Harrigan is by no means a young
man noW-his old partner, Tony Hart,
has long been dead-for he was an
actor of some importance in his grade
in the early seventies. 1t was then
that he passed through one of those
particularly dramatic incidents that
sometimes comes to persons in theatre
cal life,~but more often, perhaps, are
invented by the press agents.
Harrigan was then not more than 20
years old. He had not been married
more than a couple of years and his
baby boy was the delight of his heart.
He was so fond of the child that his
constant talk about it often wearied
his best friends. Late one afternoon
the child was taken very ill. The doc
tor who was called told Harrigan, on
ly an hour before it was time for him
to go on the stage, that the boy was
in serious danger-in fact, that he
might not be alive when the play was
over. Harrigan wanted to give up the
performance, but his manager and
employer wouldn't have it. and the
young actor went on with heavy
heart. He controlled himself so well,
however, that the people in front new

to be anything but genuine. After
the performance, almost frantic with

1t seems like old time to old, New
Yorkers-and to many old-time visit
ors here besides-to see Ned Harrigan
on the stage in anything save vaude-
willie once more.
His present play, Under Cover"
like those in which he made his great
successes years go when the firm of
Harrigan & Hart was at the zenith of
it's triumph, was written by himself.
Somehow, though, it doesn't seem to
"catch on" as 1.-The Last of the Ho-
gans" did a dozen years or more ago
or any of the others which used to
pack the theater to the doors night
after night the season through.
In those days Ned Harrigan's name
was often printed in the list of sue
cessful playwrights. More than one
critical writer recorded it as his opin-
ion,, in the early nineties, that Harri-
gan was really a remarkable play
Wright. In those days William Dean
Howells was one of his most enthusi-
astic admirers.
The ideals of Ned Harrigan as play
wright were not high, but there is no
doubt that he knew thoroughly and
depicted truthfully the everyday life
of New York, nor that he was for a
long time a popular stage idol here.
Yet his hold on the public was not last
ing, nor is it believed that the plays
in which he did so well years ago would
now make any serious impression on
the public.
