4 MAGNIFICENT SUCCESS.

OuhruSs Brilliant Entertainment ht the
 Hyperion Last Evenlng-Fe of the
 PrOgram-New Special Features Tonight.
 The second might of the Foot Guards 8
 entertainment, Realism in Art" was
 most successful, the audience being
 very large and very enthusiastic. Ev-
 erything passed off in the most perfect
 manner There were no delays and no
 slips, and the greatest possible praise
 is due the management. Every feature
 of last nights program was good. First
 the boys from the public schools sang
 their patriotic songs under Professor
 Jepson's direction. Then the dancers from the Casino gave their entertain ment. Next came the first series of pie
 lures. These were fully described in yesterday's Journal and Courier" The posing and lighting were perfect. Miss Alice Campbell Francis of New York posed in two of this series and two of the next, and is remarkably good in pose and facial expression, especially in Molly Pitcher" where the attitude is so tense, Miss Sadie Thompson has a beautiful contraito voice and sings with good style She was encored after her singing of Robert Franz's Autumn Song"
 Next MT. Perkins gave his recitations and songs, and quite sustained his rep utation as a clever entertainer The secord series of pictures was given and excited as much applause as at the first performance. Every performer in these tableauX has a distinct pose and the groupings and ensemble effects are splendidly artistic They are by far the best living pictures we have seen here and are much more satisfactory than the attempts to reproduce the nude that have been given in New York.
 After this second series little Mildred Richards sang and danced. She Is a delightful young person and the audi ence was quick to show it's appreciation. Frank Edgar sang with good effect and pleasing style. Miss Minnie Belle Kay appeared by special request instead of Miss Francis Miss Kay is a great fa- vorite and was heartily greeted She recited Tennyson's Lady Clare" with charming simplicity and showed per- feet appreciation of the poem, not only in the characterization and dialogue, but by never losing sight of the factl that she was reciting poetry and giving just the proper rythmicel effects. The tableaux of the third series were very elaborate. Then came the Mandolin club, who always play well under Mir Johnson's leading.
 The tatbleau most eagerly awaited was the Living Descendants, com prlsing Edward c. Beecher, warden of Trinity church, Lieutenant James M and Lawyer Jason F. Thom- suE.
 The Easter hymn of the Trinity choir l boys is a most impressive feature.
 Miss Ross danced her serpentine | dance with exquisite grace and received a magnificent bunch of roses. The af- fair closed with an elaborate finale, in which all the favorites appeared.
 Colonel Fred Grant was unavoidably detained in New York by a trial which required bis presence in court. He tel egraphed his regrets and thanked the for their courtesy.
 Roemer of New York furnished the costumes and Muller of New York the wigs.
 Tonight Miss Elizabeth Kunz will re- cite. Great credit is due the Philhar- monic orchestra for their really admir- able music at these entertainments un- der the leadership of Mir Frank Fichtl. Much credit is due Mir Albert Operti of New York, who has supervised the staging and mounting of this produc- ton admirably The incidental music was composed Sy William J. Rostetter of New York.
