The famous pianist, Josef Hofmann.
 will give a recital at the Hyperion to-
 night He is a pupil of Rubenstein,
 but even Rubenstein did not attempt to
 curb the strong individual readings of
 his precocious pupil. Hofmann is a
 virile, sane pianist Without a parti- Gle of prudence that goes with lack of imagination and temperament, he has such repose, such reserve power and
 breadth of vision that we at once see
 that he derives from the Clement,
 Beethoven, Liszt, Rubenstein, q Albert
 side of the pianistic house. He has the
 big Rubinsteln tone and the incompar-
 able analysis of d'Alhart. This latter
 quality is noticeable in his Bach and
 Beethoven playing. One is fearful at
 such exhibition of controlled power
 such playing of intellect in mere led
 New York has not heard such piano 1 playing since Rubinstein, for Hof-
 manns personality is more mellow, more poetic than d'Albert's, more tligni-
 lied and more musical than Paderew- skis. Hofmann brings to this music brain sound to the core, a sweet youth ful fantasy and freshness and, above all, an intense sincerity. As it is, he is q phenomenon without equal Seats now on sale Prices $1.50. $1. 75c. Mary Mannering as a star in Janice Meredith is one of the biggest attrac- tions to be seen here this season. She is announced for appearance next Fri day night at the Hyperion. Her com ing will no doubt be a huge success in every respect. Surely there is no act ress more fitted for the character of Janice than this wonderfully beautiful young English woman with her grace. youth and talent. Nearly every one re- members her as the leading lady of Daniel Frohmans Lyceum Theater Stock Co in New York, which position she occupied for five years. Her stellar career began last season and she has been phenomenal success. The re- ceipts of Janice Meredith" have equal led comparatively the enormous ale of the book. Seats now on sale.

 Rice's Evangeline" comes Saturday night to the Hyperion. Twenty five hundred performances have been rolled off the reel and this statement is sufIi- cient in proving the greatness of the attraction. The title role will be en- acted by Miss Lila Blow, while Miss Isabelle Underwood plays the part of Gabriel, which is most difficult part to play vivaciously and modestly at the same time, but which this charming little woman does with the chic and nicety of a thoroughly accomplished operatic star. Clever comedians, mag nificent scenic effect and a superb chorus of sixty selected voices add to the attraction. The facial work of Charles Guyer, late of Hanlon's "Su- perba," in which he was the clown, is wonderful, and nightly brings rounds of applause. The extravaganza is un- der the personal direction of Edward F. Rice, Seat sale opens this morning. Prices $1,5O, s1, 75c.
