The famous old Irish drama, Kath-
leen Mavourneen, was played to
crowded house at the Eddy Opera
house Thursday night with Miss Jen-
ME James as Kathleen and Mr. VIII
II. Locke as Torrance The part Of
Kathleen could not be improved by an
amateur ard In fact by few profession
ais. Miss James has talent as an
emotional actress. Her work IN the
second act, whom the least error would
cause the whole 10 fall Hat, was ex'
ceptionally good, as was also the acting
IN the Black Crag scene. Miss james
n especially favored In being able TO
assume the natural Irish character on
account Of a very good Irish dialect,
seemingly more natural than acquired.
Mir. Locke also used good broad
brogue evidently only acquired by
years among the Irish people. His
acting az through sustained his well
earned reputation, especially In his
singing and hervy work while IN irohs
In the prison or farewell sceno. AS

dialect of the actors in.these parts the
better. especially Red Barney and
Darby Doyle by Gus Stegman and Joe
La Nee, both of whom were good with
thatj exception. Miss Arba Allison
and Mr Will Nisbet as Kitty and
Capt Clearheld were we'll adapted 10
their parts and did the work with

excellent Bernard Cavanagh, belngt
