ENTER1IINME E N7S.
Hyperion Theater. MANTELI TONIGHT


 The gifted and romantic actor, Rob ert B. Mantell will appear at the Fly perion tonight, tomorrow night and at the matinee on Saturday in his new play, "A Secret Warrant" Yesterdays s Hartford Courant says of his presenta- ton of "A Secret Warrant" in that city Tuesday night:
 Following the example of so many actors of the romantic school MT. Rob ert B. Mantell appears this season in a play on the lines of adventure, love and sWordsmanship, made so popular by the novels of Conan Doyle, Stanley Weyman and others "A Secret War rant tells very pretty story which has a plot with number of new feat ures. The situations are clear and log ical and the climax is led up to without padding and with a bright dialogue that carries the audience with it. The costumes and staging are excellent rom a historical standpoint and no de- tail is omitted which may help to keep one in the atmosphere of French life in the eighteenth century.
 MT. Mantell plays the part of Louis de Beaumont, captain in the king s guard In 172O, during the regency of the Due d'Orleans. He meets the daughter of a tradesman, one of the bourgeoise, at a court ball and falls in love at first sight. She is promised by her father to marry the son of nobleman, whose sister was formerly in love with de Beaumont. A complicated story of in- tr1gue follows, in which de Beaumont fights single handed against the noble mans family, aided by a secret warrant which gives the name to the play and which finally enables him by gaining It and using it against them to win peace and his lady's hand. It is a pleasure to see the gradual but sure i'm proVement of MT Mantell over his pre- vlous roles. and with his fine voice and stage presence he cannot but grow in his profession
 The supporting company is very good, all the parts being in capable hands Miss Charlotte Behrens as the gold smiths daughter, has role excelently suited to her as charming, innocent girl, and the contrast with the gilded vice and intrigue of the French court IS brought out with convincing dis unctness. She gave her part both a sympathetic and artistic rendering. MT Turner as Bertrand, the father; MT. de Silke, as the marquis, and Miss Nina Morris as the adventures and court beauty were excellent
