Entertainments. HYPERION

The "Cfust of Society" was presented to fair sized and sppreoiative audience. This piece is one which combines comedy and tragedy, representing very naturally the so-oalled Bohemian life of London, and showing wildly the difference be- tween this and the truly "upper crust" of society.
 The company Is we'll gotten up, con- tsining some very successful artists. Miss Zsffie Tilbury ss "Mrs. Esstlake Chapel'' made great hit, acting to perfection the interruptions woman who stops at nothing to gain her ends. Arthur I.swis in the character of "Oliver St. Aubyn" was good, while Arthur Forrest as his friend, Captain Randall Northoote" was slso we'll received. Kathleen Kerrigan in the role of "Mrs. Ernestine Echo," the way ward wife of ''Cavendish Comyns, M. F." was very pleasing in her naive way.
 The audience was we'll pleased with the performance and showed their spprecia- tien by frequent applause.
 George Grossmith, the inimitsble Eng lish monologue entertainer, will deliver his humorous and musical recital at the Hyperion theater tonight. As humor- ist and entertainer he has made brilliant record. His specislties are models of good taste and refinement, and provoke mirth that Is at once spontaneous and lasting. The program includes travesty on the American drama and American music, Into which Is infused much that is witty and ridiculous. His illustrations on the piano are especially pleasing. If you want an evening of solid enjoyment go and hear Grossmith.
 A strong company will support MT. Charles Dickson in the presentation of his new production "Willie," on Friday even ing. It will be idsntically the same as that which will support Mir.

There will be e matinee ss well ss the evening performance to-day. All who have seen the play this week have been highly interested.
 "Ths Engineer" will be presented Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, with matinee on Saturday. An exchange saysI "The Engineer" was given its first local production at the Standard theater last evening before e completely filled and enthusiastic house. The play Is decidedly realistic, and consequently dealt with hu- man nature In e natural way Many of the situations were very sensational, al- though not 80 much so as to give an i'm probable tone. A vein of clean-cut comedy coarsed through the drama, and together with the spscialtiss that were introduced afforded very satisfsctory entertainment.
 PoLIs WONDERLAND rHKATKR.
 The most notable feature that has been presented at Wonderlsnd Is the Tortsjada troup of Spsnish troubsdours. These artists have made the greatest hit of any of the foreign artists that have appeared In New York this season, and it was only by the exercise of strategem and the offer of m immense salary that they were Induced to leave the metropolis for this one week at Wonderland. They return to New York next Monday for an indefinite period at Eden Musee. They present perfect rep of the social life and amuse- nents of Spain, including the bull fight, the mnsic, songs end dancing of their native country, and although theydo not spesk word of Epglish their act Is SO full of life and viyAcity that 1t is understood and enjoyed by all. The other features on the bill this week are good without q single and al declare the program the best that has ever been seen ct this popu. lar theatsy.
