ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.
OH! SUSANNAH! AT THE HYPE-
 RION TONIGHT.

RION TONIGHT.
 Charles Frohman's company will be seen in the three-act farce, "Oh! Su- sannah" at the Hyperion this evening and on Friday and Saturday evenings. There will be matinee on Saturday. A great success is expected of the play. Its situations are as comical as those of "Charley's Aunt" Certainly the company which MT. Frohman has se- lected for it's interpretation is as good as could be desired, and it will no doubt not miss a point which the auth ors make. The company includes Maude Harrison, a delightful comedi enne, who has only just returned to the stage after an absence of several years; Josephine Hall, the greatest of all opponents of the lady slavey char acter; Jessie Rusley, who will be re- membered as one of the boy heroes of Two Little Vagrants"; Marion Les ter, May Wood, Blanche Burton, Mag gie Fielding, Fritz Williams, Robert Cotton, Frank Doane and Alfred Hick- man. The story of the play, which was given yesterday, bespeaks a jolly per- formance, especially at the hands of so excellent a company. The play ends most happily with the hero, Jack, fully restored to favor.

 MRS. FISKES PLAY.
 One of the characters in Mrs. Fiske's S play, Tess of the DUrbervilles, 2 which will be seen at the Hyperion on Tuesday, February 8, has been re- marked upon by those who have wis., ited English dairy farms for the fidel- ity with which it is drawn, and the peculiar Wessex atmosphere that is preserved in the portrayal. The Eng fish yokel is an adjunct to the farm. When he is seen elsewhere, as an ad- venturer, sailor, or a soldier serving her majesty, he has lost the claim of simplicity that that envelopes him at his work. It is on this account that Mrs. Fiske spent so much labor in preserving in his true coloring the Eng fish rustic of to-day as found in Wes- sex. He is indigenous to the soil but for once has been successfully trans planted and may be seen iii all his sim plicity-surrounded by the dairy maids lin "Tess of the D'Jvrbervilles" The company includes Forrest Robinson, Fred De Belleville, Mary Shaw, Dor othy Chester and others.
 MADAME MELBA
 Mime. Melba will appear as Rosina in 'The Barber of Seville at the Fly perion on Thursday evening, February 10, under the direction of Walter Dam- rosch and c. A. Ellis. This will be the musical event of the season and is eagerly anticipated here.
 The part of Almaviva is quite as showy a one for the tenor as is that of Rosina for the soprano, and M. Sal ignac. one of the best French lyric tenors of to-day will do full justice to his possibilities. M. Salignac, though he has hitherto sung but one winter in the United States, and then mostly at the Metropolitan Opera house in New York, left an enduring recollec- tion of his merits as singer.
 The part of Figaro which will be taken by that ever popular singer, Sig | nor Campanari, Is quite as exactine dramatically as vocally, and requires an artist as versatile as Signor Cam panari to do it justice. He not only has an admirable baritone voice, but is an actor of exceptional skill and above all, sound and thorough mu- sician. Sale of seats opens Monday Prices, s1.50. S2, sS and s4.
