 Mrs. Fiske and her company will be seen at the Hyperion on Friday night in her new play, "The Drama" and deals with New York life in the circles of which she is a keen observer. The new play presents many types that will be recognized as of the higher social circles in New York, and it possesses an unusually effective alternation ot comedy and serious interest It has many good characters from the view point of the theater, while it is play up-to-date in everything. Mrs. Fiske herself in this drama has the most sympathetic and moving part Of her career. It will be a treat to see this actress in play of to-day with met ropolitan atmosphere.
 The Mrs. Hatch of the story, the character that Mrs. Fiske will imper- sonate, is an impulsive, lovable woman, who had been early married to man unworthy of her. His questionable friendship for a woman of his own sort leads the wife, in a spirit of resentment and jealousy, to forfeit her home by an act of imprudence. The husband d. vorces her, marries the other woman, and the unhappy heroine, leaving her infant daughter against her will, takes refuge in distanct city under an as- stunned name and without resources struggles in hardship for an honest in- dependence, which she finally wins.
 The one act paly, A Bit of Old Chel- sea- that will follow The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch" is a delightful comedy in which Mrs. Fiske's portrayal of Lon- don street waif is a gem of art.
