Hyperion 'cheate-.

George w. Lederer's new musical
comique, 1.-THE Jersey Lily" scored a
great hit at the Hyperion last night.
This is the autumn production of the
highly successful musical comedy which
hassplayed to such tremendous business
sat the Victoria. New York. The cast.
the company, costumes, scenery and all
accomplishments are strictly metropoli-
tan. Such a splendid feature was fully
appreciated by the large audience. THE
Jersey Lily" calls for an elaborate pro-
duction and Mr.. Lederer has succeeded
admirably and presents one Of the mots#
brilliant spectacles ever on the Hype-
rion stage.
While the staging is superb yet the
company is composed of celebrities and
the parts cast for them suit adnira-
bly,. Miss Bloucle Ring essays that Of
Lilliandra or '.tlle Jersey Lily" She
possesses a remarkably pretty face, fine
figure, sweet voice and in her exquisite
gowns was beWitching indeed. Billy
Van, as the veterinary; d. L. Don, as
the lawyer, Adam DRrie; Rose Beau
mont, as Senorita Marguerite; Martha
Franklin, the eccentric Dutch dialect
character, Rose Bauer, and Butler Tay-
lor were all exceedingly well received.
1.-THE Jersey Lily" possesses an
abundance Of beautiful and catchy nu-
sic. Of the kind which will be wffstledi
and sung for days to come. Encores
were demanded after every number and
some OF the numbers were encored so
repeatedly that 1T was necessary to
improvise on the stage. .. Il
The chorus is young, in fact composed
OF the youngest girls ever seen on the
stage in this city, but they are shapely,
graceful and possessors of good voices.
The entire company entered into the
spirit Of the evening and made the per-
Torrance one of the best ever.
1.-THE Jersey Lily will be repeated
at the Hyperion tonight.
y r. C. Carton, the eminent playwright,
has written a new society comedy cali
ed "A Clean Slate in which Miss Jes-
sic MillWard is starring this season.
Mr.. Carton wrote Lord and Lady AL
gy,'' in which Miss Millward scored
such a great success several seasons
ago, as Lady Algy and in this new
play he has provided her with role
much resembling the fascinating, i'm
petuous and charming Lady Algy. The
play derives its title from the desire
of a ebautiful young woman, who has
been the victim of an ill-assorted mar
rage, to commence life over again with
clean slate. But the first entry upon
the clean slate Of life, tells Of another
love affair and a very entertaining one
at that. Manager Charles B. Diliing-
ham has provided Miss MillWard with
d strong supporting company includ-
ing y, III. Gilmour as leading man. Miss
Millward will appear in "A Clean Slate"
