 The sale of seats and boxes for the engagement of "The Earl of Pawtuck- ct" at the Hyperion tonight has been characterized by an unusually heavy demand for tickets since its opening. So many reports as to the unusual pop ularity of this play during it's year run in New York and as to the remark able work of Lawrence D'Orsay in the title role have reached local theater- goers during the past year that it is not surprising to find this unusual ac- tivity at the advance sale. During his engagement here MT. D'Orsay will be accompanied by the same players who appeared with him in New York. The play is by Augustus Thomas and is conceded by all the New York critics to be very much superior to any of his earlier successes. Seat sale now open. Prices $1.50 ,$1 and 75 cents.

 night, when Herman the Great" ap- pears at that place of amusement. MT.

 Next Friday evening at the Hyperion there will be presented a play that will no doubt be long remembered by the theater-goers of this city. It is That Man and l." the latest play of Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, who has written more successes without a fail- ure than any living author. In this play Robert Hilliard has demonstrated that he stands without a rival in America among the good male stars that we have for this particular line of work. There is not an actor on the American stage says Acton Davies, of the New York Evening Sun, .who can wear dress suit and play heroic part unless it is Robert Hilliard." Surround ing Mir Hilliard is a, company of ex- ceptional merit including Maude Fealy and H. Reeves Smith. The play is one that vibrates with human interest and arouses our best emotions. If you see the first act you will stay for the last, so intense are the scenes. The produc- ton is one of rare beauty. and repre- sents the best work ever turned out of a scenic studio. This fact is acknowl- edged by all who have seen it. Seat sale is now open. Prices $1.50, $1 and lo cents.
 The De Wolf Hopper Opera company will present MT. Piekwiek' at the Fly perion next Saturday night. MT. Hop per, the star of the organization, needs no introduction. Suffice it to say that he will appear in the title role; and if his Pickwick is as good a character type as his Charlatan. Wang, Fl Capi- tan and Dr. Syntax we have 8 treat in store for us.
