rang out on all sides almost incessant- ly. Nearly all the acts are devoted tc comedy, and all are excellent.
 The Suglmato Royal Japanese Troupe proved to be wonderful novelty. The act was opened by two bright little bronzed athletes, who did a lot of aston ishing things, and then the whole troupe of eight followed in feats, one surpass- ing the other, to cyclonic ending with the swinging beam.
 Nellie Waters, big and jolly, singing Irish songs, carried the house by storm. Matthews and Harris in Adam the Second" and Fake and Semon in a comedy musical act were big hits.
 The Lyric Sextette sing very well, es- pecially the better class of music in their selections. The Sextette from Lu- cia was admirably done.
 Dudley and Ormes, Eddie and Josie Evans and Cotton's donkeys are also on the bill. The donkeys caused roars of laughter when the small boys tried to ride them. The vitagraph closes the show

"FAUsT" NEW YEARS DAY.

nypeEhOAA Ahohhor.
 FAUST" NEW YEARS DAY. The elaborate scenery and gorgeous dresses. added to newly invented sys- tenn of electrical effects, novel and startling in their operation, would make Lewis Morrison's Faust :" which comes to the Hyperion New Years day, matinee and night, remark able anywhere. This season, however, all former productions have been sur- passed in point of scenery, costumes, electrical mechanical and vocal effects, and the strength of the company. Lew is Morrison himself will positively ap- pear as Mephisto, It is in honor of his appearance that the most costly and elaborate production of Faust" ever staged has been got up. A new pro- logue has been written by a well known author. The choral and vocal work by an invisible choir and soloists is one of the most impressive features of this new scene. As the seventeen scenes of thi prologue disappear one by one and reveal a picture of the gates of Para disc, with Mephisto appealing to the archangel surrounded by his host, a pcture of rare beauty is revealed, which receives added dignity from the sonor ous appeal of Satan and the exquisite music which was especially composed for the duration of this scene. The choral and vocal work is admirable to a high degree. Seats are selling rapid ly. Prices $1, 75 cents, 50 cents, 35 cents and 25 cents.
 The big scenic production of Quincy Adams Sawyer" in play form will be seen here at the Hyperion next Thurs day night This engagement will at- tract more than ordinary interest be- cause of the famous novel of the same name from which the play is taken Critics are now saying of Quincy Ad- ans Sawyer in play form that it is "the best New England play ever writ ten." Seats now on sale. Prices s1, 75 cents, 50 cents and 35 cents.
 Act first in "The Way of the World" which comes to the Hyperion for one night, January 3, shows an automobile in Central park, with panorama in the background. Two of the leading characters, Mrs. Croyden and her hus- band (Miss de Wolfe and MT. Mason) are discovered taking their morning spin. They are joined later by Mrs. Lake (Mrs. Clara Bloodgood), whose b- cycle has broken dowr. A comedy scene ensues and the plot develops in natural fashion up to a sensat tional cli- max in the third act. The gowns worn by Miss de Wolfe and the members of her company are importations from La ferriere, Paquin and Collet Soeurs, and were designed especially to be worn in "The Way of the World Seats on sale to- morrow. Prices s1.50 $1, and 75 cents.

Grand opera House.

Uncle Josh Spruceby," very funny
 New England comedy which is in its eleventh season, was presented last night and repeated its former success. This Is the play that met with success at the Grand last season and gives promise of repeating the former suc- cess this season. The piece is staged with every attention to realism and all the scenes are well mounted. The startling sawmill scene Is one of the principal scenes and 1t is a very inter- esting piece of stage mechanism. This act shows machine room with e man. moth stationary sawmill in full opera tion. Other scenes are Josh Spruceby' & farm, and the old fashioned Husking Bee. Incidental to the play specalties were introduced by Major O'Laughlin, the worlds greatest gun spinner and musket manipulator, introducing the sensational fire finish. Miss Jeannette Carew, coon shouter. Claud Radcliff, in his amusing songs and dances, Ter Till and Simon, the acme of all comedy musical acts. The celebrated Uncle Josh Spruceby orchestra, under direc- ton of Charles F. Worrill, rendered q special programme selected from the worlds most popular songs.
 The piece Is an excellent comedy drama with strong double plot and the characters carefully drawn. The situa- tions are realistic and the comedy in the play is abundant Among those in the cast worthy of notice are Hite C.. Taylor, Lawrence V. Gilard, Claud Radcliff, James Bowen, s. E. Miller, Frank Terrill, Miss May Roberts, Jean- ette Carew and Lizzie N. Taylor. The piece will be repeated this and to-mor- TOW evenings with special matinee tomorrow.
 Sensa tional melodrama will be shown in all it's glory commencing next Thurs day night and continuing throughout the week, when "The Fatal Wedding" will commence its engagement at the Grand Opera House. The play has just finished a successful run in New York city, where the press was unanimous in its praise. It is a great home play and contains strong lesson. The scenic effects are positively elaborate, nothing like it having ever been surpassed in a production of this kind. The scene showing the great palisades of the Hud- son at night. exposing counterfeiters den, is one of the most realistic scenes ever presented. The cast contains a number of popular favorites and 1t is headed by Edward Mordant. One of the most important characters in the play is an eight -year-old child actress, Jessie, who is truly a marvel. "The Fatal Wedding" is play that should be witnessed by every lover of moral lesson, as it is far above anything ever shown heretofore. There will be mat inee Saturday.
 All the types of humanity found in western mining camp are presented In "Roxana's Claim" which will be seen at the Grand Opera House on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, January 6, 2 and 8. Cowboys, desperadoes miners, a drunken politician. a ubiquitous coon and the never failing tramp are all there. Startling and sensational scenes are frequent and the rernerhahle shoot ing of MT. Bowling is one of the sur- prising feats of the play. There will be a matinee Wednesday.
