"McCarthy's Mishaps."

hOOdibuy sudpS.
"McCarthy's Mshaps" comes to the
opera house tonight for one performances.
This season the piece has been entirely
rewritten up to date, making it better
and more ludicrous than ever. NC
Carthy's Mishaps" is a fanciful tumble
from the pen of Grattan Donnelly. This
season it is said to be studded with fresh
and sparkling features, picturesque
dances. magnificent choruses and admir-
able vocal numbers. The specialties are
so perfectly blended with the action of
the play that they do not mar the unfold
ing of the story or spoil the dialogue.
The plot of-"McCarthy's Mishaps" Of
fers capital opportunities for comic
treatment
Miss st. George Hussey shines as the
bright particular light in this piece. Her
every appearance is greeted. with hla-
rious applause. Her humor is sponta-
neous. There is no straining for effect,
but ii comes out natural and strong and
carries the audience with it in bursts of
fun and merr,ment. Miss st. George
Hussey, who is starring in the piece, is
billed as Americas representative char
acter Irish coincidence. Her original
conception of the role of Mrs. Mullgan
is one of the big hits of the performance.
Miss Hussey is an artist of conceded abl-
ity, and her work always shows deep
study and a keen appreciation of the
character she portrays. The critics
throughout the country are a unit in
praising her work.
In the support is Emma Italia, bright,
clever girl, who dances exquisitely and
who is exceedingly p,quant, with a sweet
singing voice. Miss Italia shows a versa
tility which captivates her audience.
Blanche Creago' and Virginia Johnston
are also members of the organization.
The girls are not alone pretty but pos
sess good voices and add dash and chic to
the farce which is highly pleasing. The
male contingent includes Hafford and
Mantell, descriptive and character sing
ers; Frank G. Mack, Charles German and
others are in the cast and contribute
largely to the success of its pres entation.

About day. light Saturday morning Helfrich emerged from hiding and slipped into the arms of Deputy Sheriff Cameron. who placed him in jail
 Sheriff Oliver of Mountain Home, Idaho, arrived on Sunday afternoon and will take Helfrich to Idaho to-mor. row.
 The downfall of Helfrich was caused by drink and gambling. He had served one term as deputy assessor and tax collector and proved com- potent and faithful official, and two years ago he was elected to that office.
 Last December when his accounts were audited he was short nearly 5000. He was in Salt Lake City on vacation, and when informed of the matter telcgraphed that he would re- turn and fix up the shortage.
