New Orleans paper says:
'Finnigan's Bali is the backbone of all
fun, the headifht of all bulls and the
cream of all laughter churned into the
Jersey butter of merriment. Ireland is
turned loose, the winds of Fingars cave
are awakened TO the strains of the harp
that once sounded through Tarras halls,
and the 'bog-trotter' becomes the embodi-
ment of life, wit, humor and double back
action jollity. Here was presented the Ca
sey of Caseys, the Mick of Mickies and
the Gallagher of Gallaghers. Mr.. Mack Is
ton of 'Blarney stones and Mr.. Murray
IS whole peatbog full of blossoms of
joy and sunshine. Fred Wilson. as Widow
Gallagher, is truly a hustHng husband
rustler, gifted with a glorious good ma
ture and a huge desire for marriage
ceremony. 1t was left to Fred DeNoe to
personate the only weary walker" In

Eugene Blair will be seen in "A Lady
of Quality Wednesday and Thursday
nights and at Thursdays matinee. The

play. romantic drama, with woman
the central figure, and such a magnifi-

said to the credit of Eugenia Blair that
she, actress that she is, did much last
night to make the pay what it was. Miss
Blair has been seen here before, but her
most ardent admirers could have scarce
