ENTERT4INITENIS.
Hyperion.

A. M. Palners company will present
 "Trilby" on Tuesday and Wednesday
 evening, May 2S 20. An exchange says
 of the performances: If anyone did not
 know that "Trilby" was taken from a novel We doubt much whether he would
 have discovered it last evening. As a piece of dramatic workmanship it Is truly admirable, and you should have seen how 1t took hold upon the au-
 dience. Everyone's attention was held fast from beginning to end, and through each one of the four acts you could have heard pin drop. It is long
 since we have seen an audience so com
 pletely spell bound at a theater. If the
 proof of the pudding is in eating, Mn
 Potter has certainly shown himself d
 dramatic cordon bleu of the first wa
 ter. More than this, he has preserved the characteristic Individuality of each
 one of Du Maurier's personages with a
 careful insight that leaves little,if any,
 thing, to be desired. Only he has
 swelled out Svengali to quite epic pro- portions, and with excellent results.
 Sale of seats opened yesterday morn ing, and there was a brisk demand for
 seats In fact, the opening sale is one
 of the largest yet recorded.
 DeWolf Hopper and the members of
 his merry company presenting that funniest of all comic operas entitled,
 ''Dr. Syntax," will on next Monday ev- ening make their reappearance in this city at the Hyperion theater, whose management promise that the very tuneful opera will be presented on an elaborate scale, as all the magnificent stage settings, the picturesque and bril- liant costumes, and in fact every detail that characterized it's brilliantly suc- cessful and highly remunerative en- gagement at the Broadway theater, New York city, will be utilized here. MT. Hopper will be seen as a jolly up-to-date pedagogue in which role, 1t Is said, he has achieved his greatest success his advent upon the comic opera stage. The comedian's supporting company this season is an unusually strong one, and includes Edna Wallace Hopper, the young and pretty wife of the comedian; Bertha Waltzinger, delightful songstress, and former member of the famous Bostonians; Jennie Goldthwafte, a fascinating soubrette; Alice Hosmer and Florine Murray, two capital comediennes, as we'll as Cyril Scott, Edmund Stanley, Alfred Klein, T. $.

IN THE NEW SUBURB.
People Went in Throngs to Buy House
Lots Yesterday.

Glenwood, Portland's new suburban
village that is to be, was gay place yes
terday, fully 1900 people attending the
sale of lots. They found that ample
preparation had been made for their COM
fort. Three large tents afforded cooling
shade, while several men were dispensing
ice cold lemonade, but not of the circus
variety. 1t was good lemonade, the kind
that is made at home, and the young
chap who contemptuously remarked that
he would bet it was circus lemonade, was
sadly in error. For those who wanted to
watch proceedings and gaze on their
beautiful surroundings, large num-
Der of chairs had been provided. They
watched novel performance, for under
the direction of Mr. Perkins, who has
managed the development of the property
and it's sale, for Wood Harmon & Co.,
seven men were actively engaged in sell
ing house lots to those among the throngs
who wanted to become property owners
in the new village The seven men found
plenty of customers for in the course of
the day they disposed of 65 lots. This
with the lots previously sold makes a
total of about 315, there being 376 lots in
the AZ acres. This is record breaker in
the history of real estate sales. 1t often
takes nine months or year to dispose
of one of these strips, but if this sale
keeps up as it promises to do, it will be
finished in another week, and it was
only week ago that it was begun. The
lots sold yesterday were of an aggregate
value, it is said. of nearly 500, 600 Last
evening Mr. Perkins entertained the sales
men at dinner.
