There are no Irish plays having plots of deeper
interest or more ingenious in construction, and
none having prettier or more realistic scenic Ell
fects than are seen in "Shaun Rhue;' yet with
out the true Irish personalities depicted by Joseph
Murphy, they would "go' for naught. This dc.
lineation is original to Mr.. Murphy, suggested
possibly by the lines of the plays, yet developed
in their details by Mr.. Murphy's actual know.
ledge of Irish characteristics actual acquaintance
with the topography, geography and history of
Ireland. Mr. Murphy will be seen in 'Shaun
