 That the popularity of Monte Cris.
 to-" with James O'Neill as Edmund
 Dantes, nota bene, will never wear out,
 if placed in the proper surroundings is the first belief of Iiebler & Co They therefore set about to demonstrate their faith by their actions, and have given Mr. O'Neill a production of Monte Cr!s- to this season, the like of which the play could never boast before. In gaz- ing on James O'Neilrs Monte Cristo" the actor imparts to us the confidence IU biph i'm i'm, nd xUb 10 he had friends to revenge and enemies to punish we feel that he Is tho one of all others to keep his word.

 The attraction for the last three days of the present week at the Hyperion theater will be William A. Brady's eel ebrated realistic production of rural life Way Down East This play has been one of the greatest dramatic suc- cesses of the decade, and to judge by its ever growing popularity it promises to become one of those evergreen plays which grandfathers see ip their youth and take their grandchildren to see in iph5 uitCl yCdis. " dy lJOWti Ilubt, I although comparatively young play, having only been before the public for three years, has already broken all records for long runs in various cities. It was forced to leave New York by made contracts after 427 | and in the height of its | success. It ran 200 performances in | Boston, 15O in Philadelphia, and goes back to Chicago for eight weeks addi- l ton contract after running there for | I50 nights.
 Way Down East" tells a simple and | -ouching story of New England coun- ny life. It is full of real heart interest md the dramatic action Is strong and | thrilling. Never once does the interest ail. Then, too, it is rich in humor of | he homely, honest sort which is conta- seous and enjoyable. The company is he best obtainahle, and the scenic ef- ects are the most effective in many ways yet seen upon the stage, and it's ealism is of the strongest. Nothing las yet been devised to equal the great l effect in the third act, the | cene in the maple grove In the last nd that on Squire Bartlett's farm in he first. There is a village choir of licked voices who sing the good old ime songs, and the country dance and on "All Bound Round With Woollen tring." led by the voltage constable is never to be forgotten. Dur ng this engagement the prices will be 5c, 50c, 75c and $1 A matinee will e given on Saturday, and the sale of eats begins tomorrow morning.
