THE Royal Box" at the Hyperion last
night was one of the most interesting
occurrences that the dramatic season
has furnished. The audience was nu-
merous and yet not as large as the oc-
casion deserved. Mr.. Coghlan's reputa-
ton and the success which the play en-
joyed in New York should have attract
ed larger assemblase. With all the
trash and vulgarity of the stage at the
present day, the opportunity to witness
a really serious performance is not to
be neglected. The audience last night
made up in enthusiasm what it lacked
in numbers and Mr.. Coghlan was loud
~ applauded and frequently recalled.
He undoubtedly made a great personal
success and his skill met with warm ap-
probation.
The play has been adapted by Mr.
Coghlan from play called "Kean' by
the elder Dumas. The plot is strong
and the situations are quite original and
very effective theatrically. Mr. Coghlan
plays the role consistently and with a
high order of intelligence throughout
ana IN the great scene he rises to I'M
usual heights of eloquence. 1t is a per-
formance that is wholly out of the usual
order OF things and the public is much
indebted to the actor and author for a
serious and well-considered effort. The
support was especially good in the cases
OF Charles Stanley as "Tipps," r. c.
Chamberlain as Davis" Miss Lotto
Pinthicurn as the Countess Helen"
and Mr.. Coghlan's daughter, Miss Ger
trude Coghlan, as Celia" The piece
vas appropriately mounted with cos
TUNES and scenery of the period.
ION AND OFF"
'On and Off" the great New York
laughing success, will be presented at
the Hyperion tonight to an overlooking
house by Charles Frohman's company
OF comedians. The company comprises
E. M. Holland, Fritz Williams, Samuel
Reed, Ralph Delmore and many lesser
lights. M. Bison has made his heros
conduct comparatively pardonable.
George Godfray is, it is true, indiffer-
ent to the attractions Of his wife Mad
and then wed an innocent damsel nam
ed Rosa Martel. who lives at Nangis-
the Godfrays reside at Auteuil. George
coolness toward Madelaine is the result
of his WEAKNESS of constantly hearing
her former husband quoted to him as
an example. His father-in-l law bores
him and he detests his mother-in-Iaw,
whom he endeavors to trick into assist
ing him In his divorce projects. Madame
Brumaire is a believer in the supernat-
ural and George purchases a photo
praph which he hides in the chandelier,
whence it delivers angelic message or
derirg that Georges marriage with
Madelaine shall be annulled. There has
been a large advance sale of seats. but
good seats are still to be had. Prices
75c, 81 and S1.50.

THE Girl I Left Behind Me- with 100

trations employed in the extensive pro-
duction comes to the Hyperion next

gng love story. In the Post Kenyon
incident where the Indians are about
to overpower and massacre the soldiers
and their sweethearts, the fate Of Kate
Kenyon and her lover, who it is feared

certainty. The denouement is thrilling
