St. Bridget's.

The members of ST. Bridget's Lyceum
are jubilant over the outlook for the pro-
duction of the beautiful and historical
Irish drama, ~.Inschavogue, or the Hero
of 1885, which will be produced in the
Parish Hall, No. 1877 Mercer street, April
8, A and 5, with a special matinee for
children Easter Monday at three T. M.
The tickets for this play have been in
circulation for the past week and judging
by the demand the large hall will be
packed to overlooking each evening.
Monday evening, April 3, has been desig-
mated club night" as a number of So
cieties of this and neighboring counties
have signified their willingness to attend
on this evening. The friends of the mem
bers will also do well to attend on this
evening as special features will be intro
duced for this evening only.
A number Of sentimental and patriotic
Irish songs will be suns at each per-
Torrance by Mr.. VIM. H. Mulroy, who is
to play the part of I~nschavogue. and Mr..
Charles Roden, who is to play the part
of Terry, the funny Irishman. The four
acts of this drama are laid in Ireland
during the rebellion of 1898, and the
patriotic aspect of this piece affords OPP
portunity for the Introduction of special
scenery and costumes which have been
specially prepared for this play.
The bridge scene in the fourth act is a
piece of stage realism such as never was
attempted on any stage in Jersey City,
either in professional or amateur plays.
1t is in this scene the villain attempts
to kill ''Inschavogue," the captain of the
Peep-o-Day Boys by blowing up the
bridge, but by a misunderstanding of
signals by his emrnesaries he, himself,
meets the death he had arranged for the
hero.
The members of the cast are among the
best hat could be selected. The young
ladies' who are taking part have shown
during rehearsa1s that they will make a
decided hit in their characters, and the
committee in charge are deserving of
praise in assigning the parts, to which
each of the characters have proven them
selves peculiarly adapted. All have been
under instruction of a special tutor for
the past six weeks and have now assumed
the name of professionals and are con-
fident of producing this beautiful Irish
drama in a way such as professionals
only could do.
