Hyperion Thenter. ANDREW MACK AT THE HYPERI- ON TONIGHT

ON TONIGHT.
 A dashing, sentimental fun-loving
 chap with an occasional weakness for
 prevarication, when it happens to help
 his love-making, and with very deci-
 ded way of dealing with his enemies, is
 the kind of young Irishman that An
 drew Mack will present in "The Last of
 the Rohans," his enormously successful new play, which will be given at the Hyperion tonight. MT. Mack has plen- ty of comedy, much of it ripping through his love scenes in way to keep his audience between a constant laugh and roar, and he has several scenes of sensat tional nature, in which very intelligent Kentucky horse figures prominently, which are bound to thrill the house from orchestra to gallery. As the period of "The Last of the Ro- hans" is 1872, there is every chance for picturesque costuming. The advance sale indicates a crowded house tonight. Seats now for sale. Prices $1.00 75 and 50 cents.

Too fond of the boy to kick him out of doors to earn his own living, he decides to teach him lesson, to give him @ taste of hardship and knock into the head so full of strange theories the old lesson that there is no romance in poverty. The story is told directly and pointedly and is handled in so merry and light a manner that work that sticks pins in socialism and it's preachers is one of the most amusing the stage has had in many years. The play made most substantial hit in New York and comes from the pen of Michael Morton. In 1t MT Crane has one of the most amusing and diverting characters that has fall en to his lot in years.
