ParIx-"A boy Wanted."

Among the more popular attractions at
the Park Blaney's "A Boy Wanted" loomed
up prominently, as ii did last season. The
impression of year ago has evidently
not worn away, for the Park was crowded
yesterday, both afternoon and evening,
when this lively farce-comedy opened its
brief engagement. The company this year
is possibly a little better than that of last
season and the piece is put through with
plenty of dash. There is always something
going on and, as in all of Blaneys plays,
the audience is kept we'll entertained 1t is
not worth while to dwell on the thread of a
plot which runs through the three acts. 1t

of fun in the comedy for everybody and "A

Our Disreputable Ancestor Launched
LOUISVILLE. KY. Dec. 13-"Our Disrep-
utable Ancestor" farcical comedy in three
acts. by Edmund Day, was produced here
tonight, for the first time on any stage
by the Meffert Stock Company, and made
a pronounced hit. The play is built on
rovel lines, and deals with the shade of
New Amsterdam Dutchman who died three
hundred years before the opening of the
play and who has been robbed of his
haunts by the tearing down of the old fam
lily mansion. He hunts up his descendants
and comes to live with them, being visible
only to the oldest member of the family in
the direct line of descent. In the second
act however, arrayed in modern clothes,
he is seen by all. AS he is an exact counter
part of Frank, the eldest boy he is mis-
taken for him, and the complications that
ensue are very funny.
