ENTERTAIN1YENTS


Fully 100 people are employed in the
e. H. Sothern production of Hamlet"
to be given at the Hyperion theater to-
morrow night. For Shakespearlan
revival these figures will appear an
exaggeration, but If anything the total
mentioned is under the mark. The fol-
lowing list will show how the number
is made up: According to the cast the
principals are twenty-one, no less than
fifty extras will be used in the mise-en-
scene; these are described in the play
book as lords, ladies, officers, soldiers,
PLAYERS, sailors, messengers and attend
ants Over thirty people are required
to put the play on. 1t is especially
noted that owing to the elaborate ma
ture of the production the curtain VIII
rise at 7:45 p. m. This is done in ORDER
to enable the management to get
through the performance by the usual
hour.
Seats are now on sale and there has
been a good demand for them. Prices
50, $1.5O, 81, 75c, SOC.

season of $50 nights of pronounced sue
cess at the Casino. New York. went to
London and for CTS performances played
at the Shaftesbury theater before the
most enthusiastic of audiences. The
costuming this season of THE Belle of
New York is experimenting like them
have been seen in this country. They
are from the designs and plates of Eu-
ropes most clever artists and design
ers. "The Belle of New York is by far
the brightest and liveliest of all the
Casino pieces, and it's rapid action gives
a chance for the introduction of num-
erous choruses and ballets of exceeding
beauty. The girls who have been Sc
lected for those numbers are said to be
the fairest of all who have graduated
from the Casino, and their capture of
social London proved the strongest-en-
dorsement that could be given to the
Casinos reputation as conservatory
of beauty. Seats now on sale, Csc, Soc,
