings the house will be closed and Wednesday evening the entertainment under the auspices of the Chronicle association, entitled ''Negro Patriots in the Late Rebellion" will hold the boards.
 PRoCToR's OPERA HOUSE. Miss Pauline Hall and her opera com pany presented "Erminie' to we'll pleased audience last evening. This has
 been week of comic opera rivals, and first class rivals at that. The only thing to be regretted is that s'Erminie'' did not | attract as large an audience as those which attended "Pinafore." It certainly de- served it. 'Erminie" is the best of comic operas, and it received 8 very creditable presentation at the hands of Miss Halls company. Miss Hall herself is 8 pleas ing artist, and sang faultlessly roles in which she has made both fame and fortune. Messrs. Drew and Mil
 Ter as the two thieves were as amusing as could be desired, and they were better
 singers than most of the comedians who
 have assumed these popular roles. Miss Emma Fachon won much applause for her good singing and acting in the part of
 'Javotte." The chorus is large one and
 is composed of fresh voices under perfect control. If the orchestra lacked numbers, it had among it's musicians a violinist of extraordinary talent Never in this city were the familiar airs of 'sErmine" more charmingly interpreted than by this first violin. His name should be made pub
 lie because he is musician to the manor
 born, and a credit to any organization for
 tunate enough to secure his services.
 Nat Goodwin's play, The Nominee, which
 will be the attraction this evening, is
 another version of The Candidate which
 Charles Wyndham played in this country
 somewhat over year ago, but the comedy
 is broarder and tue character of the piece
 tends more decidedly in the direction of
 farce. It is no doubt better adapted for
 MT. Goodwin's purpose than it would be
 in the form in which it is already familiar.
 Mr. Goodwin has many opportunities to
 be amusing, and he approves them abun- dant1y.
 Monday evening Miss Rose Coghlan will present ''Lady Barter" for the first time in this city.
