Mccarthy G Reynolds Dear Irish Boy"
will hold the boards at the Bijou next week.
This is strong Irish drama, Astounding
in intense scenes and exciting situations.
The humor is of bright, crisp order and
throughout the play there is a comical vein
which is highly pleasing. The leading man.
Gus Reynolds. who assumes the role OF
Mike McClutchy, was for several years
with the late Dion Bouccicault and as an
impersonator of Irish characters he has
few equals. The scenic and mechanical
effects are elaborate and the production is
one that is sure to please the patrons of the
Bijou
Following Dear Irish Boy" comes little
Ullie Akerstrom, and this is what an East
ern paper says of her: There are many
actresses who thrill us. many who com
mand our admiration by physical beauty
and art, but scarcely one who creeps into
our affections unawares and gains a firm
place as Ullie Akerstrom does. She may
indeed truly be styled the winsome little
home favorite.' Miss Akerstrom's coming
to this city promises to be rare event in
local theatrical history.
