This favorite old Irish play produced last even
ing. with Rose and Harry Watkins Id the two prin-
cipal characters There is good deal OF sentiment
In the play, ana the exquistely plaintlve music OF
'Katheen Mavourneen,n which runs like thread
through every scene and act, has a singuary a.
tractive effect Mrs. Watkins, unlike most OF the
women who attempt Irish characters on the stage,
delivers the brogue with Its full and natural navor.
She made oversight, however, at INTER
walls, In returning to style OF elocution
totally foreign TO The IRISH peasant girl. Harry Wat
kins played Terence O'Moore with his usual dash.
and Frank Mordaunt realized fully the charact er or
Colonel Bernard Cayanagh. The murdererS part, "a
sustained by Mr. Hagan, lost none OF its repulsiye
atrocity; and Billy Buttoncap "the awful wilin."

Something like half dozen songs were given bJ

apt TO be Kept osclliatng between laughter and
tears by play like kathleen Mavourneen,n and
no play can be deemed worthless that Is capable OF
producing this effect The drama OF "under Two
Flags" Is In preparation.

OF agility, and his wonderful "spadc dance'' was

sationa kind, fun OF thrilling situations, rocky
preclpices dangerous leaps, bastiles, &c. Mr.. Eddy
seemed to carry the whole piece through on his own
shoulders, receiving very little assistance from the
company. His physique and voice are as strong as
when years ago he held the patrons or the lola

come to a close until nearly midnight. Miss West

passing criticism. This remarkable woman seems
