WAY DOWN EAST TONIGHT
 AND TO- MORROW NIGHT.

AND O-MORROW NIGHT.
 Pleasing to hundreds will be Way
 Down East" at the Hyperion tonight
 and tomorrow night and at the bar
 gain matinee tomorrow. This is the
 great play by Lottie Bla.r Parker, elab-
 orated by Joseph R. Grismer, that ere
 ated a decided sensation in New York,
 where it remained for nearly two years. It will be given here under the personal
 direction of William A. Brady with a sterling cast, careful attention to de- tails handsome scenery and with all the realism that evinced it's success
 elsewhere. All classes of people, among
 them thousands who seldom visit the-
 ater, have become warm partisans or
 Way Down East" It is full of de- 1 lightful little episodes. One diScloses
 the pride that underlies mothers love
 for her son. The young man Is in love | with a girl whom his fond parents be-
 lieve is an outcast, utterly unworthy,
 and whom she berates for encouraging 1 her boy. The girl retorts that not only | had she not encouraged him, but she
 had refused to marry him. The moth- ] CTS pride is in arms in an instant, and
 she becomes all the more indignant be-
 cause the girl has had the bad taste not i to fall in love with her son. Another i even funnier incident is shown on the
 part of an arbitrary, strong Willed old
 New Hampshire squire who brings to-
 gether his son and niece, intending that they shall marry, and leaves them to
 'cOme to an understanding" They do
 this very readily, each telling the other
 that they loved some one else, and they
 separate on the best of terms, but not as lovers. The squire comes back on
 tiptoe, makes sly jokes about the young
 people and the tender relations which he believes they have assumed. When he uncovers his eyes he finds another couple in the room instead of his son and niece. Thus he discovers he has made a fool of himself, and his pom derous playfuness gives place to an outburst of rage. The play is full of relishable fun as well as the serious in- terest attendant upon the pathetic sto- ry of the heroine There is thorough ly realistic snoWstorm, a splendid quar tette and much else that goes to make up a perfect production. Seats now rapidly selling. Prices: Night, $1, 75 cents and 50 cents: matinee, 25 cents and 50 cents.
