 "UNDER THE POLAR STAR"
 Under the Polar Star" was given again last night at the Hyperion and drew large audience. It will be re- peated again this evening. From a spectacular standpoint Under the Po- lar Star" marks new era in nautical melodrama.
 Other plays of the sea may have been mounted as expensively as this one, but there has been none in which scene painters and mechanics have achieved such realistic results. The collision with the iceberg in a heavy fog, the burning of the stranded steamship with the two principal characters bound to the mast, and the drifting of the ice foe, were three scenes last eve ming which drove the huge audience wild with delight.
 All the characters of the piece were of popular order The hero was qui- ct and good; the heroine simple and easily imposed upon, and the villain | deep voiced and treacherous. The ac- | tors had been very carefully schooled l in their parts and acquitted themselves fairly well, although there was no great exhibition of histrionic ability at any point. Miss Grace Henderson played the heroine with proper melodramatic effect. Cuyler Hastings as the villain was good. Leo Dietrichstein as com | ical little scientist and Theodore Bab- | cock. newspaper man. had the funny business all to themselves and contriv- ed to inject a good deal of humor into their scenes. W. H. Thompson. the character actor, was cast as the Esqui- maux guide He made the character a puzzling one and played the part well.

 l CHEVALIER.
 ! Albert Chevalier and his excellent company, under the management of Charles Frohman, come to the Hyperi- on on Monday night. It is not that Chevalier portrays types of London life with such skill. but that he reveals himself a comedian of rare resource, a student of character and most effective dramatic painter; this is the secret of | HIS SuCCeSS. HIS every SOllS, HIS cHttI acterizations, one and all are little plays of themselves. They give the at mosphere of the London slums as faith fully as Augustus Thomas reproduced southern men and manners in "Alaba- ma.'' Chevalier is not a mere "char- acter change actor" he is. an imper- senator and makes his commercials as | truthful and convincing as does any player of the orthodox. Sale of seats now open.
