IV Jj I 18S MAT IRWIN and her com pany will atay over for an other performance in Omaha, and will play at the Boyd this evening, presenting "S3 Wash ington Square," tha farce comedy that made such a hit with Omaha folks, as well as with all others who have seen It. The engagement has been a decided success, and many who wanted to aee the play were not able to aecure seata for one of tha prior performances. It waa thla fact that decided Mlaa Irwin to remain for the extra date. Wash ington Square" gives the popular come dienne the best chance she has had In a long time for the dlnplay of hr unusual ability as a genial funmaker. As MU tilda, the patient housekeeper, who Is In love with the coachman and hsa to keep track of the whims ef her ambitious mis tress, her equally ambitious aon, and a few others, Miss Irwin is the busy little person during the entire progress of the play. The performance this evening will positively end the atay of the company at the Boyd. "Daddy Long-Legs" returns to tha Brandels theater tomorrow night. Feb ruary 14, for a farewell engagement. Notwithstanding the fact that this ap pealing romantic comedy was offered here for a half week last season, tha performances given were not sufficient to satisfy tha demands of playgoers for seats. Thla fact, coupled with the an nouncement that the play is coming back for the laat time next week, has resulted tn a heavy demand by mail for reaerva tiona, and all indications warrant the prediction that the return engagement of Jean Webster's play will surpass the records of the flrat presentation.
