A. O. H. and the young amateurs.
Pilgrims drama of Robert Emmett,
revised, corrected and heightened by
the amateurs" and rehearsed under
! the able direction of Mr. Harry Ma
! lone, was presented in a mastery MAJ
ner and Mr.. Malone is being justly
complimented on the good judgment
/ he displayed in his caste of local i
ent. Every character was more than
! good. Lawrence Malone as Robert EN-
met looked handsome and assumed the
attitude of the Irish martyr almost to
perfection. One would judge by his
manner and movements on the stage
that he had studied carefully the life
of the great patriot. He appeared first
In rich blue suit, the uniform of the
Society of Friends. After his capture,
he was stripped of his uniform. In Kill
mainham Jail he wore a black coat,
and stock. light pants and vest. This
scene was very affecting and many
were noticed in the audience weeping.
Miss Veronica Fitzpatrick as Miss Cur
ran has no equal on the amateur stage.
John Kelly and Genevieve Fitzpatrick
as Darby and Judy kept the house in
roars Of laughter. They were true to
to the pleasure of hearing from them
soon again. Dan Gallivan as O'Leary
could not be better. Dan COughlan who
took the part of Dowdall justly mer-
it's his share of the praise and NJ.
M'Gill as Sergeant Topfall was where
he belonged James Burns, sr., per-
sonated Lord Norbury and looked as
merciless as ever his lordship could
have been, all could see at a glance
that there was no mercy for the pris-
oner. Mr.. Clark as jailer acted very
gracefully and humane. Mr.. b.
M'Donough took the part OF high sher-
if, read the death warrant, and ac-
companied the prisoner to the gal
lows. Mr.. F. Fitzpatrick read the pro-
logue to the play, and astonished every
one by the mastery manner in which
he did it. The remarks on the last
hours of Robert Emmett by Mr.. II. Ma
lone were we'll received and richly ap-
plauded The chorus by the children of
the a. o. H. was very well given.
John Kelly received round after round
of applause for his rendition of THE
Day We Left Ireland Miss M'Sorley,
whose cultivated voice is always APP
preciated, sang three beautiful selec
tons, and as on other occasions did
herself credit. The Kelly sisters were
also good. Miss Malone, under whose
direction the musical part of the pro-
gramme was placed, is deserving of
extra credit. Taking it all through, it
was an entertainment that the order
may justly feel proud of. and the
young amateurs cannot find their SUI
periors, East or West.
After the programme was finished,
Mr.. McDonough introduced Rev. Fa-
Their keenan, of St. Mary's Cathedral,
Salt Lake City. The Rev. gentleman
commenced by thanking the order for
sending him not only one invitation,
but two. He said he had often heard
Father Kelly speak of the good gen
erous people of Park City, but never
before had the pleasure of being en-
tertained by them. He encour-
aged all the young men to join the A.
o. II. and said he hoped by next
March to find the order in Park City
500. He then said a few
words about the coming lecture for
the benefit of st. Anne's Orphanage.
The dramatic company with Father
keenan, and another priest (whose
name the writer has forgotten) in their
midst, had their pictures taken on the
stage. Thus closed one of the most en-
joyable entertainments ever given in
Park City.
