ENTERTAINMENTS.
nyperio" Theater.

The principal event of the waning sea- son will occur tonight at the Hyperion theater in Klak & Erlanger's produc- tion of the new American farce John Henry" introducing Dan Daly and an unusual supporting company. Novelty will be the keynote to the whole produc- tion. In the first place MT. Daly, who is associated in the minds of nearly ey cry man, woman and child in the United States who knows anything at all about the stage, as one of the fore- most oe comedians in musical comedy or comic opera, will be seen in a straight comedy, with straight acting part to play, without single song to execute. or even one solitary dance to execute. MT. Daly has long been recognized as the cleverest, eccentric comedian on the stage, and in all his work in musical comedy, there has invariably shone through his buffoonery and terpsicorian and vocal eccentricities, the spark that only the true artist and genius emits. Intermingled in all his work has been that force of personality which stamped him more than a singer and a dancer, as more than an entertainer and convinced his auditors and his critics that he was besides these. an actor Of exceptional ability. Tn John Henry1' this side of his artistic versatility is more deeply drawn upon than anything he has at- tempted. In the second place the char acter which MT. Daly will rortray, and the general theme and story of his play, are entirely new to modern light liter ature and stage productions. The play, its character and incidents, are typically American. John Henry'.is the type of young man of the period, who although well bred and full of many of the finest masculine qualities, has the American habit of punctuating and emphasizing his speech with slang, whether he be frivilous or serious in his mood. In the picturesqueness of his coToquial expres- siveness he is. in what would probably be his own way of telling it, "the limit" Those who have seen Dan Daly or who have read any of the John Henry books from which the play is dramatized or any of the George Ade or Billy Baxter writings, the general lines of which John Henry resembles, will readily realize that in John Henry MT. Daly will be given a characterization almost perfectly fitted to his own peculiarly unique and attractive personality. The play will be repeated Friday, Saturday nights with matinee Saturday.

Grand Opera tt.suxe.

At the Grand opera house tonight and Friday and Saturday nights and at the Saturday matinee, Stetson's Uncle Toms Cabin'' company will be the att traction. An exchange has this to say Of the production:
 Twenty-Five years ago the present generation, in various stages of youth, attended the play "Uncle Toms Cabin, D laughed at the antics of the Topsies, and the Marks, wept when little Eva died and were thrilled at Eliza's escape across the ice. It is an old story now, but still the old play has wonderful drawing power and we flock to the opera house when it appears in town, as if the play was a creation of the present year.
 After the rom shows of mediocrity, or worse, that have visited us during the past few seasons. the performance given last night was a relief The com- pany was capable one and the scenes in Harriet Beecher Stowe's venerable but still powerful play were depicted in a manner that was true to life and sat- isfactory.
 It was an Uncle Toms Cabin brought up to date with cake walks, buck danc- ing and Dewey quartet yet none of the interest was sacrificed and the perform ance was an enjoyable one. In spite of the rainy night, the play was witnessed by an audience that almost filled the theater The matinee yesterday after noon also drew good sized house.
