 CUMBERLAND '61."
 In the production of Cumberland '61," Mr. Pitou, has kept up the high standard set by him In all his suc- cesses. Cumberland '61" is by Frank lin Fyles, and is the best of the many plays he has written. The pretty love story running through the piece is clear cut and of intense interest. The melo- dramatic features are of high order, never sinking to the level of mere ef- feet, but are reasonable, and help to frame a very pretty and finished pie ture. The cast has been carefully se- lected by MT. Pitou. Each character is in the hands of actors of well known ability.
 In the formation of the cast for this | work John F. Kellerd plays a half breed Indian cadet at West Point; Charles Craig is Kentucky mountain ger, who is fanatical to his adhesion to a vendetta feud: Miss Amelia Sum merville is a Missouri widow; Miss An | gela McCaull is a Vassar student, and Miss Millie Sackett is @ negro mammy. The lovers in the romance are Edgar L. Davenport and Miss Marie Shot, well, and there is a light comedy part for Lionel Barrymore. W. J. Ferguson | is an idle New York club man of the period.
 The time of the action of the play is the first year of the rebellion, but the war Is only a romantic background | based on fact. The sentimental story is one of love between the son and | daughter of families separated by a | family feud, which has in the past broken out frequently with great loss of life, and which now reappears in the episodes that constitute the movements of the piece.
 ! Cumberland '61'' will be presented at the Hyperion on Friday and Satur- | day evenings. There will be bargain matinee Saturday for ladies and chill dren at which prices will be 25c and | soc. Sale of seats now open. Prices. regular dollar scale.
 JOSEF HOFMANN. | Josef Hofmann, the brilliant young | pianist, will be heard at the Hyperion on Monday afternoon, April 25, when he will give a matinee recital which will be his only appearance in Connec- | ticut. The New York Herald says: A beautiful touch-sure1y, the variest | layman in the house could recognize that. As the young artist progressed, the audience was gradually hushed in- to silence-a splendid test always of an artists ability. Then the cadenza to- ward the end ofthe first movement came, and the house burst into the most spontaneous and vocferous ap- plause that has been heard at the l opera house Tn some years. The music he produced caressed, soothed and ex- cited you. It was a true voice that was heard through the keyboard, not an echo.
 | Sale of seats opens Thursday. Prices $2, $1.50 and $1.
