"M'CARTHY's MIsHAPs."
A Great Laugh-Raiser in Compe-
tent Hands.

For the current week, beginning with
tonight, the attraction at the Grand
will be "McCarthy's Mishaps," play
of that hilarious description known as
uprOariouS farce comedy-skit. There
is no great semblance of plot OF story in
the play, but it is just series of highly
absurd and extremely amusing scenes
and situations that evoke unbounded
merriment, and create the very best of
humor in an audience. The central figure
of the play is Dennis Mccarthy, and in
the portrayal of this character Barney
Ferguson has made creation that is
wholly his own. No one of the many
Irish comedians before the public today
has met with greater success than Bar
ney Ferguson and. IN addition to Mr..
Ferguson himself, his talented daughter,
Marguerite, will also be seen; she is
probably one Of the most accomplished
dancers, for her age, now before the
public, executing the most difficult steps
with an ease and grace that is phenom-
email, and she has been pronounced by
the press throughout the country as little
shortof a wonder. The acting company
presenting "McCarthy'S Mishaps" this
season Is all new outside of the Fergu-
sons, and the play itself has been
frightened up by a number Of new
songs, dances and clever specialties that
90 a great ways to make it additionally
attractive.

KEENE AS ORCHARD"
Tie Great Tragedian Comes This
Week.

Thursday evening next Mr.. Keene,
the eminent tragedlan, will begin
three nights engagement of the legiti-
mate drama at the Metropolitan theater.
opening with his sumptuous production
of Richard Ill. The retirement of Booth
and the death of Lawrence Barrett
leave Keene practically alone in the
dignifed field to which he has always
confined his efforts. The character of
Richard has always been Mr.. Keene's
faVorite one, and is the one in which the
public best like to see him. The story
is given us by Shakespeare. and is IA
miIiar to almost every school boy
through the medium of the stage. The
play was written about 800 years ago
and was entered at Stationers' hall by
Andrew Wise, under the title Of 1.-The
Life and Death of King Richard the
Third" With it went an explanation
that the manuscript covered "his most
outrageous murder of his innocent
nephew and other acts of his despiSed
lite and his most deserved DEATH" The
tragedy covers the most active part of
Richards life, and the character re-
