McNally's very funny farce, "A Coun-
try Sport" with the very popular
comedian, Peter F. Daley, as the shiE
ing star of the company, will be given
Mr.. Dailey's name carries with 1t the
promise of good time and the fame
he achieved by his first starring tour,
inaugurated about a year ago, occa-
stoned little surprise to the many VINO
have observed his rapid rise in the
realm of comedy. His eXuberance
never deserts him and in "a Country
Sport" he has found a vehicle for the
display of his effervescence which
would probably suit no other actor, but
which in the hands of Daley at once
becomes a comedy gem. The superb
supporting company includes jolly May
Irwin, funny John Sparks, captivating
Andrew Mack and irresistible Ada
Lewis. There are also in the cast such
well knowr names as Harry II. Morse,
Maud Harris, Marie Miller, ]. F. Gala
han and Freda Depew, in addition to
the large collection Of dancers and
singers employed in the principal
scenes of the play.
The great spectacular play of Fan
tasma," which drew such large audi
ences here before, will again be pro-
duced at the Academy of Music next
Monday and Tuesday evenings. Since
last here the play has, however, been
completely changed and remodeled, so
that it is now called the New Fantas-
ma" The old spectacle was the grand
est ever produced here, and it is now
even more gorgeous. Not only is the
ingenuity manifested little short of
he,
groupings are of the highest order of
stage art; and, from what is said by
the press of the metropolitan cities, 1t
is probable that the New Fantasma," !"
as it stands, is one of the cleverest and
greatest productions that America has
ever seen.

sway. The fact that this play has had
the endorsement of a run at the New
York Park theater may be safely taken
as a guarantee that in selecting "A
Night at the Circus" for the amuse-
ment of his patrons, Manager Burgun-
der has made no mistake. The play
is a farce-comedy, but 1t is a decided
advance on the ordinary run of that
class of plays. Miss Nellie McHenry
