 The revival of Romeo and Juliet," which theatergoers of this city will have one opportunity of hearing and witnessing at the Hyperion next Mon- day night, will prove beyond peradven- ture one of the most notable Shakes perean presentments in all features of cast and production that has been un- dertaken thus far in this country. The regular theater prices have been some what increased, but whereas this might call for criticism in the usual run of affairs, it can now be explained ana justified. An aggregation Of artists such as Liebler & Co. here announce for the interpretation of Shakespeare ex- quisite love story demands an onerous payroll, and the expenditures of this liberal and artistic firm of producers on the scenic investiture, special or chestra, large supernumerary force, special train of sleeping and parlor cars, heavy managerial expense and the thousand and one drains of access sary detail, makes it perfectly clear that the performances could not be given at regular prices without the loss of thousands of dollars.
 As it is, Liebler & Co. will probably make little if any actual profit out of their special spring tour this season. As said before the cast gives prom ise of proving the most remarkable ever furnished here, not only for this classic but for any play within the
 recollection of present day theatergo- CTS.
 There is hope for the drama while there exists managers who, like Lieb- 1 Ter & Co.,. are willing to do fine things 1 in fine way and risk probable loss, in fact almost certain loss, in their effort to supply the highest art of the thea ter to the still circumscribed contingent of homes: art lovers.
 The explanation of this unique con- | dition in American theatrical manage ment lies in the personality and pur- pose of George z, Tyler, who isthe pro- ducing or executive member of the firm.
 This manager naturally desires reeog- milton from the best criticcs as pur- veyor of dramatic art, nothing else, and he was willing, and declares still is willing to continue on this policy,
 taking the long chances on the com l mercial end of the proposition. 1 The cast is herewith announced in full, because of it's extraordinary ex- ceI1ence:
