 Engagement.

 The news of Miss Tanguay's visit has been much heralded during the past week on every side the news of her coming being flashed. Miss Tansuay comes direct from triumphant engage ment in New York city where she was on the same bill with the English com edienne, Vesta Victoria, and came out with the first honors of the contest for the popular comedienne.
 Miss Tanguay will appear twice daily at Polls presenting the newest song hits, including the popular one, Il Don't Care, and Success" Miss Tanguay has made an enormous hit with these.two offerings and she has been styled the Whirlwind and cy- clonic comedienne owing to the fact that she is never idle a moment while holding the stage.

Fougere. the garding the right of one to initiate the other has filled the columns of the New York papers the past week.

 Cameron and Flanagan, with their comedy "On and Of" are sure to be the kind that rouse vaudeville audi ence to their best. They have a repu- tation as the best entertainers. Manuel Romanie, formerly with Dockstader's minstrels, with the aid of the Foley Bros, and the Palmer sis ters, will offer a musical offering entitl- ed. Down Music Row" The scenes of this are laid in New York city and three will be shown. Lively songs and plenty of the entertainment of the right kind will be given. .-.

In Local TheaterS
HYPERION.
Ethel Barrymore in "Her Sister" To-
 morrow Night.

hhpiip' -''E>'hN'
 Ethel Barrymore, whose engagements here are the pleasantest memories of a season, is now underlined to appear at the Hyperion theater, tomorrow (Tuesday) evening.
 She comes, as usual, under the man agement of Charles Frohman, and will be presented in a new play called Her Sister, which was expressly written in collaboration for her by Clyde Fitch and Cosmo Gordon LennoX.
 Of all MT Frohman's stellar posses sions Miss Barrymore ranks among the highest and therefore commands much of his personal attention in the matter of a new play for her each season. It has so happened that she has scored signally with almost every play that has been provided for her. It was her spirited performance in Captain Jinks,'' her first piece, that made her star when least expected and retained that comedy in her repertoire for re- peated rivals ever since. Succeeding in getting her personality before the foot lights has made her what she is-a le gitimate star of the first magnitude. She inherited her excellent star quail ties from her distinguished ancestry. Being 'joyously stage struck as she termed it, accounts for the unfailing enthusiasm of her acting. She has re- veled in successes, new and old since her stardom began. and her revivals have been wholly by popular request. !, Ethel Barrymore has yet to encoun- ter dramatist who has written her a. play impossible of intelligent interpre tation at her hands, for she ever aims to be natural in her acting. Her win soneness is the chief factor in all she does, and she is a finished actress be- sides and agreeable in all she under takes. The one respect in which she shines so charmingly, is that she Is so lovable, so wholesomely and humanly 1 lovabe.
 The Fitch-Lennox comedy, Her Sis ter" is the first collaboration of mod ern play by two authors of different na- tionalities, ever undertaken in this | country, NIT, fllCn representing Altlel ' ica and NIT. Lennox, England. The latter Is not stranger to the Ameri- can stage, however, as will be in- stanced by his play, The Marriage of Kitty" which was, two or three sea sons ago, presented on this side of the Atlantic by MT. Frohman, with the au- thor's wife, Marie Tempest, as the star. Mir. Fitch's own successes are legion.
 Miss Barrymore's supporting cast in- cludes Arthur Byron, as leading man; Desmond Kelley, Lumsden Hare, Charles Hammond, Rockcliffe Fellowes, Fanny Addison Pitt, Lucille Watson, Anita Rothe and Louise Drew. Of the number, Miss Drew may be mentioned I aside, because of her relationship to the star through her distinguished father, John Drew, whose sister, the late Georgiana Drew, was Miss Barry more's mother.
 As is his practice, Mir Fitch staged | this new play.
