Hyperion Theater.

An appreciative and tickled audience
witnessed the performance of the Tar
rytown Widow at the Hyperion, last
evening. There's a snap and dash to
the play which instead of wasting all
is energy in the first part, as in many
farces. carefully reserves it's forces, so
that the finale is the result Of goodly
amount of latent vim, which has been
smoldering and breaking out here and
there during the entire performance.
Joseph Hart, in the leading role, Ben
jamin Bascorn, was all that could be
asked for. He scored a decided hit in
his Songs of Songs in the second act.
The rest of the cast was excellent.
THE PRISONER OF ZENDA."
The brilliant romantic drama, 1.-THE
Prisoner of Zenda," will be presented
at the Hyperion tomorrow (Wednes-
day. evening 1t was the good fortune
of that prince of modern romance writ
ers, Anthony Hope, that his most IA
nous work, the one upon which his
reputation is founded, should fall into
the hands of so ingenious a play-maker
as Edward Rose. The company to pre-
sent THE Prisoner of Zenda," like all
of Daniel Frohman's companies, is
first-class.
AS a story or play "The Prisoner of
Zenda" is alike enjoyable, though it
may be argued that it has gained much
in its dramatic form in the little pro-
logue, so cleverly arranged by Mr..
Rose, and which, from a purely dra-
OF ndnnint c hn ortisti-
cally contrived and hest fashioned por-
ton of the work. The play is exqui-
sitely mounted All the properties,
even to the nails are the same settings
used in the prolonged run of this play

company, headed by Howard Gould, in
cludes many of last seasons cast, and
has received universal commentator
for artistic and clever work Sale of
