HYPERION THEATER.

will been the attraction this eve
ming. Niobe is no doubt one of the most
agreeably entertaining comedies seen here
for a long time and what is more, the an
dience which witnessed its initial perform
ance here enjoyed every moment of it.
Moreover, it was splendidly staged and
employed as evenly balanced and compe-
tent a company as has been seen here
abouts for long time.
Bill Nye and A. P. Burbank will be the
attraction tomorrow evening. An ex-
change says: From the moment Mr.. Nye
appeared on the stage till he concluded his
final number, and throughout Mr.. Bur-
banks comic pieces, laughter not only
rippled, but pervaded the atmosphere in
great big pillows of merriment.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
"Uncle's Darling" as presented last
night by Hettie Bernard Chase and her
excellent company was one of those pleas
ing and clean-cut comedies that appealed
to the funny sensibilities of the people
without offending their better natures.
Several special features in the perform
ance were worthy of encores and the COM
pany received hearty applause. The tab
leau of the wrecked steamer and rescue
was pretty piece of stage work and
heartily applauded.
The whole comedy, characters and stage
puns, real live ones, and jokes, and keeps
the audience amused all the while.
Miss Chase, the star of the comedy, is
one of the best soubrette actresses on the
American stage, golden hair, fine figure
and charming qualities. Her banjo play
ing and singing was much admired. The
song, "Pie and Trouble in the House
hold" was great hit. The play will be
repeated this and, tomorrow evenings and
tomorrow afternoon.
w. A. Brady's great play CATER Dark, ("
with Jim Corbett in the cast, comes Mon
day for half weeks engagement.
rRocroR's OPERA HOUSE.
Robert Manteil had. a fair sized audience
last evening when he reappeared in
Dumas stirring drama, 1.-THE Corsican
Brothers." and repeated the triumphs for
merry made in this city by this actor.
Carmencita in conjunction with the
Spanish Students and Kester & Bial's
vaudeville company will be the attraction
this evening. OF Carmencita Julian Haw-
thorne wrote in terms of high admiration
in Lippincott's Magazine: tNothing like
Carmencita's eyes had been seen in this
country until she came here; perhaps q
Spanish artist could portray or poet sing
their light of stars in darkness, their fairy
softness, their unfathomed kindling. Her
motions are as swift as leaping flame, with
an infallible audacious grace that warns
and accelerates the beholder like fairy
scene.
A TYPICAL AMERICAN PLAY.
The typical American play Alabama will
be the magnet at the Hyperion Saturday
evening, January 20. While it's story is
founded on results arising partially from
the great civil war, the scenes and Incl
dents take place from fifteen to eighteen
years after the surrender at Appomattox
It is not dependent upon booming cannon,
flashing artillery or fife and drum for its
development and action. It portrays q
natural and yet Intensely interesting life
picture of the south as it Is to-day. There
Is no parade of emsneipated slaves; the
plantation darkey is shown in but one
character, and that one is said to show
him as he Is in the south to-day. That, in
fact, 10 the keynote of the charm of Gala
bans." The scenery is very natural and
effective.
