Gets a Leading Engagement on Broadway

WITH MRS. FISKE'S CO.

His Fine Work in Hon. John Grigsby on Broadway Last Year Secures Him a Good Position

Frank J. Mclntyre, of this city, has scored another big hit in his chosen profession as an actor. Mr. McIntyre has signed at a good salary to appear in Mrs. Fiske's elaborate production of George C. Hazleton's new colonial comedy, "Captain Molly." Mrs. Fiske is one of the best known stars among American actresses. Mr. McIntyre will play one of the leading comedy parts and has received a call to report for rehearsal at the Manhattan theatre in New York city at 11 o'clock on Monday. He leaves for New York tomorrow evening. The first production of the new play will open at the Manhattan theatre on Broadway, in New York, September 1, and the play will continue on the boards there for at least eight weeks. There are sixty people in the cast, which is picked from well known New York actors. Many conscientious actors play for years before playing on Broadway, which is always looked forward to by the ambitious in the profession. This is Mr. McIntyre's second year as an actor. Last year he was with Frank Keenan in the Hon. John Grigsby and, during the latter part of the year, played with this company on Broadway. The New York manager witnessed the production of the play before the company appeared in New York and Mr. McIntyre was one of the three members of the cast selected to play in New York out of a total of eighteen. Mr. McIntyre appeared in the Hon. John Grigsby in this city early in his career. Later the editor of this paper saw him play his part in New York city and the improvement he had made was remarkable. Whenever he appeared on the stage the crowded house broke into smiles. It was his good work in this play, which had a long run, which secured him his new position to play one of the leading comedy parts in the Manhattan theatre the coming year. Ann Arbor congratulates Mr. McIntyre on his bound into quick success, and a position which usually takes years of work to obtain. The Argus regards him as a graduate of this paper as, before becoming an actor a year ago, Mr. McIntyre was a reporter upon the Argus. May good luck continue to go with him.
