ENTERTAINMENTS. S.
Hyperion Theater,

Hyperion fheater.
 There are five acts in the play of ''The Holy City" which will be produc- ed at the Hyperion tonight. Each act is distinct and separate from the other, and the entire five acts are carried by the company presenting the play. Not piece of scenery belonging to the local theater is used in the performance. These five handsome sets of scenery were painted by the we'll known firm of Moses & Hamilton of New York city, and from the time these artists com menced work in their caDacious studio up to the time of the completion of the last piece of scenery their studio was more than usually visited by numbers of ladies and gentlemen attracted by the beauty of the work and the interest shown in the play itself. At scenic and dress rehearsal of '"The Holy City, given later Manager Broadhurst was be- sieged by hundreds of friends, acquaint- anees and strangers that were desirous of witnessing it, with the result that the theater was crowded to the doors Nothing but words of praise were heard on all sides for the elegance of the play and the production.
 One of the many excellent features of the performance is the variety and the richness of the costumes and the artistic harmony of color shown in groupings of the many characters on the stage. There are some thirty peo- pie in the company at the head of which is the beautiful and accomplished Miss Iva Merlyn.

 William Morris, the popular and bril- liant young actor who is announced to appear here in E. V. Esmond's beautiful comedy When We Were Twenty-one" at the Hyperion on Saturday at the popular matinee and at night, is rather a unique figure in the theatrical world, most actors. especially those who att tain prominence in their profession grow enthusiastic about their act and declare that they are only happy when before the footlights. MT. Morris goes to the other extreme and confesses proudly that he is only happy when out of the theater. MT. Morris has had number of offers to appear in several New York productions the past season, but declined them all saying that if I must act will only play one part and that Is Dick in When We Were Twenty-one," to which piece MT. Morris owns the sole rights.
