revelation of the energy of motion. This

ST. PAUL's CLUBS DRAMA.

Eileen Oge" was repeated last night
by the amateur actors of St. Paui's
Catholic Club. The crush was Just as
great as on the previous night. Some
who came late could not gain an en-
trance and went away again. There was
spare standing room to be had At this
rate it seems as if it would be necessary
to continue the play for the balance of
the week.
The players acted better than ever last
evening. The last traces of roughness
had disappeared, and everything moved
smoothly. The comedy work of Miss
Anna NJ. Koran and George B. Riley
was well appreciated by the generous
audience. Harry Watsh's yillainous
deeds were roundly Kissed by them
through the greater part of our acts.
Everything was rosy, however, when the
hero received his five minutes of recon
citation and summary disposal of his
enemies at the end of the last act.
Between the acts the waits were en-
livened by solos by Miss Ida Kern and
duets by Misses Katet Welsh and Annie
Reardon. Frederick Finn played some
charming solos on the violin, accom-
panied on the piano by his brother Frank.
The entertainment will be repeated to-
morrow evening.
