 YANKEE DOODLE DANDY"
 The New York Casino extravanganza Yankee Doodle Dandy will be seen in it's entirety at the Hyperion Saturday, ! July 7, for two performances, matinee , and evening. The great vogue this mer- 1 riest of all burlesquers has attained is doubtless due to the efforts of Walter Jones, Gertrude Zella, Louis Wesley Zella Frank and Harold Blake, all of whom contribute greatly to the fun and the music of the performance.
 Bronson Towards admirable war drama shenandoah" was revived at the special New Years performances at the Hyperion yesterday. The produc- tion Is under the management of Joseph Lit, and the long list of players is headed by Maurice Barrymore and Mary Hampton. A numerous host of supernumeraries, both human and equine, elaborate and appropriate scen- cry, and a profusion of warlke access otlIGS, SlNu dS CdUllDn, IlluSkelIy, pIc., contributed to the interest of the pro- duction. Shenandoah is a good play and Joseph Lit saw a fortune in ap- pealing at this moment to the strong in- terest of the public in wars and the ru- mors thereof. There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at it's flood, leads on to fortune Enormous au- diences saw the performances yester- day and there was great display of enthusiasm. It goes without saying that such experienced people as Mau- rice Barrymore and Mary Hampton play the leading roles effectively. There is no one on the American stage bet ter fitted for these old fashioned heroic roles like the one of Colonel Kerchival West in the present instance and the hero of "The Heart of Maryland" in which he was last seen here, than Mau rice Barrymore. The parts are difficult to play in these days of cynicism and realism, but Barrymore keeps the house with him every minute. Mary Hampton always does good work and Is compe tent and reliable actress. The other roles are in good hands and therefore the whole cast is carefully chosen and efficient.
 The stage management is effective. A large number of awkward supes and madly careering steeds arc jugsled on and off the stage in rapid and bewlder- ing succession, and no one is really kill | ed The amount of eunpowder used is truly amazing and the Hyperion is like ly to be redolent for many days. The piece will be repeated this evening.
