HYPERION.
"Aristocracy," Bronson Howsrd's inter
eating play, WAS presented to good -sizsd
audience last evening by finely balanced
company. The two great climsxes-if such
they mas be oalled-of the play, the mar
riage of Virginia to Prince Haldenwald,
and Stookton's discovery of his wife's
filtration with the prince, drop into the
story almost, without at all developing out
of It, and are, the one entirely without
due motive, the other without sufficient
logical justification. A clever and enter
tertaini figure is that of the French |
duke, and his lines are full of sparkle and |
bouyaney, and character. When he says |
yond which even noblemen cannot goI" he |
pronounces one of the texts Of the play. |
Blanche Walsh, josephine Hall, Louis Ma |
son, A. A. Lipman, Mary Hampton and A.
Miller Kent are in the company and we'll
sustained their well-earned regulations as
talented members.
Thomas W. Keene, the eminent trsg-
edian, will present Richard III. at the
Hyperion Saturday evening and a rare
dramatic treat is assured. Mr.. Keene has
we'll won the high place hs holds as an
actor of s;erling merit. In reprodu cing
the character of Richard I'LL, the most
brilliant theatrical william of any stage,
Mr.. Keene has adhered az faithfully as
possible to the Shakespesrean ideal,
aided largely by the opinions of the great
commentators. The sale of eeats is now
open.
''Pof" NO ].
Only one day more before this musical
event takes place. The sale of tickets
shows that It will also be brilliant social
event, most of the boxes have been taken

certainly make hit with everybody. 1t

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
"Walker, London" will be presented ct
the Grand opera house tonight and Friday
and Saturday nightR. There will be one
matinee only, Saturday. An exchange
sage: James T. Powers in the title role is
q complete success and satisfactory to 6
degree. Never OVERRIDING the part, he has
the happy faculty of making the most Of
1t. Nothing is carried too far, yet no op.
portunities are missed. His company ID
satisfactory throughout. First In the af-
fections of a Rochester audience, of course,
was pretty Rachel Booth, who as Mamie
O'Brien seemed to present bright, new
improved edition of the original Jimpsey
Two other members of the company were
not strangers, Miss Lille Eidridge, who
will always be remembered as Countess
, Dobronowsks in 1.-THE Clemencesu Case, ,
and Miss Lillian Chantore, who has sp
peared here with Sol Smith Russell In
, peaceful Valley" playing Martha Howe
Mr.. Powers has very wisely not allowed
, the speciality element to intrude upon
: the romantic freshness and naturslnees Of
, his pretty little play; the graceful minia
ture dance by Rachel Booth, his own bur
letqae banjo turn, even the Thames min
: strels, are welcome.
Much interest Is evinced In Mr.. Charles
q. Hoyt's "a Temperance Town." which
, | will be seen on Tuesday evening next. The
play Is ever popular and abounds in hu
L l-Az HfaI Il l.
pendence of judgment which has charsc
terized even the most trivial of this an
thor's corrections, Hr. Hoyt has epdeav
orsd to illustrate the injustice of the
: workings of the prohibition laws. Tn,
play has had uubounded popularity and q
] good house for next Tuesday is we'll IS
sured. The sale of seats opens to morrow
PoLrs WONDERLAND.
. Better pleased audiences than those who
daily dispense from Wonderland would b,
hard to find. The bill this week is the bes
ever seen at this popular thester, and Nc
wonder the house is crowded daily. Every
act on the long bill is feature. Miss Ids
Siddons, the famous dancer, presents tn.
beautiful rainbow dance In a manner that
is bewilderipg. Miss Hattie Stewart and
Tommy Gillen give an exhibition of ecien
tito boxing that brings down the house
Armand and Granville In their operate
duets delight the audience. Indeed, 1t II
hardly necessary TO psrtisularlzs the vari
GUS acts, for the performance 10 excellent
throughout. and those who fail to visit
Wonderland this week will miss rare
treat.
