"Shamus O'Brien" at Harris's.
Charles Erin Werner comes to Harris's Bijou
Theatre next week in his popular Irish crea-
tion of "Shamus O'Brien." Since its visit to
our city last season the play has been entirely
revised and rewritten, making It brighter and
more interesting. Mr.. Verner's part has been
strengthened by the introduction of several
strong scenes and bits of comedy sparkling
with characteristic Irish wit. Handsome seem
cry, painted from photographs taken in Galway,
has also been added, thus enhancing the inter.
est of what is really an Irish play of more than
ordinary merit. The actor-author has been
very successful in giving life to the famous old
poem, and the wild escapades of the "bould
boy Of Glingall'' are retold In a clever manner.
The company is, If anything, stronger than it
was last season. Handsome Katherine Walsh
still plays the comely Irish lady, whose rebel
speeches find an echo in the heart of every audi
tor. William Cahill is still greeted with storms
of misses as the vilanous tShddrdch OFinn,
and the melodious screech of William Muir
phys bagpipes sets the time to which the heels
of the gallery gods are prone to keep pace.
