man, beseeching with smile on his
 lips and tears in his eyes. Finally he | is the triumphant man. There is a great deal of human nature in this pretty little play-the best side of hu- | man nature. There is no villain, no plotter, no tool. Instead circumstances | make the characters, whom, after all are all pure minded and act accord | ingly. It is an American play in plot, | theme and treatment, and appeals to , any man who understands the English l language The humor is refreshingly | new. The wit Is brilliant and the sen- | timent of that peculiar kind which reaches the heart and leaves no shadow there. The cast is uniformly excellent and each character in the play has a ! distinct Individuality. "The Parish Priest has enjoyed a long run in both New York and Boston, and will be seen at the Hyperion Friday and Saturday | nights, September and :. Seats now

 David Belasco's productions are to be
 counted among the more important ones for this season. Whatever he
 may offer the public will be entirely in
 the line of novelty, and, relying on his reputation as both author and man. ager, should be not only of public inter- est, but of importance in artistic bear ing as well. Belasco will first claim
 attention through placing David War
 field on the stage as star. His play
 will be "The Auctioneer," work joint
 ly written by Lee Arthur and Charles
 Klein and referred to as character I,,t ,ntb i,rr
 Harriganesque And indeed it is like
 ly that "The Austioneer' will prove to
 have been written and produced some-
 what on the old Harrigan and Hart
 model. That is to say, it's people will
 be quaint characters to be found in the poorer districts of New York-this time the locality is Hester street-and it's scenes will be representative of fla
 miliar corners of this cosmopolitan town David Warf1eld will of course ! be the center of interest. The charac- ter of Simon Levi, which he will DOT tray will give him the fullest scope to be seen in the line of comedy which has made him so successful in recent years Belasco is lending his best en-
 deavors to this production, supplying 1t with new scenery, some catchy songs,
 and a score of pretty girls. Among
 these the most important are Marie
 Bates, Maude Winter, Nellie Lynch, Odell Williams, Eugene Canfield. Will liam Boag, Maria Davis. Helena Phil lips, Brandon Tynan, Harry Rogers and
 Herbert Millward Others in the com-
 pany will be Nina Lynn, Cora Adams,
 Nettie Dyer, Elizabeth Berkeley, Dor othy West, Ruth Dennis. Rachel Me Causland, Clare Fremont May Grant, Cyril Vezina. Harry Rawlins, Harry Leff1er, Joseph Dinehart, Edward
 Racey, Herman Lechner, William T. Sleek, Fred M Conkln, Thomas J. Lil- ley. "The Auctioneer" will be seen in this city at the Hyperion theater on
