Thursday, May 2. comes the famous Harrigan company, presenting "rhe Major" Some years ago this humor- ous comedy had big run at the liar rigan Theater Comique The revival last winter also proved to be a great success. There is something so tuneful and witty in the play that it is not unfrequently claimed to be the best of this clever humorist's productions. The types of characters seen on Har- rigan's stage are innumerable. yet withal everyone may be found in the lower stratum of New York life. In all the works of this clever author and actor, he has eliminated everything objectionable, preferring rather to en- able the lowly and depending for his material on the native wit and humor- ous vanities of the uneducated classes,
 The music of "The Major is probably the best Dave Braham ever composed. Sale of seats opens on Monday.
 Roland Reed will appear in 'Trhe Politician" on next week Saturday night.
