Miss Lille Laurel Bridget Mulhearn. ............M Miss Polie Holmes Mr. Fay, formerly of the well known combination of Barry and Fay, presented his new piece, "Old Chums," before fair sized house last evening. It is one of the characteristic Irish dramas, with perhaps more wit and funnier situations than are
 usually found in this class of plays. The interest, however, csnters around MT. Fay himself. There are few come dians on the stage that have an apter talent at portray ing in 8 delicate and refined manner the Irish country gentleman. His characterization is always eminently the gentleman. He Is never rude nor bolster ous and introduces a certain gentlemanlt- pal charms of his acting. Patrick McCsf- frey is one of the old school, one of those men that lived in Ireland years ago in the emerald days. The characters of Michael Doolin and Con AcSwiggan were finely handled by Thomas Flynn and Steve Mnley. Miss Pollie Holmes, as Bridget Aulhearn, was the popular female charac- ter. Bridget goes through countless trials and tribulations. There is no special in- tersst which is attached to her role except invetersts and unswerving hatred of the william, who tries to destroy her happi- ness.
 Looking at the piece as @ whole itis 8 drama that will we'll repay one's attention. As 6 character study of Irish life 1t excels. The specialties that were introduced amused the audience.

An evenly balanced specially bill Is presentei. Master Eddie Abbott, the boy magician, is . wonder in his line and his feats of deception are 50 eleverly performed as to cause the greatest smszsment. Harry Budwnrth, the famous comedian, is . strong card and his eocen. tricities kept the audience in . good hu- nor. The efforts of Miss Mabel Narbis re. l csivsd the most hearty applause, and che | is certainly tha most remarkable vocalist | seen hero outside of grand opera.
