The new Irish comedy drama IAN Irish

talented company at the Grand this evening,
opening four nights en- gagement, and aS

tice. From an eastern exchange we learn
that the piece is a thorough Irish drama of
the old style, but with the exception that the
comedy element is never lost sight of, and de-
spite the fact that the eviction and subse-
Quent results form main part of the play,
the happy result of justice at last, achieved
through the eXertiOn of the clever comedians,
makes happy denOuement. The company is a
strong one, possessing, as 1t does. some strong
specially artists, who do much toward Great
ing it the big success that it is. Manager
Miner is to be congratulated on being the first
to produce an Irish play this season, and our
readers from, and related to the Emerald isle,
ought to prove by their presence that they
appreciate the enterprise displayed by the
gentleman in thus catering to their especial
benefit. AS there is no attraction at the 9TH
er theater this evening, Sunday evening
amusement seekers will find entertainment
at the Grand this evening at popular prices.
The present reign of farcocomedy in this
country is u source of much serious discuss
ion among the thoughtful workers and writer's
in the dramatic vineyard 1T has become
topic of literary consideration by MesSrs w.

Wilson Barrett who, although not an Amer
lean, takes lively interest in the welfare of
the drama of every cline, and those who
watch the history of our stage are consider

edy will last. Certain it is that it has
secured most importsnt position
in the amussments of the nation.
Nearly every New York theater at this pres
ent moments is given over to mirth, farce and
frivolty. The same condition of affairs OBJ
tains in nearly every other city in America
The truth of the matter is the American
public has outgrown its taste for the legiti-
mate plays and the serious dramas. Our
| people are quiclx-wittcd and fun-lOying, and
| they want to laugh, They will not go to the
| theater to be instructed, or to listen to
| Shakespeare, or to witness play dealing
with the serious side of humanity. But they
will go to laugh. The probability is,
| at any length, that we will
always have the farcical plays
| with us. We may not have so many in the
future as we have now, and the style of en-
| tcrtainment may change somewhat, bec0mip g
| more distinctivey American than at the
! present time, but it is safe to say we will al
! ways have these wide-awake farces IN our
| theaters. Indeed, one or two of the present
farce comedies are really worthy to live.
| Frank Daniels Little Puck" for instance,
| which comes to Boyd's on Thursday night,
| is genuinely, closely constructed piece.
| Founded on Ansleys fantastic tale,
| it tells laugLable story in the
| most strai aightforward and ludicrous manner,
| Unlike most all the prevalent farce comedies,
Little Puck" has "A plot. And a very good
| plot it is. TO he sure, its success must be
most largely attributed to the fact that it has
had the benefit Of Mr.. Daniels droll and orig
| inal personality, but aside from all this,
! Little Puck' is good skit
| Mr. Daniels will remain at Boyd's for -four
| nights but there will be no Saturday matt
nee The company is but little changed from
| last season,
The Rose Hill English Folly company, Q
! highly successful burlesque organization
will give two entertainments at the Grand on
| Thursday and Friday evenings next. The
company includes beauties from all parts ot
the globe.
| Low Johnson's minstrels will be at tht
Grand on Saturday and Sunday evenings
