HYPERION.

A very meagre attendance greeted the
appearance of Madame Janausohek at the
Hyperion last night in Shakespeare
great tragedy of "Macbeth." The per-
Torrance was somewhat curtailed, notably
by the omission of the porter's soliloquy
On the knocking OF the gate in the second
act, but this portion, however, is no loss
as it ia generally admitted by critics to
have been added after the time of Shake
speare to please the audience in the pit.
Madame Jansuschek's work was great
dramatic treat, but it ia in the fourth act
in Lady Macbsth's sleep walking scene that
the truly great power of this wonderful
actress is displayed. The company, as is
usual with great stars, was rather weak
and greatly overshadowed by two or three
of the leading members. Edmund Col
lier's portrayal of Macbeth was excellent,
and John w. Thompson as Macduff and
Wilbur Hudson as Malcolm deserve men
ton.
