"LAZARRE" TO BE PRESENTED
 TONIGHT.
 MT. Skinner will appear tonight at the Hyperion in his new play, Ia zarre,' founded upon the we'll known romance by Mrs. Catherwood Those who saw MT. Skinner last season in his noteworthy revical of Francesca Da Rimini' need not be informed of the fact that this actor is one of the potent forces on the American stage to-day. Theater-goers, therefore, who appreci- ate the best form of dramatic art will welcome the opportunity to see this great actor in his new role in a drama that promises to reflect more nearly the substance and spirit of romance based upon American history than any dra- matization of book yet seen. The character of Lazarre ought to fit MT. Skinner ideally, and, as usual, he will have the support of a company in every way worthy of artistic association with him. Nannette Comstock, Maud Dur bin, Charles Welles. Joseph Weaver, Walter Allen and the veterans, Mervyn Dallas and Ben Ringgold, are among the prominent players in his supporting company this season. One of the scenes of "Lazarre" shows Lake George by moonlight, and this scene is said to be novelty in stage art. Another picture in the play will show the Court of Lou is XVIII. The stage will be peopled by scores of fair women and courtiers cos tuned in the fashion of the picturesque Mo, 1z
 Prices $1.50, $1 and 75 cents.
 The attraction at the Hyperion to- morrow, at the popular matinee and at night, is the original big city production of that ever popular and effervescent musical comedy favorte, "The Burgo- master" This is the 'all-star" com- pany which has been appearing in the large cities and enjoyed the phenome- nal unbroken season of one hundred straight weeks. This year the produc- tion is new throughout in the way of scenery, costumes and effects, and many new and novel features have been added, making it, in fact, new production throughout. "The Burgo- master" is too well known among the musical-loving people of this country to need further introduction, save it to say that it may be characterized as a veritable Aladdin achievement which is backed by gorgeous setting and fantas- tic stage pictures, emphasized by bevies of pretty girls with shapely figures and sweet voices, frisking about in hues of brilliant coloring. Seats now on sale. Prices: Popular matinee, ST. 75 cents and 50 cents; night, $1.50, $1 and 75 cents.
 One of the chief factors in the suc- cess of Soldiers of Fortune" which was presented by Robert Edeson, under the direction of Henry B. Harris, for 150 nights at the Savoy theater, New York, is the vraisblant picture it offers of the political life in one of those little South American republics where they will make you revolution while you wait. Scenically and atmospherically, | it is said to be the first play which gives one a correct idea of the tropics. | MT. Edeson and Soldiers of Fortune' will be seen for return engagement next Monday and Tuesday nights at the Hyperion. The sale of seats is now open. Prices $1.5O, $1 and 75 cents. | ENTHUSIASM OVER CREATORE. Creatore, with his now famous Ital- | ian band, played for two weeks in Sep l tember at the Pittsburg exposition, and there created fully as mcuh of a sensa- ton among the newspaper writers and artists as he did in New York city. The adjectives that some of the writers used in describing the concerts are en- phatic, to say the least The Dispatch termed Creatore a mystery" and the | wonder of the day" who "Svengaliz- ed' his audiences; who was theatrical, hypnotical, passionate and tempera- mental. The writer confessed that he | felt as though string had snapped
 inside his heart and Creatore was play | ing on the loose end of it." Creatore was declared "a musical wonder who
 achieved a distinct triumph" Speak ing of Creatore's gestures, the Dispatch
 thought "he seemed to be playing all the instruments hirnself," and declared
