Entertainments.

The Hyperion was filled with select
audience last evening to welcome Lottis
Collins and her vaudeville company. It is
a rare occurrence that the Hyperion has
had such such an audience to witness this
class of entertainments. Miss Collins ap-
peared in musical sketch, entitled ga
Naughty Substitute" as Dolly Cspers,
from the Gaisty theater, in which she in
troduced her unique specialties and her
latest success, "Marguerite." To say that
she took the house by storm would be q
rather weak expression, as encore followed
encore until Miss Collins became so IA
tigued that it was impossible for
and dancing In response to the CON
tinued vigorous applause she tripped
to the footlights and said: IT thank you
all for your overwhelming ovation on nay
return to this country. I shall remain as
I always have been, yours truly, Lottie
Collins" The rest of the company was
excellent. Terry, the man with the mys-
terious fingers, gave an excellent shadow
graph exhibition. Severus Sehafer, per-
formed come daring and wonderful feats in
juggling. Erneste Arville gave many per-
feet limitations of different instruments
and responded to several encores. Marion,
Hayes and Marion. as the Oxford athletes,
were excellent. The rest of the company
included Miss Cohn, balladist; Albert
Christian, baritone, Conroy and Fox and
Gilbert and Goldie.
Donnelly and Girard come to the Hyper.
ion on Thursday evening next in "The
Rsinmakers." In the final chorus, "The
Electric Girls" each member of the com.
pany is bejewelled with tiny inoandescent
light, which is very novel and effective. Ber-
ns1d Dyllyn, Edward CARVE, Frank o. Brien,
Misses Ida Rock, Kate Allen, Fannie En-.
gle, George Hawle and Helen Smith are
all seen to good advantage. The stage set
tings and costumes are very fine. Sale Of

Cranes great American play, ''The Sena
tor" 1.-THE Senator" reminds one of "The
Henrietta" in its tone, its action and its at
mosphere, and 1t has something. too, thai
makes one think of "a Gold Mine," but i,
is not ia not in any sense an imitation OF
either play. 1t is clever, bright and in.
teresting comedy, which can stand upon ite
own merit without borrowing support
from "reminiscences. Sale of seats now
open.

The new four-ac drama Scott Marbles
"House With Green Blinds" was enthusi

succeeds to the doctors practice and plots
to do away with the new husband. Then

and Frank E. Aiken in the dual role of
Dr.. Meeker, and the detective were de.
servedly applauded. Miss Francis Olney,
Mrs Neeker. The dramais effective.
ly staged, the setting of the third
act being startlingly realistic. In this
scene the heroine to save her husband's
life makes slide on the telegraph wire
from one side of the stage to the other.
"House With Green Blinds" is strong
play and will be seen again tonight, and
tomorrow afternoon and evening.
