Farce comedy will hold the boards at the
night, at S:15, 'McGinty, the Sport" a
musical farce comedy with Joe Flynn in
the title role, will open weeks engage
ment- As its title would indicate, the skit
treats OF the adventures of a comic Celt
named McGinty. 1t is in three acts. The
author has made no pretense of constructing
a plot but has provided sufficient oppor-
tunities to permit the introduction of spright-
ly vaudeville features.
McGinty is, of course, the central figure of
the comedy, and the bIunders he commits,
the mistakes he makes and the many COM
plications which arise between him and the
other characters of the piece are expected
to furnish the laughter. He is, of course.
finally able to eXtricate himself from his
numerous difficulties, pay off old scores, and
provide the usual farce comedy ending to
the play by marrying the soubrette to the
handsome tenor, and otherwise consgning
the beautiful young ladies of his house
noid to the tender mercies of the male char
acteTs Of the piece.
