Hyperion Theater. QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER AT HY- PERION TONIGHT.


 PERION TONIGHT.
 Quincy Adams Sawyer plays return
 engagement at the Hyperion tonight
 The dramatization of so popular a move
 as Quincy Adams Sawyer" was de. layed year, the publishers refusing
 the most flattering offers from leading
 managers throughout the country, until
 they were assured they had the right tc
 dramatize the book and the right par
 ties to produce it in all the sweet rural
 charm of this story. The aim was tc
 reproduce with great fidelity, on the
 stage, the quaint characters and the
 genuine New England homespun at-
 mosphere in which they live.
 Nothing has been omitted to give the
 true atmosphere of realism to the
 scenes. The entire production, consist
 ing of five big sets of beautiful and ef-
 fective scenery, is painted by William
 s. Gill; while the construction of scen-
 cry and the mechanical effects are by John Foley. The story of the play is as sweetly natural as the breath of the fields, the good folks who move in it's scenes are real, and their honest humor and everyday views of life are cheer- ful, while throughout the clever chain of events runs the golden thread of a unique love story The play is pre- scented by a carefully selected company of well known artists. Seats now on sale. Prices $1, 75c, soc, 35c, 25c.
