VARIETIES" Arrah. ma -Pogue " received last
evening, in its reproduction, renewed interest
in the appearance of Miss Josie Orton as AT-rdh
Meelish the heroine. The passionate emotions of
the waTmbea Irish peasant girl, her love, her
hope. her despair, her final rejoicing, were all in
turn vividly portrayed by Miss OrtoD, whose only
fault. if We may crticse, was that of occasionally
allowing those emotions TO carry her momentarily
into an apparent fOrgetfulness of the character
and its distinctive accents. Mr.. FlOyds Shaun
The Post was-it may be that years interval
gives IL o fresh charm-better than ever, even an
Improvement, we think, over his previous imper-
souatioDs of that character. The tenderness of
the lover and the intrepid courage of the man
were in it blended as the light ana darker
shadows in picture. Miss Freeman as Fanny
P0tCer was not, we thought, quite as vvacious
aud sprightly as is her wont or as the character
requires. Vining Bowers gives Michael Feeny
less stoop in the shoulders than most actors who
play the character, but brings out in the strong
est light the downright cringing meanness Of the
" informer and process sarver." The scenery was
as we had anticipated. superb, especially in the
first and third acts, and elected deserved ap.
plause from the quite numerous audience. The
play will be repeated tins evening. and will, with
its present cast, be found we'll worth seeing.

out OF eight this incoDgruity, and 1t might easily
be remeded. there is to be found ample ground
for commendatQn of the piece, especially Miss
Prices acting as Helen RolestOn, q character the
interest of which she keeps up unremittingy TO
