The engagement of \. c. Goodwin and Miss Maxine Elliott tonight at the Hyper ion is one of the events of the season. They will give to us their latest success 'The Altar of Friendship" in which they have
 achieved q triumph second to none of their former ones. The story of the play deals with the self-sacridces of young man who, to shield his sister from shame and humiliation, assumes the guilt of a friend and room mate, who on the day the disclOS- ure of his evil-dOing is made is about to wed his sister. There is q countef-plot in tue play through which q love duel holds sway, a duel in which two hearts are pulling one against the other, but who ultimately come together and the divine injunction that | man shall not live alone" is fulfilled. Of course, a play that deals with such complex ities must in the natural course of events
 have much serious business, and also many ! touches of refined humor Of this the CO., stars make much. Mir. Go0dwins genius and Miss Elli0tt'S gentle humor dominating all. The play is very sumptuously mount ed. The company with which Mir Goodwin and Miss Elliott have surrounded them selves is composed of artists of repute,
 many of whom have been ill the support of ] these co-stars for years, and each its the individuality of his or her respective roles to a nicety. The gowning of the ladies is
 said to be very rich, the handsomest crea- 1 tions of the dressmaker's art obtainable, DOIn Ill HaElS ana l+OnuOl, DeiuS NoEu ny Miss Elliott. As the engagement is but for
 one night it Is advisable that seats be re- served at once. Seats now on sale to all

 1 It has been ten years since Stuart Robson 1 has appeared as Dromio of Syracuse in Will
 liam Shakespeare's classic ''Ihe Comedy of 1 Errors" and that his decision in regard to l the play he would produce Qurlng the pres
 ent season has been a wise one there can
 be do doubt. MT. Robson will present the l Comedy of Errors" at the Hyperion next Wednesday night. Mir. Robson will present 1 Shakespeare's classic in most elaborate
 way as regards costumes, scenery, proper
 ties and electrical effects. : This together with the fact that the comedians support ! ing company is said to be the strongest he
 has ever been surrounded by will doubtless have a tendency to. assemblies q critical and 1 fashionable audience. The sale of seats is
 now open. Prices $15o, $1, 75c. ,1 7,
 ..As spry as a kitten at ea', is 2 lipe from
 'HThe Old Honlestead, which Denman
 hundreds of times. and the countless adlllir-
 CTS of himself and his idyllies play who will
 doubtless warmly welcome him on the 6eea-
 sion of his coming engagement hsre on Sat; exemplification of the truth of the line in
 Mr. Thompson himself. MT. Thompson prom 1 ises for the coming engagement the same realistic scenic environment. The striking s
 reproduction of Grace church by moonlight
 is said to be the most elaborate and .effec-
 tive that MT. Thompson has even given us.

 new and pleasing numbers. Seats OH sale
