 Tho Pat Rooney Comedy company will ! present ''Lord Rooney" at the Grand opera house the last three days of this weak, with mstinees Friday and Saturday. Of the lat est farce comedy, "Lord Rooney" . we'll known critic says: 'It is . sparkling, fz- zing triumph from end to end. The ar- rsngement is daring, noisy, slap -da sh and | trivial, but 1t is fashioned with tlelicacy of artistry that you must not allow to es- | cape you when you go to see it. It not | only makes you roar with laughter, but in | spite of its apparent huffiness it is lighted ! by the real sunshine of nature. It iA fierce,
 broad, rattltng and reckless, but not for an instant is it theatrical and proftless. It contains not only literary value, but 1t
 comes eloss to sentiment that appeals to the heart"
