The most important theatrical engage
ment of this season occurs next Friday,
February 5, when that eminent coined
ian, Peter +. Daley, makes his appear
ance here with his latest comedy success,
"A Good Thing" by John ]. McNally, the
author of Mr.. Dailey's previous successes.
This season Mr.. Daley has only appeared
in three cities, Boston, Philadelphia and
New York, and has played to crowded
houses. in each place for prolonged en-
gagements. This latest addition to farce
comedy is said to be the happiest piece
on the boards. In fact, the success of the
piece has been phenomenal. Mr. Dailey's
company and appointments are consider
ed the most costly of their class now on
the road, and he brings the entire pro-
duction with the original company and
scenic effect exactly as 1t has appeared
in all of the large cities mentioned.
The idea of "a Good Thing is re-
markedly original and unique. 1t depicts
the many peculiar exploits of an auction
eer, whose assistant MIR. Daley is sup
posed to be. The quick movement of the
piece gives cause for excessive excite
ment and laughter. The scene is shifted
from a females seminary in the first act
to an auction room on the Bowery in the
second act, and introduces many unique
and curious. characters. With the reck-
less abandon of youth Mr.. Daley be-
comes engaged to every member of a fe-
male seminary on the upper Hudson and
afterwards, through a mistake sells the
entire seminary and grounds at auction.
| The complications arising from this free
and easy methods of business are, as
can be imagined, almost endless, and
are of such a nature that gravity is at
a large premium. The company support
ing Mr. Daley numbers twenty-six peo-
pie, and introduces many pretty girls in
beautiful costumes. There is not dull
moment in "a Good Thing" Every in
slant is filled with songs, dances, bril-
or,f apfa nd aIa elf
Everybody who has seen it wishes it may
be pushed into as great success on its
tour of the country as 1t has found in
the large cities. The members of the
company include Misses Flora Irwin,
Edna Elsemere Ollie Evans, Della Sta
cey, Matte Nichols, The Americas COM
edy Quartette, James T. Kelly Charles j.
Stine, VIM. Barry, Jr., and many others.
