w. y. Seaman, whose name is the
synonym for all that is bright and
CHEEKY and winning in Irish comedy,
will present his new four-act drama,
"MyleS ArOon," at the Grand opera
house tomorrow evening, and con-
tlnuing throughout the week. In this
play Mr. Seaman has an excellent op-
portunity to display his ability as a
delineatOr of youthful Irish character
and to sing several taking songs of his
OWN composition. You and l, Love-"
Live My Love. oh, Lave" "The
Swing Song" and his always popular
and widely known 'Peek-a-Boo.' -
''Myles Aroon" differs from the con-
ventional Irish drama with which we
are all familiar in that its motive is not
dependent upon politics Or nationality.
Its cue for action is furnished
by the theft Of valuable brace
let, of which crime Myles Aroon
is wrongfully accused, and the major
part of the action is furnished by his
efforts at standardization, which are
eventually successful. Thursday and
Friday evenings the "Irish MINSTREL
will be produced, Mr.. Seaman singing
WHATS in Kiss?" ''My Nellie's Blue
Eyes, ''Over the Mountain" Il Love
Music" and moonlight Old Killarney"
The engagement will close on Saturday
evening with the only performance of
"Shane ia Lawn" the nlusicalnumbers
being Sam Lovers favorite song, THE
Low Back Car" and the following songs
of Mr.. Scanlan's composition: Peggy
OMOre," 1.-The Rose Song" 'sGather

Der, Boy, YOU'RE Irish'' and '.Peek-a-
Boo" Every care and attention will
be given to the proper mounting of
these plays, new and appropriate seen
cry having been provided, and the sup
porting company will be a Strong one.
