Biiou Theatre.

A f~arcical and musical production in
three acts, entitled "McFadden's Row of
Flats" will be presented for the first
time in this city at the Bijou Theatre,
for one week., commencing next Monday
evening, n including the usual NATL
nees. 1t has a well defined plot, which
answers for the bringing forward of
clever specialties, the grouping of pretty
girls, dancing and new songs. It is adj
mitted on the programme that it was
written for laughing purposes only n
that devotees of Shakespeare must not
accept it as a play. The three sketches,
forming as many acts, are written in the
'Chimmie Fadden'' style and give us a
glimpse of life around the Fiv Points of
New York City. Briefly, it is this: There
are two rival candidates for Aldermanic
honors, a Dutchman and an Irishman.
There is the Queen of the Flats, in the
person of a widow, with a grown up
daughter, and a score or more of char
acters which Mr.. Townsend has made IA
miliar in his writings and which "a

found representation on the stage for a
year or more past. The fun is fast n
furious throughout. People laugh and
laugh again at the funny goings-on in the
street at Five Points, at the absurd do
ings at the Masquerade Ball in Tam
many Hall, and at the strange events
that occur in a store which is equally di-
vided between the wig and the drug BUSH
ness, and at the funny boxing by the two
original funny Yellow Kids, Alex. and
George. Joe J. Sullivan gives a comical
representation of an ambitious Irishman,
and Harry Crandall poses as his German
rival They both do clever specialties, as
indeed does every member of the COM
pany of twenty-five or more named on
the programme. Good grotesque and
fancy dancing is introduced by Miss Es-
telle Wellington and Mr.. Morgan. and is
one of the best numbers on the bill; but
still there are others, notably the musi-
cal eccentricities of the Moss family of
five persons, Miss Carrie Weber. a Ger
man street brass band, a c~alisthenic
chorus and dance by a dozen pretty
girls in fetching costumes. AS a laugh
producer, ssMcFadden's Row of Flats is
certainly all hat it claims to be, if we
are to believe the press notices from
other cities.
