A rollicking, racy, piquant farce
from the French of Pierre Decourceile,
entitled, self and Lady" it's numerous
troubles involved characters to be in
terpreted by Charles Frohman's come
| dams, will be presented at the Hyperion
tonight. 1t would be within the limits
of reasonable and sane statement to de-
clare this latter organization the repre-
sentative comedy company of America.
| 1t is certainly Manager Frohman's es-
pecial pride, and he is known to have
built 1t up year after year by adding to
it the most suitable talent he could find
in his forces. The moment an actor or
an actress makes a hit in comedy or
does work that indicates talent in the
line of polite farce, he or she Is slated
for the Comedians" whenever the OPP
portunity shall occur. For instance, 1t
has been Charles Frohman's intention
for some years to have Miss Isabel lrv-
ing head the feminine contingent OF
this organization; but the opportunity
only came this year, when a leading
lady of sufficient talent was found to
take her place with John Drew. 1t is,
therefore, but natural to find in the
same company this season such splen-
did eomedienne as Miss May Robson,
who needs no Introduction here. These
two ladies, with Messrs. T.. M, Holland
and Fritz Williams, are the featured"
ones of the company; but this list will
show that there are other excellent
farceurs in association with them: AR
mold DAILY, Maggie Holloway Fisher,
James Kearney, Nellie Butler, Jay
Wilson, Marie Derickson, May Lambert,
r. r. Eddinger and May Galyer. The
company comes from the Madison
Square theater, New York, it's perma-
nent thespian home, where 1t has pro-
duced SELF and Lady" and its other
notable successes. The cast and scenic
environment will be the Same as during
the New York run, and Furst's Incl
dental music win be d feature.
Christmas matinee and night at the
Hyperion theater, Charles Frohman's
Empire Theater company will appear
prior to their return to the Empire
theater, New York, for their regular
winter season. This visit the company
will present Brother officers" the play
which ran all last season at the EN-
pire theater New York. 1t is fine
play of romantic interest. The COM

The prologue Of 1.-THE Burgomaster,"
which is at the Hyperion on Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, December q, 2S, 30,
has had minute attention from the
scenic artists. The scene shows New
Amsterdam in the days of the Dutch
when Peter Stuyvesant was governor. |
Dutch architecture has been copied
and the old "stadt house" or official
residence, is reproduced. This was
made of white bricks imported from
Holland. When the English came into
possession, the building was styled |
white Hail." and the Whitehall street, |
of modern New York, starts from |
where it stood. A glimpse of the har-
Dor is had in the rear. Matinee on
