Entertainments.
HYPERION THEATER.

"That Girl From Mexico" will be pre-
sented at the Hyperion tomorrow evening.
The debut of Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Drew
as joint stars was made with marked sue
cess. The play is very diverting, the dia-
logue brisk and brilliant. As Jack Ran
dolph, Sidney Drew is very amusing. Mrs.
Drew as the shrewish Diabella Smythe
plays an exceedingly e1acting part with
infinite tact and discretion, and in spite of
her assumed shrewishness she was charm
ing always. Mr.. and Mrs. Drew are dis
tinct additions to the list of American
stars. The well-known actor, Mckee Ran
kin, is also great addition to the cast.
The company should play to large au-
dienoe in this city.
"The Grey Mare" the comedy written
drew large audience at the Hyperion last
The play was preceded by curtain raiser
entitled "Old Friends" The piece was
well put on the stage, and the costumes
were good and the performance was
thoroughly creditable. The company ia
good throughout, we'll balanced and quite
equal to the requirements of the play.
Should 1.-THE Grey Mare" again be stabbed
at the Hyperion it will be greeted again
with large audience.
