HYPERION

Charles Dickson was welcomed by good
eized audience to witness the production Of
his new satirioal comedy "Willie" last
night. The piece is bran new, and after II
has been cut down will no doubt prove a
great success in the coming New York
production. The dialogue is very witty
and the whole piece full of funny situa-
tions. Mr.. Dickson has surrounded him
self with most excellent company, and at
a return engagement is cure of q large
| audience.
Perhaps no drama of recent years has
aroused so much literary and social discus-
sion that has followed the production of
Bronson Towards play "Aristocracy,"
which is to return here tonight. The
company presenting "Aristocracy" is a
strong one and includes such distinguished
players as Louis Massen, Frederic Bond,
J: Q. Blackstone, Bruce McRea, Charles
Wingste, W. 81. Montgomery, Harold
Howard, Blanch Walsh, Mary Hampton,
Helen Tracy and Josephine Hall. ARTIST

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
"The Engineer" was presented to large
house at the Grand last night. It will be
repeated this afternoon and evening.
An old-fashioned and amusing Fourth of
July celebration, with all Its attendants, IL
shown in the second act. The original and
only Plumbsrville Cornet baud ia here seen
in all Its glory on It's first outing. The
daring and courage of woman, her quick
ness to act in cases of extreme danger, is
often brought about through the sudden
peril of one she loves. This was never
more strlkingly brought to fact than In
this most vivid example shown In the
play. A man lies helpless, with but a mo-
ment to live, unconscious, no possible way
to stop his engine, which has been made the
instrument of his own death. A moment
of awful Suspense that means hours. A,
beautiful girl happening near sees the
mans terrible predicament; with enc
bound she springs to the engine, throws
the throttle, leaps to her lover, and a. she
lifts his head the danger Is passed. Imagine
it,you cannot, but see 1t you can. It is one
of the most thrilling scenes in "The Enoi-
neer."
The favorite Irish comedian Dan McCar-
thy will present "rhe Pride of Mayo" the
first three days next week. An exchange
says: Mr. Mccarthy has made an especial
effort to stage and mount the play most
deliberately and has given much attention
to details. In every act new scenery is
shown and the most beautiful effects are
produced. "The Haunted Graveyard" and
the ruins of "Abbey Moore" in the second
act, and the transformation of the 'Guar-
dian Angel" in the third act are very fine.
Mr.. Dan Mccarthy in the role of "Dick
Fitzgerald" has part that gives him .
better chance to show his talents than
heretofore, and that he made most dis
tinet hit Is shown by the frequent curtain
calls given him. Harry Aennick, Miss
Amy Russell and Miss Viola Armstrong
acted their parts to the life. Miss Lou
Ripley, the ''colleen," has q charming
voice. Her stage presence IL pretty and
her work of high merit. The comedian,
Charles Saunders, received an outbarst Of
applause ct each appearance.

tionsl song Of Spain, ella Psloms." Pre-
vious to that she sang Of the cigarette girl
and in response to An encore gave ssLa Pc
loma." So well did she sing, despite her
afaiction, that three times she was encored
and when she responded to curtain call
the applause was almost deafening. She
