 JERION TONIGHT.
 In these days of so called "all star" casts, the company that has been en- gagged to support George Parsons in William (Willie) Golfers new comedy, Would You For Five Million,' is worthy of note. Such galaxy of well known players. has seldom been seen together in one company.
 Maud White, leading lady with Stuart Robson for the past two seasons, will enact the role of an Eng fish society woman, and her creation of this part is said to be the best of her career; Isabelle Urquhart noted for her beauty and considered the best dressed woman on the American stage; Nave Louise Aigen, for the past two seasons playing leading heavy roles with Castle Square Stock company in Boston; Georgie Drew Mendum, niece of John Drew and late leading lady with Joseph Jefferson; Myrtle May, one of the best known and popular Ingenues in the pro- fession, and for the past three seasons in the support of Mir. Collier; and Belle Robinson, for the past two seasons one of the noted beauties of Weber & Fields famous Stock company in New York, go to make up a list of names compris- ing talent and beauty such as has never before been seen together in one com pany.
 The male members of the company are quite as well and favorably known as the women, few of the better 1yya Iu. side, who last season supported Kyrle Bellew in "A Gentleman of France; Morgan Conan, for three seasons lead ing juvenile with MT. Golfers conn pany; Charles Arthur, leading man with Charles Frohman's road compa- nies for four seasons; Becton Radford, who brought himself prominent before the public by his clever interpretation of the role of Petronius in "Quo Vadis'; Richard Malchien, an actor of ability and a famous exponent of the art of fencing; and H. G. Hockey, who has created the leading comedy roles with the we'll known Broadhurst comedies for the past four seasons.
 MT. Parsons is considered one of the best light comedians now before the public, and his clever work for the past six seasons as MT. Golfers chief sup port, has gained for him many admirers who claim that he is the only actor we now have who could creditably fill MT. Golfers place. He Is young and good looking and full of magnetism, and works with that easy and unctuous manner that draws one insensibly to- Il, NTr ayoI bo for long time been very close friends, and knowing his peculiar style of work MT. Collier has taken great pains and the result has been that MT. Parsons has part giving him great opportunity to show his talent.
 The locale of the play is laid in Con- stantinople, and is in three acts, The first act shows the British embassy in that city, and the second and third acts represent a typical Oriental scene, known as the Flower Palace. The great scope for the scenic artists, and they have taken full advantage of this, the production being a very lavish and beautiful one. The plot of Would You For Five Million is novel one, and deals with the troubles and difficulties of a young Englishman who has been left a lot of money upon certain condi- tions, and his trying to avoid same without losing his inheritance. The situations and complications arising from this original polt are said to be very funny. Half of the characters in- troduced are English and the other half Turkish, and the Turkish costumes worn are very gorgeous.
 Would You For Five Million" will be produced at the Hyperion theater to- night, and from the extraordinary inter- est excited by it, and the very large advance sale seems to indicate that the engagement here will be very success ful one. Two performances only will be given, Friday and Saturday nights.
