 In :Mr Pickwicks sa3awhieh will be presented at the Hyperion tonight, De Wolf Hooper no longer resorts to buf- foonery or horse play, for in this play, which is a musical comedy by Charles Klein, he has a straight, high comedy part. The conception of the characters in Dickens hook does not admit of burlesque and Mir. Hopper, it is said, has fallen in with the spirit of Dickens in his creations. Included in MT. Hop- per's support are Dlgby Bell, Laura Joyce Bell. Marguerite Clark, Grant Stewart, Henry Norman and Louise Courtney.
 The author of the dramitization has selected some of the principal comedy situations of the story and welded them into a consistent play. The opening scene discloses the Dingley Dell Arms, showing the arrival. of Mr. Pickwiok, Sam Weller, Old Weller and the mem- bers of the Pickwick club, who are about tob in their tour of investiga- ton of the worlds troubles Then comes the elopement of Alfred Jingle with Miss Wardle, showing how the former Sc clever rascality threw the en- tire blame on Mir. Pickwick's shoulders. Then comes the visit to the ladies' Seminary to investigate the purpose of women as illustrated by the girls, and the subsequent falling in love of the Pickwickians with half of the school. Then is shown the thwarting of Jin- gle's schemes by Sam Weller and his father, Tony Weller. Then comes the visit of the club at MT. Wardle's home, the various plans of entertainment, their numerous advantages while there, the stealing of the lunch by the school girls and Polly, owing to the fat boys irresistible inclination to sleep, the ar rival of Mrs. Bardell, her neices and lawyers, and finally showing how Wrinkle falls in love with Arabella, how Jingle carries off Mrs. Bardell, and how Pickwick Is taken off home in 8 hay wagon.
 The complete New York production will be given the same as used during the three months run at the Herald Square Theater.
