The Breckenridge Stock company In
"An Irish American" at the Crawford
last night was highly enjoyed by all
who saw this performance. This play
was something new and with Charles
Breckenridge as the Irish American
cousin, with that Irish humor in which he
is exceptionally good, never failed to
keep the audience laughing whenever
he appeared.
The specialties still continue to be one of
the features of the company. They are
not only new and original, but Tuning
with many good jokes which never fail
to please.
