ENTERTAINM ENTS.

1.-The Burgomaster" will be presented
at the Hyperion tonight. This pro-
| duction and organization vastly differs
| from 1.-THE Burgomaster" presentation
we had the past season. The company
| Is much larger and more eminent. the
| score contains many new musical num-
bers, the book has new bright features
| and vaudeville specialties. AS whole
THE Burgomaster'' is blending of
bright music, comedy, that Is true
comedy, clever entertainers, pretty
faces and shapely forms, and costumes
that are novel, unique and rich, and
shapely forms, and costumes that are
novel, unique and rich, and scenic and
electric effects that rival Aladdin and
his splendor
The story Is told in a prologue and
two acts. The first scene is laid in
New Amst erdam two hundred and fif-
ty years ago, where, Peter Stuyvesant,
the burgomaster, and Doodle Won kull,
his secretary, fearing that the settlers
are to be attacked by the British and
Swedish forces and by the Tammany
tribe of Indians, decide to avoid the
duties which such an attack would
force upon them, and as consequence
drink some drugged liquor in order to
participate in a Rip Van Wrinkle sleep,
until their troubles blew over, and
they don't awaken until the year 1900,
when a gang Of laborers digging
trench in New York city unearth the
poor unsophisti cated Dutchmen, who
forthwith set out to see the town I'M
der the guidance Of Willie Won Astor-
bilt, a gilded youth, and the Harlem
Spider, typical pugilist of the day,
who believes in words, not blows. The
ancient Manufacturers see life in New
York, at the seashore, in Wall street,
and incidentally take in the French
Ball at the Madison Square Garden,
from whence journey to Chicago and
later to Buffalo to visit the late Pan
American exposition Is made The
grille chorus is one of the main fea-
lures of this jolly Jingle, as they are
very much in evidence throughout the
performance; they are all young, pretty
and graceful and can sing and dance
as well as they look, and their efforts
constitute many of the brightest bits of
the piece, foremost of which THE
Tough Girl Parade" is possibly the
most humorous; 1.-THE Dutch Cadet
Drill" the most fascinating; "The
Rainy Daisy Dance" the most arts
tic; 1.-The Bathing Girl Novelty the
most pleasing; THE Broadway Sou
brette Serenade," the most dashing;
the cake walk speciality the most
unique, the effect of which, wrought by
the pretty dancers in their gorgeous
costumes, being heightened by colored |
elect rical effects thrown on the scene, is |
original and dazzling to a degree. and |
Is only equaled by "The Tale of the |
trio.
