| The action of "Harriet's Honey
 moon," the new Ditrichstein comedy
 which is being so successfully present.
 ed at present by Mary Mannering, is laid in a very small German watering place. The springs have but recently
 been discovered and are under the sole control of the village doctor. He is | looking for advertising and before the two days elapse. which is the period of action supposed to be shown i'll the comedy, he has all that is required. Kyrnhalden. which is the name of this | tiny Spa, is a Carlsbad or an Aix-les- Rains in miniature. It is off the trav- eled road and it is in a place like this the astute traveller finds many types which are never to be found in the lar
 ger places. MT Ditrichstein's charac- ter drawing is said to have been most excellent. The lines of the comedy are very bright and the situations and com plications very amusing.
 Miss Mannering has a role which suits her to perfection. She typifies a
 young American bride on her wedding
 trip, who through a series of adven- lures arising from a case of mistaken
 identity is separated from her husband.
 Of course he is restored to her before
 the end of the play, but in the interval
 she has remarkable opportunities to. display her powers both as comedi- enne and an emotional actress Man.
 ager Frank Mckee has provided
 handsome and picturesque setting for each of the three acts of the comedy
 and is said to have surrounded Miss Mannering with a company of excep- tional excellence.
 Miss Mannering will present .'Harri- cts Honeymoon" at the Hyperion to-
 night. Seat sale now open. Prices $150, $1 and 75 cents.
 Charles Frohman will present Will
 liam Collier in Richard Harding Davis farce, "The Dictator" during the pres ent season. It is in three acts, and the action of the piece takes place in Porto
 Banos, republic of ear Manana, Gen. tral America. Many laughable absurd
 ities are evolved from the mock dieta- torship which this blase comedian as-
 sumes in the little republic. Reports aecredit him with the greatest success since the Man from Mexico It will
 be presented at the Hyperion to-mor-
 row and Friday nights. Seat sale now
