ENTERTAINMENTS.
HYperion.

MT. Robert TIilliard appeared at the Hyperion theater last evening and pre- scented an extremely amusing farce, "The Mummy" before @ large audi ence. It is written by George Day and Allan Reed and is enjoying long run at a popular London theater. MT. Hilliard spent his summer in England and his time was not spent in vain be- cause he has succeeded in "bagging' d good play and success should reward his taste. Of course 1t seems almost 8 dissertation to think of MT. Hilliard (we had almost called him "Bobby'D de- scending to real farce, and even sacri- ligious that he should be obliged to forswear smart clothes and appear in low comedy clothes. But the recom- pense for such pathetic sacrifice is that the farce is really amusing and that MT. Hilliard has really most excellent figure and looks quite handsome in his Egyptian togs. The idea in the plot is fresh and some of the lines are bright. MT Hilliard gave an admirable per formance of the mummitied "Rameses" and he was especially resisted in his labors by Miss Amelia Bingham as 'Hettie Van Tassel Smythe" The rest of the company were fair and will be better when they have memorized their lines. Miss Vivian Bernard put great deal of energy into the part of the lit tie colored maid, Cleopatra" and de- spite some overacting was rather funny The scenery was quite hand some and altogether "The Mummy will evidently go.
 Kellar has no end of fun letting pa irons tie his hands with ropes as se- curely as they know how, only to find his hands free in second after they have finished But he ties them up again in an instant, just as they were, and as often as you like. "Out of Sight" or How to Get Rid of a Wife, gives the divorce courts cards and spades in it's own game. 'Fly-to" is a mysterious complication of the transmission of astral bodies through the air, as advocated by the mahatmas of India. All these, and more, will be features of Kellar's program at the Fly perion tomorrow evening. Sale of seats now open.

Polls Wonderland Theater.

Lumiere's cinematographe has broken all records for popularity as an amuse- ment attraction in New Haven. Ever since it was put on exhibition ten days ago at Polls Wonderland theater it has been seen by enormous crowds, and the interest in it's marvelously beautiful moving pictures is quite as intense to- day as it was the first time they were seen And it is a fact that the oftener one sees the beautiful moving pictures the more enthusiastic does he become in praise of their marvellous realism. A splendid speciality bill is also a part of the entertainment, being contributed by MT. Daly and Miss Revere, Ford and Lewis, Prince Kokin, the six Rinehart sisters, Mile. Mignonette, MT. McCabe and Miss Emmett, and Sloan and Rus sell. The einematographe is exhibited three times daily, at 9:30 in the after noon, and in the evening at S:30 and 10:20.

Grand Opera House.

There was a big house at the Grand lats night at the first performance here of "A Pair of Jacks by Rich and Maeder's comedians. The piece was written by H. Grattan Donnelly, the author of Natural Cas- and Later On'' and is a screaming farce with those same Imaginable features which made his previous successes. It has a good plot, the fun arising from the series of complications consequent upon
 the presence in the same house of two people of strikingly similar appear
 ance. The theme is not knew, but the
 situations are original and the scenes
 grow steadily funnier until the climax IS reached in the last act The com pany Is good throughout and includes
 several well known and popular per- formers who are old fayorites here,
 The roles of the two Jacks" fall to Charles Udell and George Ricketts. Sol. Aiken was capital as Professor Jenkins Queer' and his specialties were
 much enjoyed, particularly ''The blow almost killed father" which Dan Daly sings in The Lady Slavey." Julia Aiken was excellent as ''Pocahontas Smart a remnant seen on bargain i days only" Marion Gray and Jessie | West were good in their roles and both were received with great favor. The | specialties are clever throughout. In the first act MT. Aiken and the com pany do the popular Bandit" scene 1 from Tn Gay New York In the sec ond act, among the good turns were MT. UdelPs dancing and singing, She
 Must Bea Millionaire" by Jessie West and You're So Good Daddy" by Mar 1 ion Gray. The play will undoubtedly l be presented to packed houses at all the remaining performances.
 | Willard Lees production of 'In the
 Heart of the Storm" will be seen at the
 Grand opera house the first three days | of next week MT. Lee is one of the prominent actors of to-day, and his TO- mantle play is one of the greatest mel | odramatic productions of the season.
 It has a strong plot that may be easily | followed, and the dramatic situations
 are intensified by the electrical and
 mechanical effects. The comic climaxes
 are very funny. MT. Lee assumes the
 role of the hero, Captain Paul Hudson
 of the United States revenue cutter ser vice. There will be matinee Wednes- day.

ACCORDING TO current rumor-nOne
Of those who were present will talk
about it-some very sensational re-
marks were made by Chairman Wal.
ker, Of the house banking and curren
cy committee at the last meeting Of
the committee. Mr.. Walker is report
ed TO have said that the failure Of the
committee 10 agree upon some salts
factory financial bill was because
nearly every member of the committee
was interested directly or indirectly
In some banking institution, and were
more intent upon looking out for
ests Of the people who elected them 10
congress. lie is also reported 10 have
appealed 10 the members OF the com
mittce 10 drop their selfish schemes
for legislation in the interest
OF individuals and do something for
the benefit OF the people at large.
The queer part OF this reported aceu-
sation Of Mr. Walkers is that only
three Of the seventeen members Of the
committee acknowledge any oonnec-
ton with banks-Representative Lefe-
yer, president Of the National bank at
Newpaltz n. Y; Representative spal-
ding, director OF national bank al
Monroe, Mich, and Representative
Hil, vice president Of a national bank
at Norwaik, Conn. Mr. Walker should
be more specific. He must have in
formation connecting other members
OF the committee with banking inter
ests, as three members cannot be con-
sidered nearly every member Of the
committee,' nor could three mem bers
control committee Of seventeen.
