HYPERION.
The heavy rains of last evening did not
prevent the lovers of music focking to the
Hyperion to hear Sousa's marine band. It
is unquestionably very fine band. The
overture was magnificent, gradually in
creasing in power like some great chorus
of voices. After the overture, that old but
ever new melody, Mary Green, was rem
dered. This was greeted by enthusiastic
applause from the galleries. In the Suite
Peer-Gynt, the first part, Morning, seemed
to carry one to some beautiful retreat and
with the sun gradually rising from the
distant hills and the song of birds swelling
forth in the morning hymn of praise. The
noted trombenist, Signor Raffayolo, then
gave very pleasing solo, which was re-
ceived by loud applause. He was former

fute-like tone. She received great applause,
and responded with Bobolink song. Sig

from Tannhauser He was called back re-
peatedly and rendered pleasing little air.
The Humoresque, where members of the
band take offence at reprimand and each
one leaves the stage after giving solo on
his instrument, but seeing the unimpaired
confidence of the leader, gradually come
back playing Annie Laurie, took immense
ly. Sousa has splendid band and under
splendid training and control.
"Mr. Wilkinson's Widows" will be pre-
scented this evening. An exchange says of
the play: "Wilkinson's Widows" is clever
enough to attain a long lease of prosperity.
and it doubtless will.
s'Wilkinson's Widows is to the field of
comedy farce what Shenandoah" is to the
serious drama, and William Gillette has
never done more clever work in the excel
lent cast engaged in its present presenta-
ton.
It will be enacted by a company under
the direction of Charles Frohman and
mounted with the original scenery. Essie
Tittell and Edith Kenward, the latter the
famous kangaroo dancer, will impersonate
the widows.
Concerning the play ga Nutmeg
Match" which will be presented to-mor-
row evening, it is said: OF Miss Annie
Lewis, who heads the company, many
fattering comments have been made. She
is new theatrical star, comparatively, but
shines brightly from the corner of the SOU
brette armament. The sale of seats is now
open.

A fair sized house greeted Miss Carrie
Louis last night in her second evening per-
