Entertainments. HYPERION THEATER.

"Superba," the Hanlon Brothers fairy spectacle, was presented to another large and delighted audience last evening, and repeated it's former triumph. Pantomime, as it is generally known in America, be- longs entirely to these celebrated brothers and they are the only proprietors of that
 type of spectacle upon which the genera
 tions have stamped their approval. The
 spectacle will be repeated this and to-mor-
 row evenings and to morrow afternoon.
 "The Senator" with w. H. Crane in his original role of Senator Rivers, will be the
 attraction Saturday, December 19. ; Sara Bernhardt comes for one perform
 ance only, Christmas eve, December "A. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. -. A huge tank filled with water, three feet deep, in which are swimmers and boats and other aquatic accessories, the whole repre- senting the Fall River line pier No. 2S, North river, with very good view of Jer- sey City in the distance, particularly handsome scene of the lake at Central park and correct view of the lunatic asylum, | Blackwell's Island, New York, are the striking features of Edward J. Hassan's production, "One of the Finest" which was the attraction last evening. The piece l is comedy drama. which is well presented by MT. Edwin M Ryan as the jolly Dutch policeman, John Mishler, and clever con- pany. The play will hold the boards for the balance of the week.
 Rose Hills English Folly company is ! underlined for the first half of next week. PRocToR's OPERA HOUSE.
 The first performance of the Hyde
 Vaudeville company occurred last even
 ing. The company includes MT. James F. | Hoey, one of the famous Hoey brothers. His burlesque ventriloquil act is very | amusing and won the applause of the | house. The show is bright and sparkles | with new original humor. The trick
 scenery in the sketch entitled ''The Gen tleman Scamp" is fine example of stage l mechanism. Miss Queen Hetherton and | Joe Hayden open the performance with | topical songs and funny sayings, and they l hold prominent place in the company. There are two fstic contests introduced, ,one l by the Glenroy brothers and the other a friendly set-to between Jack McAsliffe and
 James Wilson, the latter of which is the I closing feature of the performance. Miss
 Helen Morea, the greatest living baritone and impersonator, is excellent in her part and gained considerable applause. Imro
 Fox, the comic conjurer, does some as- l tonishing feats which deceive the eye and
 mistify the mind. This company will hold | the boards at this theatre the remainder of the week with the usual matinee Saturday. It is we'll worth seeing.
 The eminent lecturer, Thomas H. Cum
 mings, will deliver two of his celebrated
 lectures on Monday and Tuesday evenings of next week. The subject of Mondays
 lecture will be "Footsteps of Columbus in
 the Old and New World," and Tuesday
 evening he will speak on 'Art and Religion, or the Passion Play of 1890."

 resort where Manager Bell is presenting attractions of an unusually high grade. The great Hilliard, the human paradox,
 has created quite sensation in medical
 circles by his wonderful performance.
