AFTER the Ball."

Comedian Dan Daily has many new
novelties to offer in the production of his
funny play, .'After the Ball. which is
to be seen at the Opera house, next Mon
day evening. Mr.. Daily is one of the best
singing and dancing comedians before
the public today, and this being his
first appearance here for several years
should prove for him most successful
engagement. AFTER the Ball. is said
to be very funny play, and in the part
of Paul Gibbs, young high roller about
town, Mr.. Daily is reported to have made
the hit of his life. His company is a very
strong one and includes some of the best
people in the theatrical profession. He
is an old favorite here, and will surely
draw big house.
