FOR ST. AIMS ORPHANAGE
PERFORMANCE AT THEATRE BY
ALL HALLoWS' STUDENTS
Presented Carleton's Irish Play
''More Sinned Against Than Sin
ning'-Fine Entertainment.

The Theatre held a large and repre-
sentative audience last evening to wit
ness the presentation by the students
of All Hallews' college of Cartoons
Irish play, More Sinhed Against than
Shining The entertainment was
given for the benefit of st. Ann S
i,Orphanage, and very appropriately st
Patrick's day was fixed upon, as the
| time for its presentation. In venera-
ton OF St. Patrick and loyalty TO old
Ireland, nearly every person in the
large assemblage wore the green in
some form or other. Many of the
! ladies dresses were largely in that
color, while the gentlemen wore ties
| in which green predominated and small
| green badges and ribbons were the
rule. The color scheme was carried out
even to the programme, which had a
| green cover.
The play was very cleverly present
/ ed by the young men of the college
who not only sustained the various
characters in a way that would have
done credit to professional players, but
/ twenty of their number under the di-
rection of Professor Petersen, formed
a fine orchestra of capable young
musicians, who rendered the tuneful
and catching Irish airs as well as the
more classic pieces in a manner that
carried the audience away, and made
the entire acts pleasing interludes to
the performance.
The ability with which both the play
ers and musicians acquitted themselves
did great credit to the college and
! shows that the course of instructions
given by the fathers and professors OF
the institution is very thorough
/ Special credit is due to Professor F.
! d. MurTin, the dramatic instructor,
under whose direction the production
was given. Mr.. Murrin acted also in
the role of stage manager and
| took the character of Teddy O'Neil be
cause Of the indispositiOn of Vincent
Dolly, who was originally cast for that
| part. The scenes and stage setting
, were very good and the whole ran with
4 the smoothness and precision of pro-
! fessionals.
T. j. Lynch sustained the leading
/ character, Marmaduke, son of the
/ squire. 1t is quite a heavy part de-
manding force, pathos and passion. Mr.
Lynch acquitted himself well, showing
that he had good conception of the
part and by his open manly bearing
found and kept favor with the audi
ence.
| Alphonsus Belhaven, the sneaky
/ villain, found an able exponent in J
] P. Tanning, and although the char
acter is far from winsome he sustained
it well and received merited applause
Professor MurT.in, as Teddy O'Neil, q
/ happy go-lucky, big hearted generous
! Irish lad, was a decided success, especi-
ally When he danced an Irish Jig, which
fairly brought down the house.
! Hubert L. Connolly, as Major Look
out, q jolly good fellow, and a. staunch
friend to Marmaduke, although wear
ing the red coat of the British army
did good conscientious work and was
rewarded with warm applause.
