Grand Opera House.

The Royal Lifliputians, the latest will be seen at the Grand opera house tonight and Friday and Saturday nights and at the Saturday matinee, presenting John Fowler's spectacular farce comedy "The Merry Tramps" It is without doubt the most novel offering of the present theatrical season, and the Royal Lilliputians, a company of midgets. with a giant or two thrown
 ill to show just how small the little people are. These mites of hiimanity
 come from all parts of the world, and
 some Of them are already known to
 the American public. Most of them,
 however, were engaged in Europe,
 and are this season visiting the United
 States for the first time. These little
 comedians are supported by a chorus
 of thirty voices. The scenic investiture
 is gorgeous and the costumes rich and
 showy. Tn their own fancy dresses the
 n1idgets look as ie they might have
 just dropped down from Fairyland
 They must not be confounded with the
 old German Lilliputians so popular a
 few seasons ago, being an entirely
 different organization and giving in
 English one Of if-e funniest and most
 uproarious of musical comedies ever put on the stage. "The Merry
 Thamps' is pronounced one yell of
 laughter from start to finish and a source of constant astonishment to those who have never seen little people in hilarious knockab bou. comedy. Ev- cry member of the company is a we'll known speciality artist Of New York and London fame. Thus when in com binatfon with others of equal calibre the fun may easily be imagined In addition to the LilliDutians there is a large company of funmakers, including giants, chorus girls, dancers and oth- CTS in up-to-date songs and dances, negro melodies and funny cake walks. The scenery is gorgeous. The mechan- ical effects are wonderful, with grand transformation that has been pro- nounced the most beautiful series of scenic pictures on the boards and a marvel of stage mechanism. In the cast is such well known characters as Franz Ebert and wife, Major Doyle, Will Archie, Joseph Little finger, George Liable, James E. Rosen, Joseph Algere John Church. Charles Busby, the cele- brated Cautna sisters, and score of others. Seats now on sale. Regular prices.

Hyperion Theater.

Mildred Hollands beautiful inner | sohation Of Aria In "The Power Behind the Throne will be the attraction at the Hyperion tonight. The Gloverville | (N. Y) Herald of December 26th last says of Mildred Holland in this play: Seldom has star won such a triumph In this city as did Mildred Holland and her superb supporters last night. It was perhaps in the third act that Miss Holland displayed her emotional powers to the greatest advantage From the beginning of the act the in- tensity of the acting gradually increas- ca Stlll just as the curtain dropped 1t reached climax that carried the house by storm. and it was here that Miss Holland received a reception seldom accorded by the cold, critical audiences that GloVersvne is noted for. She was compelled to answer seven curtain calls. Leonard Walker as Ronald von Hohenlohe, was superb, possessing a magnificent physique, handsome head and face, and sweet powerful voice he was close second to Miss Holland for honors. Miss Holland was wise in
 
 being an individual success. When Miss Holland again visits this city she will receive a hearty welcome.
 The principal members of the cast are Lillian Norris, Francis Brooke, Ri- ta O'Neal, Frederic Ormonde, Victor de Silke, Frank Drew, w. A. Whitecar, Dwight Allen, s. W. Walker, Florence Renner, and many others. Seats now on sale. Prices $1, 75c, soc; S5c, 25c.
 Charles Frohman's production of Richard Carvel,' with John Drew as its star, which is announced for the Hyperion next Saturday evening, is the identical production that ran for over 100 nights at the Empire theater in New York. The entire company, with the scenic accessories intact, will be seen here. There are thirty speak ing parts in the play, showing that the dramatization must have followed the novel of Winston Churchill pretty closely The scenes are strong and picturesque, and the play is regarded one of absorbing interest. Seats now on sale. Prices s2, $1.50. $1, 75c, 5Oc.
 Tom Moore's love for Bessie Dyke, the famous Irish beauty, was the

The poet died in his seventy-ninth year, and Bessies were the hands that closed his eyes on the worlds scenes, faithful and loving to the end. Theodore Burt Sayre has formed, this love as the main spring of his new play entitled Tom Moore" which he has written for the talented young Irish ctor-singer, Andrew Mack Its advent is awaited with in- terest, and there will doubtless be many lovers of the poet, as well as the actor to greet the play at the Hyperion theater,. next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
