a BRILLIANT SUCCESS

Already Assured for the Foot Guards
Coming Grand Entertainments.
The Foot Guards are aiming at per-
lection in producing their tableaux at
the Hyperion. The rehearsals are pro-
crossing with great promptftude and
much enthusiasm nightly.
The Napoleonic craze, which is an inn
+ portation, has been superseded by a
Washington craze, and in this city the
mania has reached an acute stage.
The town bred and born of '76 take
great pride in the fact that they alone
4 took UP the gauntlet for our independ-
ence, and to be a! descendant Of Rev.
olutionary family implies very great
distinction indeed.
The long list of prominent families
who are patrons of the Foot Guard ex-
& hibftion shows the intense interest the
public take in this patriotic and beauti-
Il full production.
There is nothing which cultivates a
more refined taste in community than
the public exhibition of artistic pictures.
They appeal to our highest senses and
speak universal language.
There will also he several tableaux
exhibited which have nothing to do
= with the American Revolution, but will
be none the less charming on that ac-
count No professional talent what
lever will be employed and the famous
Hship scene from paul Jones" will be
portrayed by the gallant lads of the
NAVAL Militia.
"Mil1et's Angelus" will be given with
the aid Of voices from the cathedral
choir, and our own high school boys,
hinder Professor Jepson's skillful direc-
Eion, will render the national anthems
BIZ France, England, Russia, Germany
hnd America.
AS a compliment TO the Daughters of
he Revolution, Chappel's "Moll Pitch
br" will be shown loading her disabled
husbands gun and helping the artillery
hen to win the day.
The preparation of these tableau vi
rants is more difficult task than the.i
casual spectator realizes particularly
when they are to be represented with
Appropriate music electrical lights,
ostly properties and all the spectacular
fleets Of the Foot Guards production

srtainments will be witnesser by
