mense audience at this theater last evening
and scored marked success. In the past
few years Mr.. Mccarthy has been seen in

great success. This new play, 1.-THE
Pride of Mayo" seems likely to be fully
instant popular favor last evening. It has
striking situations, wit and humor and fine
scenes, and 1t appeals to the heart through
out.

help the heroine ont of trouble and the
part is taken to perfection by Mr.. McCar-
thy. Nolle MCGUIRE, who Is Dicks
sweetheart, sticks by Lady May through
all her trouble and Ia rewarded by marry
ing Dick. This role is finely unprecedented
by Miss Grace Sherwood. Lizzie Saun-
dsrs, as Mrs: Conlon, IL the beautiful,
trustful and loving wife that she should
be. She plays the role with q great deal
of esrnestness. Viola Armstrong as Sis
ter Agnes II also decidedly good. Harry
Hinnick as Felix Driscoll has the unpop-
ulsr part, but plays 1t well. The other
members Of the company are up to high
standard of excellence. The play will be

volt Of the prisoners in the Siberian mines.
