Poll,s Wonderland Theater.

The beautiful Creoles are fascinating all who go to the Wonderland this week with their brilliant spectacular novelty So much interest Is felt in electricity at this time that anything new in' the way of effects Is always sure to fascinate the multitude. That these Creoles have discovered a novel use of the electric fluid is admitted by all who see the splendid spectacular Advertisement which they present. When they were the chief feature of Little Christopher" during three months of it's run in New York, the metropolis recognized the novelty as one of the most brilliant and enchanting that this season has developed, and much regret was experienced when 1t was taken out of it to make way for another special attraction. The Creoles' novel spectacular production must, how ever, be seen to be appreciated. A splendid vaudeville bill is given In ad- dition. The two Clippers present some very bright comedy, MT. Ward being one of the brightest comedians seen here in many day. MT. Curran's sweet singing Is also charming fea- ture of the Clippers act, and 1t at- tracts and pleases everyone. The Franks, Wills and Halpin, Mir. Fore man and Miss West, John and Nellie Mccarthy, Miss Minnie Bells, and Barry and Bannon are actors who dis tinguish themselves on a bill that is ex- ceptionally excellent for the prices charged. And it must not be forgot ten that the prices are always popu- lar, never varying with the character of the attractions presented.

Grand opera House.

Don't forget the summer popular prices at the Grand opera house to- day. At the matinee performance 1Oc and 20c will be the admission charged to see Denman Thompson and George w. Ryers great play, ""The Two Sis ters," and in the evening reserved seats on the lower floor will be BOG and 50c, and sofa chairs 75c, prices which place 1t within the reach of all to see a $1 show fon very trifiing fee. There will be no change in this scale of prices ex- cepting on May 6, z, 8, when the per formanoes will be for the benefit of the Actors fund of America. On Thurs day, May 9, the summer popular prices will be resumed.
 In "The Two Sisters" the authors, so to say, cut out 8 small slice of the real world and put it on the stage to look at, deepening it's shadows and height ening its lights just enough, and only just enough to keep it from seeming flat and colorless under the glow of the footights.
 Donnelly and Girard will be the at- traction at the Grand Opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday even ings.. They will present Frank Du- mont's laughable farce comedy, 'The Rainmakers," in which they both appear to such humorous advantage. The cy- clone scene is one of the funniest bits of acting seen here in a long time, and this week will be made still more tell ing by the introduction of a number of new electrical effects, The company Is entirely competent.
 "The Rainmakers' matinee Saturday. The popular summer prices will pre- vail.

ENTERTAINMENT.
Hyperion.


 Mir Edward Harrigam will be seen at the Hyperion tomorrow evening in "The Major" supported by his New York company. An exchange says: "This play is specially suitable to MT. Harrlgan's talents; his tricks of man. ner, his voice and his wit all lend then- selves admirably to the part. The song, 'For I Am the Mayor Gilfeather," as probably enjoyed more lasting popu- larity than any song that Dave Braham even composed or Harrigan ever sang. However, "The Major" is by no menas one-part play. There are four or five strong parts in 1t. The first of the three scenes of the first act, steam ship wharf, is an exceptionally good piece of stage setting. Another scene is the explosion of Pops fireworks fac tory, in which a dozen darkies are blown into the sky like rockets to de- scend quickly like the sticks thereof" Sale of seats now open.
 Roland Reed in the Politician" will appear Saturday evening, May 4.
