The drama, "Eileen Oge" was produced
last evening at Temperance Hall under
the most favorable circumstances, and
the Ladies' of the Auxiliary Society ought
TO feel extremely happy that their efforts
and the work of the young amateurs met
with such warm reception from the large
audience present. The drama was one
that appealed directly to the finer sensi-
bilities of ones nature and brought out In
bold relief the rollicking and fun loving
disposition of the Irish character; not
alone that, but 1t displayed also the true
intensity and the faithfulness Of the Irish
lovers. Throughout the whols perfor-
nance the audience was captivated by the
clever acting OF the young people and one
could hardly convince himself or herself
that 1t was local organization that were
portraying the scenes and incidents OF q
country, whose praises and charms have
been sung In prose and poetry.
The play was staged and given under
the direction OF Thomas A. Brennan, who
assumed the leading role. Too much can
Brennan' as Patrick O'Donnell and Miss
Mamie Parkinson as Eileen Moriarty, both
acting their parts to perfection and leav-
ing little to be desired by the audience.
Patrick Dugan as Mr.. Moriarty was the
Gignified old Irish gentlemen, and Henry
Donahue as LOTUS, the designing villain,
portrayed that part In an able manner.
Miss Mamie Kelley and Miss Kate
Kaveney as Norah O'Donnell and Bridget
Mcclure were up to all the requirements
OF their respective parts.
William Boyle as Rev. Mr.. Mahoney
looked and acted the typical clergyman,
and Messrs. McKenna and O'Gara soon
made themselves favorites with the audi
euce. Messrs. Kelley, McAlevy and Walsh
filed their parts well.
There was not single hitch In the
whole program. The following was the
cast of characters: Patrick O'Donnel,
Thomas A. Brennan; Mr.. Moriarty,
Patrick Dugan; Bryan O'Farrel, James
