Hyperion Fheater. THE CHAPERONS" AT THE HY- PERION TONIGHT.

THE CHAPERONS" AT THE HY-
 PERION NIGHT.
 "The Chaperons," presented by Frank L. Perley's comedians, will be seen at the Hyperion tonight and tomorrow night. The Springfield Republican says: "A most important feature of The Chaperons' is the music by Isa- dore Witmark This gentleman has written good deal of music i'll an ann ateur way, but this is his first venture on so large a scale. He has managed to put into the piece surprising amount of good music. markedly origi- nal in composition and of wide variety, from resounding choruses to dainty set tings for lyrics. It was uniformly well rendered by the chorus and soloists and many numbers were encored again and again
 "The first act opens with fine cho- rus, "Vive La Bohemia" Joseph c. Miran has an effective bass solo. When I Sang My Low C. and Disby Bell a humorous song, In My Official Capac- ity' Of the other musical numbers in this act the best was the chorus We're All Good Fellows, with a solo by Don- aid Brine, a young singer with capi- tai tenor voice.
 ''The second act opens with a mando- lin chorus, which, taken with the at tractive white bloomers, was fetching. A charming ballad Tt Seems Like Yes terday' artistically sung by Louise Cunning, was one of the best musical compositions in the piece and was very well received Walter Jones was sup piled with a comical ditty, Somehow it Made Me Think of Home,' which was quits as notable for it's airy orchestral accompaniment as for MT. Jones Irish humor. Of the other numbers in this act My Sambo' by Miss Tanguay, de- serves particular mention. for it was the occasion of an unusual demonstra- tion of favor. She was called back again and again. being greeted with applause each time she came on or went off the stage. One of the most ingen- ous bits of the piece was the song The Man Behind the Scenes,' with bur lesoue by Digby Bell of the man who handles the bass drum, cymbals and traps of the orchestra. The opening chorus of the third act, Egypt Land,' is of fine quality, with an effectively quaint oriental movement.
 Pretty much all of The Chaperons' that is not music is comedy Digby Bell had the role of pork-packer hay ing a good time abroad. Walter Jones, Edward Redway and Sol Solomon were a comic trio, who clung together in true comic opera styles, and J. c. Miran was the manager of a stranded opera com- pany."
