JOHN HARE'S RETURN.
TO BE SEEN FIRST IN THE HOBBY
HORSE"
MORE IRISH Musrc-THE HOLLANDS IN A DOUBLE
BII.I--CHANGEs OF THE WEEK AMONG
THE THEATRES.


The theatre-gocrs OF New-York will have another
opportunity tomorrow night to extend a welcome
TO John Hare. who is accomplishing his second sea-
in this country Mr.. Hare's art Is OF so finished
and refined sort. and so infused with the spirit OF
klndlness and gentlcness and sincerity that his
coming is benefit to the community. and he
should be received with delight. as he doubtless will
be, by all who sdmire such simple and genuine
stage performances as he presents.
Mr. Hares company has been considerably
changed since he last seen here Charles
Groves Is still a member of II. He will be remeni-
bered best for the delightful performance that he
gave OF the uncle from Yorkshire, I'm "A Pair Of
Spectacles." This play will probably be repeated In
the course of Mr. Hare's stay at the Knickerbocker
Theatre. Mr.. Hares son. Gilbert, will also be a
member Of his company. and others will be Fisher
White, Arthur Greenvie. Miss May Harvey Miss
Maud Wellman. Miss Laura McGIlvrey. Fred Kerr,
Frank Gilmore Charles Goold. E. Vivian Reynolds,
Mono Oran. Susie Vaughn and Edith Hewlins
Mr.. Hare Is giving some attention this season to
the Comedies Of T. W. Robertson. with which he
was associated when they produced In Lon-
don. and he will probably play caste" and
School" He has new plays by Sydney Grundy
and Others and he will begin his engagement here
with A. w. Pinero's THE Hobby Horse" Though
this play is not new. 1t has been here be-
fore.
THE Hobby Horse" deals with the hobbies OF
several persons notably Spencer Jermyn and Mrs
Spencer Jermyn. His Is horses. and hers is
orphans. Mrs. Jermyn takes position as COM
panion to- the niece Of a curate. in place Of her

when the pleasant side Of things in Ireland Is to
be brought forward. the material must he sought
IN the Affairs OF individuals. and not in those of
the nation.
That course has been taken in the new work
"Shamus O'Brien." which has been brought from
England and will be disclosed this week The
days that followed the rebellion OF 179S were gloomy
ones for the Irish people. but doubt there were
Irish persons here and there who had cause for
rejoicing. And one OF these was Shamus O'Brien
according to the popular poem Of James Sheridan
lie Fanu. Doubtless Shamus was a descendant of
Brian Boru.
The operetta has been constructed on the lines
OF the poem. far as such a work can follow a
short narrative poem. 1t tells of the pursuit OF
the young patriot by the soldiers OF the treachery
that led to his capture. his trial. and his escape.
The book is by George II. Jessop and the music by
Dr. Charles Villiers Stanford. DR.. Stanford was
born In Dublin. and has given much study to Irish
music. 1t Is said that the music OF the present
work is OF genuine National character The COM
poser Is q professor In the Royal College Of Music
and Cambridge University
