HYPERION.
"Across the Potomac" will be presented
on Friday night and Saturday afternoon
and Saturday evening AS it's title would
indicate, 1t is founded on the late war;
The drama is cleverly constructed and does
not exceed to any considerable extent the
bounds of probability or possibility, while
depicting scenes which might have trans-
pied during the late unpleassntness. 1t
of course affords scope for the hero and
heroine to demonstrate their bravery and
clsverness in the most trying situations,
and the conventional love soenes, indis-
pensable to all melodramas, and especially
war dramas, are not omitted by the au-
thors. Sale of seats opens tomorrow.

very good looking.
