Entertainments. HYPERION.

Despite the stormy weather a good sized audience attended Kellar's performance at the Hyperion last evening. To say his performance is wonderful does not half express the real value of the entertain ment. The most skeptic observer was kept in whirl of amazement the entire evening. Kellar was seen at his best in the cabinet tricks, which are all entirely new and novel. The entire performance is entirely new and its duplicate has never been seen here before.
 Charles Hoyts successful satirical com edy, "A Temperance Town" has recently completed phenomenal run of six months in Boston. It will be presented this and to morrow evenings with matinee Satur- day. The success of the play from the pen of the popular Charles H. Hoyt Is a merited tribute to his genius. It is impos- sible to describe the infection of the quaint humor and happy-go lucky character of 'Mink Jones'" the town drunkard in the piece, played by the irresistibly funny George Richards, or the comicsl appear ance of Eugene Garfield ss "Bipgo," his son in his serious intention to become dig niied and respected. The rest of the com pany, which Is headed by these two, is up bO UuO ulkA btnuud1u Ol cACC11ouSo reg 4ull6u by MT. Hoyt in the production of his plays. The production will be seen here, 1t is promised, exactly as in Boston where it has been playing continuously for half year.
 Sale of seats now open.
 "Wang" will be the attraction for one night only, Friday, September 15
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 The sprightly comic opera "Poor Jona- than" was presented last evening by the Fred Soloman Comic Opera company, and despite the bad weather there was large audience present. The story of the opera deals entirely with the tribulations of an American millionaire, and the scene is laid in New York, Monte Carlo, and on the Hudson. The opera is full of spicy melo- dies, and several of the airs are most pleas ing. The palace scene, which was used last evening, is one of the new gets which Manager Bunnell has had painted lately, and 1t was greatly admired by the audience. This is Fred Solomon's first season on the road at the head of his own company, but he has been seen many times in this city. Fred Solomon's impersonation of Poor Jonathan is all that could be desired. It is decidedly unique and his every action is that of an artist in his role. Miss Madge Leasing as Mollie, delights her audience from the start by the sweet quality of her voice and the brightness and spirit of her acting.
 Miss Drew Donaldson sang the score of Henrietta very aoeeptably though some what in vivaeity. MT. Rochester as Tobias Quickly was very acceptable. The chorus sang very well and showed that 1t would be received with distinct favor when 1t has done more rehearsing. The costumes were brilliant and the piece was we'll staged, This evening ''Nadjy" will be sung and at the matinee tomorrow "Poor Jonathan, !" and in the evening "Nadjy" will be pro- duced.
 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday even ing and Wednesday afternoon next week Norrison's powerful dramatic company will produce an elaborate scenic and dram atic version of Goethe's immortal "Fsust. !" The piece will be mounted with magnif cent scenic embellishments. Startling scenes that make tho poor miserable mor- tai feel his weakness when compared to the power of the immortal come in quick sue cession. For this reason "Faust" is 6 worthy moral lesson, as well as . gorgeous production of dramatic and scenic art. The production here will be complete in every detail.
 Look out for the boxing kangaroo.
 The last three days next week with mat. inee Saturday, Jefferson, ,Klsw and Erlang- CTS grand aquatic spectacular melodrams, "A Dark Seoret," will be presented by . strong company with the original scenery and effects used in the New York produc- ton.
