MRS. LESLIE CARTER AT THE HY-
 PERION.

Mrs Leslie Carter in "Du Barry" charmed very large audience at the Hyperion last night by her grace and remarkable acting. The play deals with 8 beautiful milliner, who is the favorite of the king and a. great power in France. She still cared for her lover, who was found in her room, fleeing from the soldiers who were pursuing him. She protects him until she is fore ed to tell of his whereabouts. The Rev. olutiog came and this lover is compelled to arrest her. She goes to the gull lotine The scenery was of great beau ty. The beautiful royal palace was rep resented, and parts of La Belle Paris. The cast was very large and most cap
 able. Chas. A. Stevenson as the king, was royal in appearance and bearing. There were courtiers in their brilliant costumes, the canaille, attendants, dancers for the fetes and many others, making an exceedingly large company
 However, the whole interest centered in Mrs. Garter. The best indication of her greatness was in the change from pas sion in the palace scenes to her pathetic patience during the Revolution, when she waited for her lover. The play will be repeated this afternoon and evening.
