..MR. PIPPs A SUCCESS.

|
 The character comedian Charley
 Grapewin, supported by a most excel-
 lent company, gave a very satisfactory presentation of the new musical play, l MT. Pipp," at the Hyperion theater
 last night, and the rounds of generous
 applause attested of the appreciation of
 this decidedly clever production. | MT. Pipp" is bnilded on entirely new
 and original lines and presents refresh I ing situations which are replete with vim and merriment which last night
 kept the large audience in an almost
 constant state of laughter. MT. Pipp's 8 Ipredicaments and his versatility of ex- l blaming them, and his constana efforts
 to avoid a willy mother-in-la who is I'always looking for trouble present
 abundant opportunity for the display of
 his ability. He is an exceedingly funny
 man and emerges from the numerous l fiery interviews with the omnipresent | and officious mother-in unperturb- and witty, and at times somewhat spicy. ! g..s.s Y Bl The piece is in three acts and the scenes are laid in Pipp' s, kitchen, Dore's restaurant, Pipp's sleeping apartment and reception room. The scenery is elaborate, the company very large and fexcellently costumed. ..,s4 .s
 The cartoon characters of Reggie,
 Tom and Jack and the girls are used to advantage, and "Mugsie, the. 1nessen- ger boy, is character who by his, tn- usual sayings and actions causes much Imerriment. .. Numerous specialties are introduced throughout the play, and especially in the last act, where topical songs are given by George Thatcher, Sallie Stem bier and 3 medley dance by the Reiff brothers. The sextette "The Poppy and the Golden Rod" was very good and eight encores were demanded.
 The company leaves this morning for Philadelphia, where twill present MT. Pipp" at the Walnut Street theater for an extended engagement. +% One of the big selling books is Miss Petticoats,a written by Dwight Triton, and it has been dramatized by George T. Richardson of the Boston Traveller. A number of we'll known. American actresses have been after Miss Petit coats," but Miss Clark. the head of the Clark Publishing company finally selected. Kathryn Osterman as the
 actress best suited for the part. The
 heroine of Miss Petticoats'' is Agatha Renier. young girl of a stormy, pas- sionate nature, whose life runs the gamut of love in all it's manifold stages, and who finally, after experiences that encompass affection, disappointment
 and vengeance, is made happy by the love of good man. Miss Osterfnan, al- though still a young woman, has been prominent on the American Stage for some seasons. She is a handsome wo- man. Of an artistic temperament. and
 that type of ability that will meke her appearance in Miss Petticoats" a not able one. It will be a big scenic pro- duction with a company of thirty-five, and will be seen at the Hyperion on Friday and Saturday, September Il and 12. r
