been impossible except for the intelli-
gent and interchangeable work of the
stage manager and general director,
John +. Burke, himself gentleman of
locally established bistriOnic reputa-
ton. The role of Kathleen was carried
well and consistently by Mrs. j. s..
O'Brien, from whose first appearance
as the simple peasant till the close of
the dream action running through sub
sequent acts, the audience was charmed
by her grace of manner and fOrcibIe
acting. Especially in the crag scene,
where occurs her attempted murder by
Rody and the rescue by Terence, was
her work In the highest degree
credltable, and the same may be
said of Mr.. Goodman as Ter
Black Rody. Mr.. Goodman, had much
to do throughout the drama and ac-
quilted himself with characteristic
credit. In his reading he has greatly
corrected certain defects that were ap-
s parent in his former appearances. An
other most admirable piece of work was
the Kavanaugh of Robert j. WEIGH,
who knows how to do the polished
villain with ease and grace. John.
O'ShaughnessT' Jr., sustained two
characters in way that commends him
as discriminating and painstaking
actor. The minor parts were all in good
hands, and the performance as a whole
eminently satisfactory. A feature of
the performance was the singing of
Kathleen as she fails asleep, and her
Interpolation of "Wearin' o. the
Green;'' also the song moonlight Will
Come Again." given between the third
and fourth acts, by Messrs. Wingand,
Ballentine, and Misses Walsh and Mac
key.
