THE HYPERION.

From story by Gabriel Dregley called 'The We'll Fitting Dress Coat the late Harry James Smith wrote for Cohen and Harris the eminently suc- cessful play, "A Tailor Made Man." which is the selection for the coming week at the Hyperion. More than any play brought out in recent years Mr. Smith made "A Tailor Made Man" truly and emphatically American. It breathes the American spirit; it exha1es the American atmosphere in the busi- ness office, in the circumstances that bring young John Paul Bart his oppor- tunity to woo destiny and his star of success. Its characters are types clev- erly drawn that show the uprooting in- f1uence of American "pep" on old world ideals of woman's dependence and mans limitations. It has a philosophy shrewd, stimulating and energizing. To be sure John Paul Bart borrowsl all his efficiency ideas from Dr. Sontag, a stu dent of advanced ideas who visits the tailor shop of Anton Huber where we first find John Paul Bart, the hero. In the shop is found Dr. Sontag busy on his book of sociology longing for his native land where the man who owns his own shop is the boss; here is his daughter speedily becoming American d last but most important John Paul Bart with destiny lowering near. John Paups excursion into society and his enormous success in cutting across des- tiny at the expense of the high brows IS real delight. As the Napoleon of the business fortunes of Abraham Nathan he is a model of diplomacy and sagacity and facing his Waterloo in the past chapter of the story adds new turn that holds interest throughout. "A Tailor Made Man" calls for one of the largest casts of the season and with George Dill in the leading role and Laura Arnold as his co-star together with the mighty fine support including Edith Potter, Robert Laurence, Shirley Booth, Eric Dressler, Tommy Shearer and Grayce Fox one is certainly assured of mighty fine performance ably di- rected by George Farren and with scenic embellishments by Maurice Tut tie
 Seats for all presentations of "A Tailor Made Man" are now available at the box office of the theatre and it is further announced that the subscription list, the biggest already in years, will remain open for subscribers for just one more week. Having the same seat each week has become not custom but habit with hundreds of drama patrons
 This Sunday night the fall and win ter season of cinema concerts at the Hyperion will be officially inaugurated with even more enjoyable features plan ned for than last season. It is unde- niable that the favorite screen star last season with Sunday night Hyperion patrons was Harry Carey and Manager Menges has had his newest release held in reserve. Carey will be seen on the opening program in. Blue Streak Mccoy" the story of man who deems himself unworthy of great love and who tries to condone his past by service and self-sacrifce; of two listed man who disguises his feelings that he may bring happiness to pal The second big feature will present the adorable Carmel Myers in "In Follys Trail" the story of gay butterfly in New York's Bohemia who learns that she has heart when she meets the right man; of a love that is stronger than reason and of the mental upheaval which follows the clash of opposite temperaments. In lighter vein will be rollicl<ing two reel comedy never before shown in this city and also the right to the minute Uni versal News Weekly as well as other features with superb music by an aug mented orchestra and the pleasing policy of reserving orchestra seats in advance in vogue again this season.
