McDanlels' New Theatre.

1t is a rare circumstance when a
theatrical manager without COMPETE
ton does not allow his business to fall
into a dull routine of sameness, but we
find in Mac, a proprietor whose enter
prising genius prompts him that there
is nothing so good that it is not sus-
ceptible of improvement. Each sue
ceeding performance is marked with
the feature of progress, and what with a
spirit of genuine go-ahead-ativeness
and a lavish outlay of money, the time
will soon come that marks the date of
the prominence of McDaniels above
the showmen of the country.
