HYPERION
The great and only Hermann appeared
before a crowded house at the Hyperion
last evening. He performed great many
tricks and sent away a badly mysti6ed au-
dience at the close of the performance.
Besides the old tricks of taking watches,
flowers, rabbits, ETC., cut of silk hats. he
had many new and interesting feats. His
spirit seanee, which introduced a cabinet
scene, and de-sye done to
death" which was skeleton dancing to
that time worn tune, drew forth much ap-
plause. His masterpiece, however, was
the Chinese mystery, ''Yakoyo, or Chinese
Chinsman pass from one box to another
when both boxes were suspended in mid
air. All of his tricks were unfathomable,
and everyone present went home fully
satisfied.
Hoyt's ga Trip to Chinatown" will bs
presented this evening and tomorrow
evening, and at the special matinee to-
morrow at 2 p m. The caste that will
present the piece contains several of the
original New York company. The music

novelties in this liue, presenting for the

Ta-ra-ra boom-de-ay. Sale of seats now
open.
The Manola Mason company will pre-
sent the musical comedy "Friend Fritz" at
this theater Monday evening next OF
Mr.. Mason's ability there is no doubt, but
great curiosity was at first evinced in the

accomplishments were alone known. But
her Suzel in ''L'Ami Fritz" is a great
treat.
