NAUGATUCK NUGGETS
Gem Opera House Was Crowded At
 Last Nights Performance.


 The opera house was crowded last night, the occasion being the reprOduc- tion of the pleasing Irish drama, For Honor's Sake" by members of the Y. M. c. I. dramatic club. The perform ance passed off smoothly and the eX- ecution was fine. The play was pre- sented under the direction of E. h.. Maloney and the presentation speaks well of the able manner in which he coached the club. John Carabine as Herald O'Neill, rich farmer, DOT trayed the character of the pleasant old Irish farmer to perfection MT Carabine is a well known figure on the local stage and his work last evening was another success added to his al- ready long list, James Maher as Mi chael his son, could not have been i'm proved upon. The able manner in which he handled his part brought forth great praise from the large audi ence. MT Maher showed the trials which brother would subject himself for his sisters sake in q most touching manner and at each appearance of this popular young amateur the old opera house fairly shook from the applause given him The hit of the evening was made by Patrick J. Sullivan as Reginald Mulvaney, the roue, possessed of fine clear voice and having an inn pressive appearance MT Sullivan fairly Outdid himself in the part. He DOT Srayed with marked freedom of ease the treachery of the rogue and spend- Thrift ever working for his own selfish Interests. MT Sullivan is one of the most popular amateurs and always makes decided hit with the audience. Robert Griffith as Pierce Mover, lover of Honor O'Neill, made a fine appear ance and acted his part to perfec- tion. Mir Griffith is one of Nauga- tuck's most promising amateurs, al- ways at home on the stage and always n favorite. Frank Kiely as Crotty, the carrier, was roundly applauded at ev- cry turn. MT Ikiely had comedy part and he handled it in most proficient manner. Larry Farrell, the tool of Mulvaney, was ably handled by George P. Hayes. MT Hayes's portrayal of the despicable informer was comment4 ed upon on all sides and MT Hayes was the recipient of much praise for the ex vellent way in which he filled his part Miss Elizabeth Gilson as Honor O'Neill was the favorite of the even- ing Pretty of face and form and pos Eessed of an excellent voice Miss Gill son was in every sense of the word the Ravorite. She gave most able imper- sonation of the part of the poor, grief stricken Honor O'Neill and she won lasting favor from the audience by her beautiful conception of the part Miss Mary E. Shea as Milly Cassidy, the cast off sweetheart of Mulvaney, acquitted herself in her usual most creditable manner. Miss Shea is great favorite with local audiences and the applause she received last evening showed clearly that she has lost none of her popularity. Too much praise cannot be given to Miss Minnie Sullivan who played the part of katy Moriarty Miss Sullivan, of course, had the com. edy part and no one could have filled the part more ably than she. As an Irish character Miss Sullivan ranks second to none around these parts and she is always loudly applauded when she appears before the foot1ights MISS Mamie Kelly as the Widow Cassi- dy, Frank Walsh and Daniel O'Con. nell and Flynn and Fogarty, owners of Ia secret still, Thomas Bowling as Sergeant Wheeler and Hardy, a turn, @>N~Jt SAAI A ClCI VOOuS d5 Lu0 IQdElS Erate, all had minor ports which they played to perfection. The play as 6 Evhole was a grand success and was Euperbly rendered.
