ENTERTAINMENTS.
iiyperlon rhea,s..

One of the features of the Weber & Fields entertainment, which is to be seen at the Hyperion tonight, is the female chorus, consisting of nearly 100 pretty girls. It is said to be the most perfectly drilled chorus in the world, not alone by reason of the excellence fthe voices but because of the terp- sichorean grace and the physical beau ty of the young women. This chorus was drilled this year by Ben Teal, the general stage director for Weber & Fields, while the voices were trained by William T. Francis. composer of the music in "Whoop-Dee-Doo."
 Peter F. Daley is known as the fun niest fat man on the American stage. He has been identified with the sue cesses of Weber & Fields, and undoubt- edly will be greeted by many friends. In "Whoop- -Dee-Doo'' he has @ part which suits him extremely well, so the critics say. His songs, accompanied by some eighty pretty girls, scored tre- mendously during the engagement of the Weber, -Fieldians in San Francisco. 1 There is no theatrical organization in existence to-day containing so many names familiar to the play-going pub lie as that of Weber & Fields company. Nearly every one of the principals is a star of established reputation, such as Lillian Russell, Louis Mann, Charles J. Ross, John T. Kelly, Peetr F. Daley, Mabel Fenton, and Weber and Fields themselves. But besides these, includ- ed in the 100 persons composing the aggregation are numerous youn women famed as dancers and singers.

 Fascinating. bewitching Peggy from Paris" George Ade's latest musical comedy triumph which in long runs de- lighted New York, Boston and Chicago is coming to the Hyperion Tuesday, Wednesday nights this week, and will | exercise her charms over theater pat rons here. She is certain of a cordial welcome, for her praises have been sung to such an extent that her ap- pearance in this city is viewed with keen expectancy. Of all the musical comedies Peggy from Paris" has achieved one of the most pronounced successes. It has been voted the wit tiest and merriest of them all. It's wit is assured, for George Ade wrote the book, and critics say that he was never brighter than he Is in this play. The book is rich in delicious satire. The author has sport with the American tendency of paying homage to distin- guished foreigners in excess of their appreciation of native talent. A clever story is told, comedy that is more genuine than is usual in musical plays. l All the scenes are laid in this country. The characters are droll caricatures of amusing types. They are carried through a series of Imaginable comp1ica- tions and all the while they say witty l things. Furthermore, there is decided ly pretty music which was written by William Lorraine the composer of ''Za- mona" and "Salome." These popular
 
 compositions give a hint of the melody in which Peggy from Paris" abounds. I There are catchy songs and swinging choruses; there are delightful dance measures to which the big company step in fanciful measures; there are solos and duettes and all of those vocal combinations which appead to admirers of this class of entertainments. Peg gy from Paris" is abundant in all the bright. merry, fascinating qualities of musical comedy, with the further en- dowment of a genuinely interesting narrative and clever character portray als.
 In the company are Claude Albright, Josie Sadler, Guelma Baker, Florence Willard, George Richards, Jacques Kruger Paul Nicholson, Arthur Dea- lgon, E. H. O'Connor, Dan Baker, and Harold Crane.

Worlds Fair Notes.

A number of great family reunions
will be features Of the Worlds Fair.
There will be a gathering of the Ty-
lers, the Ramseys, Estills. the Rath-
buns and others, many OF whom have
never met before. The Smiths are
lacking. If the management with
wise forethought had signiied that 1t
would be well for the Smiths to as
semble together it would have been
a master stroke and no doubt the al
missions would have been increased
many fold.
"A remarkable piece Of tapestry val
ued at $780, 900 Is exhibited at the
Worlds Fair. 1t was made by hand
by A. M. de Lynski, who consumed
sixteen years In the work. The tap
estry measures 25x12 feet and into
that space the artist has crowded a
complete illustrated history Of the
United States. The pictures are exc.
cuted in silk, and the work was done
partly in Europe and partly in Amer
lea. The picture Of the landing OF
Columbus is very effective, as is also
that of Napoleon ceding the territory
q Louisiana to the United States.
The st. Edmondsbury Weaving
works OF Haslemere, England. has sem
some most exquisite productions Of
their looms to the Worlds Fair. These
fabrics Of silk and satin, include 4
chalice veil Of crimson satin brocadet
in gold thread with a symbolic de
sign. There are priestly yestment,
and hangings Of silk and hand.tuftet
rugs. Also an altar front OF greer
satin with woven devices IN golt
