Mr. Augustin Daly's company will ap?

night In his bright comedy, "A Night Off."
which was successfully produced last rea?
son In New York by Miss Ada Rehan. Mr.
Daly Is, perhaps, the most remarkable
man In the theatrical profession to-day,
In that he owns arid occupies solely with
his own company the most exclusive und
high-price?! theatre in New York, where
nothing but his own plays an?l reproduc?
tions are seen.
Mr. Daly does not confine his seasons
altogether to tho production of plays or
the Shakespearean class, but he has more
than onco presented plays of his own
