MR. DAILY ANNOUNCES HIS NEW PLAY.

Augustin DAILY announced officially yesterday that
The UndercuIrent" is the name he has decided upon
for the new melodrama be intends producing at
Niblos November IL, as IL deals largely with the
undercurrent Of evil in human nature. The pay how
ever is not altogether new. Mr.. DAILY has taken the
best characters and strongest sensational features
from his two old meodramas, Under The Gaslight"
and q" A Flash of Lightning" and built new story
around them. 1t treats of both high and low life OF
the present day in and about London, and besides
being fun Of action viii have plenty of attractive
scenery the play being divided into four acts and
sixteen scenes
Mr. Daily said yesterday that he wrote the drama
for Mr. Chatterton of the Drury Lane Theatre London,
about ten years ago, but the management of the
theatre changed hands before arrangements could be
completed for the production of the play. and since
then it had lain in his drawer untouched Recent
demands for that class of drama. however, induced
Mr. DAILY TO produce it himself The cast for the en-
gagement at Nibo's, which lasts for six weeks has
been selected with special regard for talent rather
than for prominence in the profession, as MI. DAILY
desires to have his piece well acted.
