 HYPERION.
 The production of "The Girl I Lsft Be- hind Me" last evening was e most excellent one, and MT. Bunnell Is to be congratu- lated in securing so fine a company to sp- pear in this city. "The Girl Left Behind Me' has all the better elements of the best melodrama, without any of the pathos which is common to that class of dramatic work. The interest in 1t begins shortly after the first speech is spoken, and it steadily advances, progresses with incress- ing excitement, constantly gaining in in- rensity, until, when the great climax of the play is reached the audience was eager to give the actors their reward in burst of enthusisstic applause. The play deals with condition of American life-thst of the Union soldiers in the far west which is but little known here, but which is interesting, and has all the charm of novelty. The characters introduced are sll careful and accurate studies from the life of the day and the place, and they are interesting in themselves, and doubly 90 in the situations in which they are placed and the relationship which they bear to each other. The play Is excellently con- structed and appeals with convincing force and fine effects to the hearts and sympa- thtes of the spectators. The great climax of the play is reached when the hero re- turns, backed by regiment of soldiers,
 to the relief of his comrades, who are about to succumb to the Indians, and just
 at the moment when the general is about
 to shoot his brave daughter, who prefers
 that death to tho degradation which would
 follow her capture by the savages.
 Mscyln Arbuckle was diRnifisd, impres-
 sive and commanding as the general. Mrs.
 Berlsn- Gibbs, enacted the character of the
 heroine with excellent discretion and good
 judment Others in the cast deserving coumendation are Mart. E. Kelsey Harold Rassell, Henry Herman, Master George Enos, Irene Everett, Belle Bucklin and Violet Rand. The cast is 8 strong one throughout. The performance will be repeated this evening and deserves to be witnessed by a crowded house worthy of such production.
 "Lady Windermere's Fan" will be pre-
 sented at the Hyperion Saturday afternoon
 and evening, February 10. Oscar Wilde,
 once ehafed by tho wits, is now feeling
 the shafts of envy, owing to his succsss ss
 play writer. Burnand, the editor of Punch, and an unsuccessful playwright,
 attended dinner given by Wilds's man. sger in honor of the one hundredth night
 of "Lsdy Windermere's Fan," but his con- l pleasant and led to delightful retort from Wilde. The conversation had turned upon the epigrams with which Wilde's play is Burnand, "thers's nothing in them, but they sound as if they meant . great deal.
 Every week get a score just as good as yours down at the office of Punch and they go into the waste basket" "Ah," drawled Wilde, "thst explains why Punch is so
 dull" Sale of seats now open. There will be a matinee Saturday afternoon for the convenience of many, including the out oi town patrons. The performance will be repeated in the evening.
 | Interest in the coming appearances of
 Madame Patti at the Hyperion will nc
 doubt be fully ss great % in all other cities ! Wuelo 6uo sPpsnIs. Auo pressure Sitet hearing "Home, Sweet Home, :" the wonder l after her "Echo. Song," and the sublime effect of the simple "The Last Rose of Summer" are ever astingly fixed in the memory and heart of those who have heard her.
 On Friday, February IS, at the Hype- | rion, we are to have an opportunity of hearing the great diva once more. The program promises to be Q most brilliant one Madame Patti will sing "Una Vocs" from Rossinni's Barber of Seville," and
 this remarkable piecs of vocalism seems to be the great prima donna's own nowa- days. Few, If any, dare to sing 1t after her. It ia one of the most difficult forid pieces that Rossinni ever wrote. Madame Patti will also appear in the second act of
 "Msrths," together wi h the assisting sr- tists, who are host in themselves, Mlle G. Fabbri, contralto, will sing the role of Nancy; MT. Darward Lely, tenor, that of Lionelie, and Signor Novara sings Plun- kett. Of course Madame Patti will be the Lady Henrietta, and Q more piquant or perfectly disguised English country maiden under the name of Martha could
 not be imagined. Sale of seats opens Monday, February 12

 The mere announcement of the coming of the original Swedish dialect comedy, "Ole Qlson, ," at the Grand opera house the last three days this week, and there will be matiuees Friday and Saturday, has al- ready caused very notable stir among local theater- goers. "Ole Olson" contains much to amuse and interest that class of people enjoying an evening of laughter at the thester, the many complicated situa- tions in which Ole finds himself furnish ing 8 world of amusement for all. For mer presentations of this piece can in no
 way compare with the production this season. The management have gotten to- gether . highly competent company of comedians and singers, and with the aid I of some new specially features the show Is materially frightened and strengthened; :; and with its present array of artists takes | rank with the leading comedy organiza- tions travelling. Secure seats early. L J. Carter's new scenic play, ''The Tor nado," full of realistio situations, comes to the Grand opera house the first three days next week with the usual matinees Tuesday and Wednesday. It is replete with attractive novelties. The pictorial matter used in advertising the play fail to do 1t justice. The scenes shown in the play are vividly impressive.
 PoLTs WONDERLAND THEATER.
 The excellent bill given at Wonderland
 this week serves to attract large audiences
 daily. Master Eddie Abbott, the boy ma
 Rician, has repeated here the triumphs he
 has made elsewhere. He Is certainly a
 very clever boy, and the fests he performs
 would do credit to much older artist.
 He ie, however, only one feature of very
 good show. All of the various artists on
 the long bill presented are framed as
 masters in their respective lines, and the entire performance gives the best of satis- faction.
