Entertainments.
HYPERION.

tits useless to attempt to describe the
night. There were three figures and
the most beautiful effects in coIors
were produced. The dances were some
what similar to those which she gave
here a number of years ago at Proc
tors opera house, but those she gives
now are attended with brilliant cleo
trical effects. The first part of the
program was given over to William P.
Sweatnam and his monologues; Charles
D. Kellogg, in imitation of bird warb-
ling; Miss Fanny Wentworth in music
al sketches. and Julius P. Whitmark,
who sings several songs.
Ada Rehan, supported by Augustin
Days company from Days theater,
New York, will appear in her latest sue
cess, 1.-THE Countess Gucki," tonight
The Boston Standard says: If one were
to select any particular excellence in
Miss Rehan's acting, it, perhaps, would
be her ease in getting the spirit of the
part. She had, of course, a chance to
play upon the side of life which she
most enjoys, but one hardly thinks of
what the actress likes when one views
such a presentation as we We're favored
with at the Hollis last night. The work
of Miss Rehan was superb Her frank
portrayal of the good-natured yet ex-
perienced countess, will be long remem-
bered.
1t is pleasant to see such support as
was accorded Miss Rehan. Mr.. Rich
man, as the devil-may-care trooper
as we'll as Miss Lewis as the quaint
old appendage to the aristocracy, were
sincerely realistic But we must not
forget Miss Nelson. She has charm
which reaches over the footlights Her
fresh way of interpreting her part was
very enjoyable.

pany, will appear in 1.-THE Merchant of
