Shaw, who pre- sented “Under Two Flags” for the benefit of the Firemen on New Yea r’s Night, to provide a musical and dra- matic entertainment on the. evening of the. 24th of May, in the Agricultural liall, under the auspices of the Rich- mond Hill & Yonge Street Agricul- tural Society. The program will con- clude such altists as Miss May Ma- whinney, the popular soprano: Mr. J. ‘ Murphy, bass soloist; Mr. \Vill Yule, ‘humorist; and Mr. H. N. Shaw, in reeitations and dramatic sketches. The entertainment will conclude with a three act. comedy entitled “An Arabian Night,” splendidly costumed and with appropriate scenery. This is one of the funniest comedies ever written, and was presented with great success at Daly’s theatre in New York and the Strand theatre, London. At both places the success was so great that the play enjoyed one. of the longest runs of any of the modern comedies. The story of the play is that of a man who is blessed with a suspicious and inquiring mother-in- law. In his endeavors to deceive her he becomes involved in all sorts of (lifii<:ulties and absurd complications, from which he is finally extricated, and all ends happily. Those who en- joya hearty laugh will find this an excellent opportunity of indulging in a continuous one. Mr. Shaw will play the part, of Arthur Hummingtop, a. part which he has played many times with great success. Those who sup- iiort. him in the play are Misses Louise ’roctor, Marie Geldart.
