ENTERTAINAfENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

l A large audience greeted Denman Thompson last night In his most suc- l cessful play, "The Old Homestead, ,' which has been seen here annually for
 the past sixteen years. AS usual he attends to all the details of the pro- duction. It seemed last night that the public are still anxious to see this old play because nothing so delights in af- | ter years as the reawakening of the l memories of our early years, especially of life on the farm. AS usual the dou-
 ble quartette is heard to the delight of all, and last night they were compelled to respond to repeated encores. The
 scenery as usual was the old original, the principal scenes being the "Old
 Homestead' in the first act, Grace church at night, and the kitchen of the old homestead. During act third the double quartette, assisted by the cele-
 brated organ which MT. Thompson had
 built especially for this act, was heard to the delight of all. The cast is one Of the best that has been seen with the
 piece in many years and especially
 good was the singing Of the quartette.
 Denman Thompson Is in his original
 part of Joshua Whitcomb" and he is
 the sturdy New England Yankee as he
 has been in former years. His entrance
 was the signal for loud applause. He will personally appear at all the per
 formances this season. Others deserv-
 ing of special mention were Charles
 Carter, Fred Clare, Miss Annie Thomp-
 son, Mrs. Louisa Morse, Miss Ethel Or
 monde and Miss Celia Baker. There
 will be a performance this evening of
 this celebrated play and from the large
 sale of seats already 1t is evident that
 there will be large audience. Those
 who have seen this piece can't help but
 go again and those who have not should not fail to attend this evenings
 performance. It Is a piece than can be
 seen many times and still be enjoyed.
 Prices s1, 75, 50, 35 and 25 cents.
 Winchester" a romance of Virginia in 'eS by Edward McWade, will be pre- scented at the Hyperion on Thursday night, November 7. The New York Herald says: Winchester has many thrilling scenes that pleased the audi ence. It aroused enthusiasm and Is likely to be heard from again next sea- son."
 MANSFIELD IN "BEAuCAIRE."
 There seems to be no dissent from the widespread opinion that in his new comedy, "Beaucaire," Richard Mans field has the greatest hit of his notable career. It Is delightful and original story, the production Is as complete and delicate as only this artist can make stage pictures, and the character of Beaucaire Is the most fascinating Mans field has ever had. not even excepting those cousinly masterpieces of comedy, Prince Karl and Beau Brummel. It is a role full of the niceties of manners, the fopperies of an exquisite, the hero- ism of a gallant, the tenderness of a lover the caustic repartee of a wit and the dramatic expression coveted by dramatic master. It Is romantic part in the sense that there is an absorbing love story from curtain to curtain, but 1t is also character part. Beaucaire speaks English only imperfectly. Mans fields accent and manner are quite diff ferent from any investiture he or any other actor has before given a French man. Richard Mansfield will present "Beaucaire" at the Hyperion Saturday night, November g.
