 The brilliant actress Kathryn oster- man will be seen at the Hyperion next Friday and Saturday nights, at the head of her own company, in big scenic production of the five-act play Miss Petticoats," which was specially dramatized for her from the popular novel of the same title by George T. assist Miss Osterman in the proper por- trayal of the piece is a good one, num- bering thirty-four people. The story of the play is full of incident, the heroine rising from the place of a neglected girl, who lives with her grandfather in an old whaling bark tied up at one of the wharfs at "Old Chetford," to for tune and title to assure her position. All this comes about because, acciden- tally. she saves the life of a wealthy woman of the village, who adopts her and has her educated. By and by the young girl finds that her father has been a wealthy French nobleman, and that she is to inherit his title. The wealthy patron, too, leaves her the for tune she had intended for her nephew, and then the beautiful Agatha Renier is in a position to revenge herself on the men and women of "Old Chetford," who insulted her while she was poor and unknown. This revenge she thor oughly accomplishes and ends by mar rying the minister who was her teacher when she was a poor girl.
 Plenty of incident is crowded into the story. The enemies of the girl, who are jealous of the favor she, has found with Mrs. Copeland, are many and are head ed. by Guy Hamilton, the woman's nephew, who was disinherited, and by several snobbish people of the town who think the poor girl presuming. Anoth- CT batch of characters introduced are several old sailor friends of Agatha s grandfather, who is himself Captain Stewart, an old sailor, and his compan- ions. Captain Phineas Sykes, Hank De- nelson and Artemas Slickersley. In the last two acts, which occur in New York, the society grows more aristocratic. Brokers and bankers of New York so- ciety amuse themselves with dinners at Sherry's, lunches at Delnonico's and balls in Fifth avenue mansions, in be- wildering fashion. Agatha's minister lover is naturally somewhat shocked to find his goddess in a low-necked gown and talking to reprehensible people in evening clothes. Then "tlle fair count ess," as she is called, turns stock brok- CT. and by her clever manipulations in the market contrives to ruin one of her old-time enemies. But the minister lover marries her at last and she grows tender and forgiving toward her old foes.
 Seat sale opens tomorrow. Prices $1.50, $1, 75 cents and 50 cents.
