ENTERTAINED NTS.


Instead of a public performance at
the Hyperion last night of Joseph Ar
thurs new play, the Lost River,
there was a dress rehearsal. This was
brought about by mishap at the re-
hearsal yesterday afternoon which pre-
vented a presentation of the play, as is
told in another column. The opening,
therefore, will take place tonight and
| will be the more smooth from the ex-
ira time of preparation that has been
| allowed to the members of the COM
pany. This caste, which will appear in
what Mr.. Arthur believes will be one of
his greatest successes, is equal to the
best that Messrs. Liebler & Co. have
allotted to any of their many dramatic
companies. Miss Mary Sanders, Will
liam Courtleigh, Miss Ada Dryer, p.
Aug. Anderson and Charles Able all
have roles that will enable them to do
their most artistic work. The comedy
in this play is especially strong. Mr..
Arthur knows the Lost River region in
Indiana from having spent a portion Of
! his boyhood there when his father was
a minister in that locality. Many Of
the striking characters are studies from
real life. Messrs. Liebler & Co., noted
for the elaborate way in which they
stage plays, have upheld their reputa-
ton in the Lost River" and the most
famous csenic artists in the country
produced the scenes. 1t is one of the
most extensive productions undertaken
! this season.
The cast selected by Edward II. Rice
to present Fl. V. Esmonds charming
comedy romance, when We Were
Twenty-one," at the Hyperion to-mor-
row evening, is one of extraordinary
merit, and each one exactly fitted to his
or her part. William Morris, the noted
young actor, for several years an i'm
portant member of Charles F'rohman's
companies, and with whom MI Rice
has just made a three years contract,
will be seen as Richard Carewe: the
beautiful Corona Ricardo as Phyllis
Ericsson, Herbert Wilke as the soldier
man, Nestor Lennon as the doctor, W.
j. Butler as Waddles, Albert Brown as
the Imp, Ethel Brandon as Kara
Glyesk and Florence Wickliffe and III
leen O'Brian. This guarantees the ex-
cellence of the performance, but besides
these twenty other artists appear Seats
