ENTERTAINMENTS.
HyperAen rneats-.

Iaude Adams has again come. acted
 d conquered. She conquered an ex- Dtionally large audience at the Fly
 -ion last evening by her superb and
 lI-nigh matchless rendition of the
 rt of Pepita, the Pretty Sister of
 Be. Pepita is one of those young wo-
 In of indomitable spirit and intending
 de who foreswear allegiance to the
 married state and protest on every
 easion that they shall never endure
 be subject to the lot of others whose fe has been once requited, but soon sgotten.
 fThe Pretty Sister of Jose'' is a play -four acts and carries with it a story
 much interest. Pepita is fair young Eman, fresh from the country, imbued |th the simpleness and charm of |lntry lass, and who refuses all at htions of young lovers, casting them |de. as she would a toy with which
 E had tired playing. Finally she at hds a bull-fight in Madrid and there attracted by a young Madator Sebas- 'no (Henry Ainley), handsome, brave,
 ring and honest. A glance from her
 hutiful eyes makes him almost forget
 task of killing the bull, and he |hrly loses his life. He has been ad- red and loved by many others of alth and station, but they have not
 pealed to him as has Pepita. His
 Bt impulse is to rid himself of the
 -ddening throng who hasten to crown
 n with honors and to seek out the
 B who has attracted him while in the
 g.
 His search is rewarded, but she sulk- turns from him and feigns pleasure |the dance. True to her past protest ons, she refuses his advances and Ens a deaf ear to his entreaties, but Ill she loves him and that love grows |til he asks her to marry him. Still Etinate, she refuses to answer or even kor him With a word, when he wearies
 q leaves her. She then realizes her
 and is disconsolate until his return | Spain, when she attempts to attract attention by the same dance in &ich she engaged when he first sought
 j.. But he turns aside and rushes 1 Q the ring, only to be bored by a Ql. He is carried to a room adjoining ! arena, and there, being given up to S, Pepita, in most touching and try x scene, with her heart full of an- 8ish and her proud spirit broken, 1hys that he may only give her one Nrd before he dies. He revives just 4 the sun is breaking forth, and they IS reunited.
 tAs the naughty miss with the indom- Eble and unconquerable will, and a Termination never to be won by love,
 ss Adams was most excellent. Her Rnsitions from scorn to laughter and |ppiness, such as would almost turn
 man's love to hatred, were truly re-
 rkable and brought forth great ap- {use. She was exceptionally good at close of the third act, where Sebas- i no bade her goodbye forever, and |the last act, where she prays for his eovery and the joy of her reward. In Henry Ainloy Miss Adams has a fong leading man and he was a capi- Sebastiano. Jose, her brother (Ed- |r Selwym); G. Harrison Hunter, as Rdre Alejandro, the priest, and Miss |orence Gelbart, as Juana. were also Try good. The entire supporting com Thy is one of much excellence. The |stumes and scenery are all in keep g with the locale of the several acts, hich are in and near Madrid, Spain. |sThe Pretty Sister of Jose' will be |peated this evening, and as the ad- |nce sale is very large it is certain lat there will be an immense audi Ice.
