ENTERTAINMENTS.
IlYperion.

Hyperion.
 Miss Margaret Fuller is @ courageous young woman to start out on a starring tour equipped with the poorest kind of supporting company and presenting @ part like Camille" in which she in- evltably subjects herself to comparison with the most distinguished actresses of the age. Her faith in herself and her comeliness are her strongest rec concentrations for public favor Whether sincerity of purpose answers as a substitute for regular dramatic training is doubtful matter It is an old story about beginning at the bottom round of the laddsr to climb and only real genius can evade such truths. Miss Fuller has not genius, al- thought she seems to possess some tal- ent Her own performance last even ing was not uninteresting, although pretty crude, because of the evident honesty of her intentions. But the poverty of her support would have been enough to quence the fire of genius itself. Armand was played by pitiful young man, whose sole conception of acting was to spit out his Us and to hiss his S, and otherwise muttlate his worthy mother tongue, The other char acters were equally amateurish, with the exception of Duval, pore, played by Edwin Nalod
