dancers, and merry burlssquers, who, to-

duced, strange sweet songs are sung, and
graceful, sensational dances are executed.

scented.

HYPERION.
An unique entertainment comes to the
Hyperion theater next Thursday night in
that given by the eminent prestidigitateur,
Hermann. The entertainment consists
of rare and all startling phenomena to
which his own original and collective
brain has given existence. His work SEEM
tngly sets at naught all natural laws. It
is replete with mysticism and those occult
deeds ordinarily ascribed to the redoubta-
BILE prince of darkness. Yet everything is
simply done, and Hermann frankly dis
claims any supernatural agencies. The re-
mainder of the combination ia composed of
lot of unexoeptionally clever people.
sYakogo," the Chinese mystery, will be
included in the program.
Sale of seats opens tomorrow.
Fun and laughter will run rampant
next Friday and Saturday evenings with
matinee Saturday, when Hoyt's "a Trip
to Chinatown" will be presented. "A
Trip to Chinatown" is the most successful
creation of the authors versatile genius.
Since last presented here the piece has
been revampea by Mr.. Hoyt himself and
improved In many ways. Mr.. Hoyt has
satirised in q clever manner several Ameri-
can foibles and conceits In this piece. The
play bellies the title and instead of q visit
to the almond-eyed celestial portion of
Frisco, the audience Is transported to in
teresting comedy scenes.
Sale of seats opens Wednesday.
