 HYPERION.
 A charming reproduction of Lester Wal lacks romantic drama, "Rosedale," was given last evening by the new company from the Grand opsra house, Boston, and large audience was present to testify its appreciation of the excellent manner in which Manager Dexter presented this very popular and successful play. The applause that greeted the appearance of each of the numerous fsvorites iu the cast must have been exceedingly gratifying to all con- cerned. Miss Annie Clarke, ss Lady Florence May, repeated the strong and finished impersonstion of the character with which she has heretofore afforded such great satisfaction, and Miss Kate Ryan was pleasing and effective in the role of Tabitha Stork,, the spinster. Miss Helen Dayne made hitas Sarah Sykes, while Mics Belle Stokes achieved all possible success in the quiet role of Lady Adela Grey. The part Of Rosa Lsig gh was In new hands, Miss Sadie Martinot rendering 1t in 8 de- Hghtfu1 way. It is one which she is well fitted to fill, and in her assumption of the character she added another to her grow ing list of stage triumphs. The attract iveness of her charming personality was added to by some exceedingly dainty and pretty gowns, the first being of white cash mere, the next 8 coral colored china silk dinner dress, which was followed by pale pink-shsded feulard, with email, black dots, and the fourth was of black and white striped surah.
 The nf tha nlQv partakaa ally of the purest and most qualified elements of comedy and seriousness, is embellished | with sweet melodies throughout, and has | for one of It's chief characters a most charming and lovable child pert, which stirs the heart of every auditor to the depths. The plot of 'Rosedale," while in- teresting, is not intricate, and shows how we'll MT. Wallack knew the desires of | amusement lovers, and how well he stud l jed human nature. In every scene there l appears the element of naturalness, and no | word or gesture, unnecessary. mars the smoothness of the play at any time. | MT. Joseph Haworths vigorous and manly presentation of Elliot Grey was 8 repetition of his former fine work. The scenes between him and Miss Martinot, where she bandsge, his wounded hand, and again where she instruets him in the rendering of song, were particularly eff fective and charming bits of love-making. MT. Frank J. Keensu as Miles McKenna, the chief of the gypsies, captured large share of the honors of the evening, and his strong work throughout the piece merited the highest praise.
 | As Matthew Leigh, MT. Charles Inslee was, as heretofore, excellent, and MT Price made the part of Colonel Cavendish May ooolly and consistently villalnous, while as Burberry Kobb Mr. Mestayer was ss hu- | morous ss ever.
 | Little Olive Smith, a six year-old, of Boston, and the smalles. child ever seen in the part, acquitted herself with much credit as Arthur May, and the others in the cast | were commendsble in their efforts.
 On the whole the play was most accept able and is deserving of full house this evening. The Rosedsle manor house grounds wide, spacious and artistic, and the gypsy dell by starlight with the rescue by the soldiers, will thrill and elsctrify, | and the conservatory and ball room of the manor with the incidental grand ball, par ticipated in by handsome young ladies and | gentlemen, in the roles of English lords and ladies, is scene of artistic beauty. house this evening. There will be no matinee to day as was at first expected.
 Russell's comedians will appear on Fri- l day and Saturday of this week.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 1 Another large house attended the Grand | opera house last night to witness the ''Span of Life" and that they were we'll pleased was shown in the enthusiasm in which all the great scenes were greeted. It Is not generally known that the incident of the money being stolen in the lighthouse is founded upon quite a celebrated case in England. A young girl received large sum of money and being fearful of its lover, then in charge of the Coffin Rock lighthouse. The following night the Hghts were not lit and an investigation led to the discovery of the lighthouse keeper badly wounded and robbed. The only clue to follow was the num- ber of the notes, fortunately pre- served, and after some months the thief and would be murderer was run to earth, convicted and imprisoned. Sutton vane | immediately adopted the incident into the ''Span of Life" and all who have seen the wonderful scene can readily see how easy such crime could happen, and discovery only come when the lights remained un- | lit. The span scene is another triumph of stage realism and deserves the applause which always follows it. The company we noticed in former edition and can only ssy they are 'in il" from start to finish. The week promises a large profit both to MT. Bunnell and the company. | PoLI's WONDERLAND.
 At Polls Wonderland theater the new entertainment of the week is meeting with big success, and those who have witnessed the performance pronounce it the best ever seen here. The feature, the great Keller, is the hit of the show. He performs mar vicious feats of daring and agility. Among the other special attractions Felix and Claxton, vocalists and novelty artists, re- eeived the most applause. The La Maritime children in their pleasing speciality were enthusiastically eacored, as were Walsh and Mullelly, the Irish senators, In Tim McFarlon's Brother in Law"
