ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

A very large auQlence was present at the Hyperion last night to witness the performance of "Gayest Manhattan" and that they were highly entertained was in evidence from the constant hearty applause. The piece was pre- scented in this city last season, but by no such company as appeared last night, which is far better than last years Those deserving of special mo- tice are w. H. Lytell, Gertie Reynolds, Miss Helen Dudley and I. Luby.
 Miss Gertie Reynolds is the celebrated New York Journal Poster Girl, and she has won fame in this city and in New York. The entire show is one worthy especial mention and Mr. Bunnell is to be congratulated in securing it for the evening before the football day.
 That it will play return engagement soon is assured by the large audience present last night and the satisfaction shown so unmistakably. The perform ance of the students last night was simply disgraceful and in a great de- gree they marred a most excellent per- formancc.
 JACK AND THE BEANSTALK'' TO-
 NIGHT.
 A sensational electrical effect is intro- duced in the third act of Jack and the Beanstalk," Klaw and Erlangers fla l nous production, which will be seen again at the Hyperion tonight, Yale l football night. This effect is without doubt the most beWidering illusion in that line that has ever been presented on the stage It is called The Birth of 1 the Firefy" and is as beautiful as it is | effective. Fairies appear dancing, and | suddenly the stage is darkened and in another instant they are in a glow of | soft light. From beneath their gauZy | skirts, in their hair, at their finger tips, and about their throats, myriads of tiny l incandescent lamps rise out and disap- pear. Then, as finale, on each fairy l head appears a Kaleidoscope electrical | device revolving with great rapidity, | and at the same moment electrical shields flash and fade in many colors | on each bodice as the dancers move about in unison with the wierd music. | Again the stage becomes light, the fair ies have disappeared and their places have been taken by a vast array of pretty girls in q wedding procession. ] The effect is as delightful as it is re- markable, and is pronounced the very best contribution that electricity has 1 ever given to the stage. The company presenting Jack" this season is said ! to be the best it has ever had, and big 1 house is looked for tonight judging 1 from the large advance sale. A few ! good seats are still for sale. Prices g cents, 30 cents, 75 cents and $1.
