| The new play, 1.-THE Night of the
Fourth" that Messrs. Dunno and Ryley
have secured for their. stars, Mathews
and Bulger, to be seen at the Hyperion
tomorrow evening, is from the pen OF
George AIDE, so well known as humor-
Gus writer in the Chicago Record, and
the author of Fables in Slang" 1t is
said to be the best piece that Mathews
and Bulger have yet been seen in, and
will be the feature of their starring tour
this coming season 1t is described as
an absolutely unique and original idea
in farce construction, and promise is
made of a highly diverting entertain
ment The idea of nervous iceman
requiring absolute repose, buying up sll
the fireworks in the town and retiring
with them to a cellar in order 10 escape
noise and confusion, is amusing enough
but when a stray flrecracker drops in
on the gentleman, incidentally on the
fireworks, the resulting sensation is one
(which may be easily imagined. Dunno
and Ryley have surrounded Mathews
and Bulger with company of undoubt-
ed strength and excellence. The well
known comedian Walter Jones has been
especially engaged and the cast among
others, includes Josie De Witt, Philip
H. Ryley, Norma Whalley, Tony Hart
and Adlyn Estee. j. Sherrie Mathews,
as young lawyer with lots Of business,
is one of the chief fun makers. When
there is a joke to be "slung' he is there
to sling it; when there is any kissing to
be doneshe is there to attend to that,
too, and his role is said to give him an
unusual opportunity for effective work.
Bulger is the retired iceman, who loves
quiet. and he manages to stir up about
all the noise and trouble in the play.
The last act is described as one of che
chief laughing hits in the piece, Bulger
being a supposed patient in an insane
asylum, who usurps the place of the |
u 1t
Jones, who acts as chief "bouncer,"
speedily fills the institution with his en-
emies. Seats now on sale. Prices 81, rs |
cents, so cents and rs cents.
