entertainments.

Once again the popular Lew Dockstader
delighted large audience at the Hyperion.
The specialties fairly b1bbled over with
wit and humor, and the audience was we'll
entertained from the rise to the drop of
the curtain. The new version of Kelley
treatment is more than up to the mark;
also many popular ballads were rendered.
"Charley's Aunt" will be presented by
one of Charles Frohmsn's best companies
this afternoon and evening and tomorrow
evening and Saturday afternoon and even
ing. The plot Is as follows: Jack Chesney
and Charley Wykeham, chums at Oxford,
are in love with Kitty Verdum and Amy
Spettique, wards of an old curmudgeon,
who, to break up the relations between the
young psople, is about to send his charges
off t, Scotland. Charley's aunt, from Bra
I'll, ia expected on visit to her nephew,
30 the boys conclude that under her cha
psronage 1t will be eminently proper to
invite the young ladies to lunch at their
rooms. They do so, and are thrown into
CONSERVATION by a telegram announcing
elot tbO Auut uho POStpOuCu ucE flblL LOt u
few days. 1t Ia the boys only opportunity
to propose to their lady loves, and the
sight of another chum, Lord Fancourt
Babberly, rugged up in feminine attire,
comes like an inspiration. They insist that
he shall impersonste the dilstory aunt, and
he is fairly forced to do so by the appear
ance on the scene of the testy guardian of
the girls and Sir Francis Chesney father of
Jack. AsCharley's aunt is supposed to be
worth many millions the guardian and Sir
Francis both lay siege to her, with very
| laughable results. Matters are further
complicated by the arrival of the real aunt,
| accompanied by the young lady with whom
the spurious aunt is in love. The usual
| understanding makes everyone happy.

| Josiah Hopkins, wealthy New Yorker,
has mania for collecting pictures and
various specimens of art, much to the hor-
TOR of his aunt, stsid old maid. Among
the pictures owned by Mr.. Hopkins is one
entitled Guiana, the Sultans favorite, par
| ticularly obnoxious to his maiden aunt on
| account of the costume. One night when
Mr.. Hopkins is alone in the house the pic
| ture comes to life. Then the fun begins
Hopkins resorts to all kinds of strategy to
| keep her out of sight of his wife, all of
| which is fruitless. His aunt urges his wife
| to procure divorce, and his uncle threat
| ems to horsewhip Hopkins, who is almost
| frerz'ed by the serious complications and
trouble Guiana has been the innocent means
of bringing upon him. ALL is finally righted
and the peace of the family restored by
Zulsna's marriage to Mr.. Rodney, friend
of Hopkins, who was deeply smitten with
| her charms as picture. Sale of seats now
open.
