EMBELLISHMENTS.



The enormous success which greeted
the presentation of Hoyt's farcical
comedy, "A Black Sheep" at the Hy-
perion last season was duplicated last
evening when what is considered as the
greatest achievement of this play
wright's works was presented, with Otis
Harlan in the leading role. This ver-
satile comedian was at his best last
evening and introduced many original
tiles that were captivating and anus
ing to say the least.
William De We're as editor of the
Tombstone inscription portrayed a
character that is original with Hoyt
and one which illustrates the labors of
weekly newspaper man in the Wilds
of the west. While the leading people
were the same as were here last season,
the minor parts were not as strong, ex-
cepting Miss Jeanette st. Henry, whose
character was that of Ida Skiddons,
the Queen of Burlesque," and her
songs were very good and catchy.

tionally clever. 1t deals with troupe
of strolling Mountebanks in Paris in
