DENNY DOOM
This evening, at Portland Theatre, Mr.. Hugh
Fay and company will play "Denny Doom" the
new Irish drama by Mr.. Walter Reynolds. The
Boston Herald thus speaks of recent perform
ance:
"Denny Doom" telling story of varied inter
est, is made effective with an audience not only by
much pointed dialogue, but by several decidedly
telling scenes. Perhaps the most successful
last night, was the ingeniously wrought-oui
masked raiders had placed around the old farm
er's neck is transferred to the throat OF Critcl
RhIla, the process server who dangled and
danced in mid air. as the curtain fell, to the in
tense delight of those at the Howard The fire
scene was also well managed If Mr.. Walter
Reynolds has given nothing particularly original
in the character drawing of Denny DOOM" he
has used with good deal of skill the material
which he found at hand, and the popular recep-
ton given to the play last night seemed unmis-
takably favorable Mr.. Hugh Fay acts the lead
ing role with alertneSs and spirit, speaking his
lines with excellent appreciation, and may be
credited with making favorable impression in a
part very different from those in which he has
won his reputation. OF the support, Mr.. William
McCrady as the old landlord Mr.. Harry HARDWOOD
as the process server, Lillian Richardson as Coma,
Henrietta Crosman as Constance, Rose Osborn as
Rose Rubb, and Mamie Doud as Judy, merit
special mention"
