This house will open for the regular season

| first week in October. The favorites Of last
season, such as Messr5. Wa1lack, Gilbert,
Montague, and Beckett. will appear in some of
their old roles, and in several new ones as well.
| Mr.. Wallack has an abundance OF new material
| in readiness for production, including "C]an-
| carty," by Tom Taylor and Steele A1ckaye;
"A1 for Her." By Herman N1crrivale and
the finest play ever writtcn'' aud, last but not
| least Arthur aIatthison's EsTLe Great Divorce
| Casc, :" an adaptation from the French, which
| is having remarkable run at the Criterion
in London. During the season The
shaughraun will be revived, with
very nearly its original cast, including mr. Mon
tague as Capt. !Htlyseur. It is probable that
the opening piece will be tsThe Great Divorce
Casc,'' and if not, the season may begin with
"The shaughraun.' AR. Boucieault and Mr..

next month.

II. Nus, the author OF the original Of 1.-THE
Ticket Of Leave Man." This play has been
specially arranged with view to assigning the
leading part to Miss Clara Morris, whose fast

great success, ''Ies Danichcff.'' in the recon-
struction OF which he was aided by Alexandra
Dumas fills, to whom he is related by marriage.
