Hyperion i'heatcr.

Lovers Lane" one of Clyde Fitch's
very successful plays, was presented t.
a large audience at the Hyperion last
night. Attention Is called to the bar.
gain matinee to-day specially for wo-
men and children to see this pretty
play, at which the prices will be 25 and
| so cents. Lovers Lane" is clean
wholesome and very entertaining. 1t
tells sweet love story, and depicts
| contemporaneous village life. 1t is
wholesome. for it shows in a proniscu-
Gus way the prejudices of the average
| Yankee village; the narrowness of
their church life, which a conscien-
! tious clergyman tries to break down,
and Is broken himself for time by his
congregation. The morale of the play
and it's denoument are the triumph of
love on one side, and the breaking
down of the barriers of prejudice on the
other. Lovers Lane" is presented by
a well balanced company. Earle Brown
as the easily imposed upon minister,
who has his doubts as to an actual
hell, takes his part we'll and Is the cen
trail figure. James Horne is rather
good looking villain and Jennie Lee,
as Matty, the housekeeper, divided
honors with Miss Blanche Hall, as
Mary LarSin. The coterie of children
in the second act are deserving of
great praise for the excellent way in
which they play their parts The play
deserves warm support. Seats now on

"Madge Smith, Attorney" a comedy
new to this city in which May Irwin
will be seen at the Hyperion on Thurs
day night, October II, assures a most
enjoyable evening. Miss TWINS plays
are always successful, but this one in
particular is credited with being her
best effort. 1t presents the coincidence
in an atmosphere which Is rather diff
ferent from any she has yet attempted
and affords her a scope for the mani
festation of her many admirable and
versatile qualities as an meter of
mirth, which is greater than she had
in some of her previous plays. Those
who have seen her as "Courted Into
Court" Kate Kip 1.-The Swell Miss
Fitswell' or the widow Jones'" will
charm Of this original woman.
If "Madge Smith, Attorney" can show
her to any better advantage, or even
as good as did the plays of her pre-
vious visits to this city, the local the
atergoers will have one of the finest
treats of the season. Seats now on SALE
