Hyperion Theater.

A great attraction is that offered by
the management Of the Hyperion to-
night, and which merits a packed
house, and deserves the special atten-5
ton of all who appreciate a very fine
theatrical bill. This is the presentation

names as Clara Morris, James o'Neil,
J. E. Dodson Grace George, Mrs. Lee.
Moyne and others, are seldom seen to-
gether in one cast. But they will APP
pear this evening at the Hyperion. All
of these stars are well and favorably
known to the theatergoers Of New Ha-3
ven. They have appeared frequently at
the Hyperion in many different plays,
but the people of this city never before
had an opportunity of seeing such
collection of talent in one company.
The worcester Evening Gazette be-
slowed great praise ON the work Of the
company, which played THE Two Or
phans'' In that city few evenings ago.
The Gazette said:
Every actor who had a part Of any
prominence received his share of APP
probation, but it was Clara Morris who
won the general applause when she
came on the stage for her part as Sis
ter Genevieve, matron Of La Salptiere.
She was given an ovation whenever a
break in her lines had given the OPP
portunits.
1.-THE tribute was one that showed the
people had lost nothing Of their old
time affection and esteem for the great
est emotional actress that the Amer
lean stage has yet known. Though not
as vigorous bodily as her admirers
woiid wish to see her, still her rendi-
ton of the part and of the lines showed
that her mind grasped as strongly as
ever the niceties of dramatic interpre-
tatioE
James o. Neil as De vaudry showed
all his inherent cleverness. Though
Mr.. O'Neil hardly looked the part, he
played tito perfection, and shared hon
ors with Miss Morris in the applause.
j. 3. Dodson played the cripple Al
though the part was one somewhat
likely to be obscured by the Importance
of the others, nevertheless, he gave it
prominence by his worthy acting, clear
and sympathetic enunciation, and the
fine grasp of the pathos to be portray
ed. He was. in fine favor with the au-
dience.
Louis James. as Jacques, the brig !
and's brother, looked and acted every
inch his job. He was the villainous
villain to perfection, without overstep-
ping the modesty of good acting.
Mrs. LeMoyne, as the countess, gave
fine account of herself, and showed
that she is an actress of exceptional
ability. The part seemed to be one well
fitted for her style of acting, and she
was in great favor with the audience.
Grace George, as Louise, and Sarah
Truax, as Henriette, in the part Of the
two orpans, played their important
roles with great credit to themselves
E1ita Proctor Otis, as La Frochard,
brought out every whit of the repul-
siveness and sordid humor that the
part seemed capable of. William Beach
with the part as minister of police,
showed himself an actor of merit and
Jameson Lee Finney, as the valet,
Frightened the general tone of sadness
that pervades the piece with HIS clever
and not overdone humor.
