Hyperion rheatr-.
 At the Hyperion tonight Sam S. shu- bert and Nixon and Zimmerman will present The Jefferson De Angelis Opera company in the ondon Gaiety success ''The Toreador,'' which drew immense audiences at the Knickerbocker theater, New York, during it's run of seventeen weeks last season. The piece, it is said, gives Mir. DeAngelis splendid chances in the character of Sammy Gigg, the Eng fish footman. Through an adroitly con- ceived. train of humorous complications he is mistaken for the champion bull fighter of Spain. MT. DeAngelis is seen at his best. It is said he has never had a role which gives him such exceptional opportunities for fun making. The pro duction is not, however, a one-part piece; it possesses several characters which bear very important relation to the development of the story. These include Edgar Norton as Sir Archiband Slackett, Lillian English, as Nancy Staunton. John Dudley as Augustus Trail, William Blaisdell as Pettifer, F. Stanton Hecle as the toreador, Bertha Recci as Mrs. Hoppings, Norma Bell as Dora Selby. and Edna Burd as Susan, Gigg's sweetheart. These names. well known players, indicate that the lead ing parts are in capable hands. AL though the story possesses much merit it's chief aspects are comic. Seat sale now open.

 At the Hyperion theater tomorrow an attraction will be presented of which much is expected, and from which much will be realized, judging from the praise accorded the play wherever it has al- ready appeared. The piece is 'TThe Su- perstition of sue,' a rollicking farce comedy from the pen of Paul Arm strong, newspaper writer who has risen from the ranks along with George Ade, Henry M. Blossom and other young playwrights. MT. Armstrong ad- nlits that when he wrote "Sue'' his mind was not disturbed by high art ideals. He pleads guilty to desire to make his audiences laugh, and he guar antees that The Superstition of Sue" will fulfill his ambition in that respect. Preceding "The Superstition of Sue" will be The Blue Grass Handicap" a racing idyll that is a scintillating gem oe merriment Seat sale now open. Prices $1.5O s1. 75c.
 l Miss Viola Aliens company to sup ' port her in her production of Shakes peare's delightful comedy Twelfth i Night" to be presented at the Hyper l ion next Wednesday night was chosen with very great care, and resultant suc- cess. Almost every member of the cast l is acquainted with the proper rendering of blank verse, very necessary requisite, otherwise a Shakespeare con- edy would go to smash. Miss Aliens earliest experience and one of her first successes was as Juliet The other fe- male roles of the comedy are in eultur- 1 ed hands. Zeffie Tilbury, who will be seen as Maria. enacted the same role with great success in Beerbohm Trees famous production of the play at His Majesty's theater, London. Mary Ta- vende will be Olivia, tall and divinely sair. Of the male members of the cast all are performers of wide experience, including John Blair, Clarence Handy side, James Young, Scott Craven, C.. Leslie Allen, Edwin Howard and Frank Currier The play was produced and is stage managed by F. Percival Stevens, of His Majesty's theater London
 Our own John Drew and Charles Hawtrey, the English comedian, have been compared, but there is found no similarity between them. It is agreed that they are distinctly unlike as are
 their nationalities. They both dress well
 but wear their clothes differently Haw- trey's acting suggests exuberant hu-
 manity, while Drew is almost human in his method never quite. They might play together in the same cast admir- ably, so clear and striking would be the contrast. The only respect in which 1 they resemble each other, however. is that neither is matinee hero. Mir. iHawtrey was seen last season in "A Message from Mars" and early the present season in "The Man from
 Blankley's.'' The play "Saucy Sally in which he is now announced at the Hyperion theater for next Friday even- ing, is totally at variance with the oth-
 CT two plays, and is regarded the super for comedy of the three. It is coming here direct from the Hollis street thea ter. Boston, where it was recently the
 reigning delight of that city. Seat sale
 opens Wednesday. Prices $2, $f,5O, $1. There are bits of every war song of forty years ago rom Marching Thro Georgia to When Johnny Comes
 Marching Home" together with strains from the old fashioned negro melodies in the score of the new comic opera
 When Johnny Comes Marching Home
 which will be presented at the Whitney opera company at the Hyperion next Saturday, matinee and night. The plot
 is at times melodramatic and the humoi of legitimate character in which the
 music plays a strong part, The entire production, which is said to be one of the most pretentious that has been given a comic opera for some years
 will be the same as that which enjoyed
 a four months run last winter at the New York theater, New York. Seat
