The favorite comedy drama, ga Ragged
Hero" will be presented in Belfast Opera
House, Tuesday evening, May 10th, with
the popular American comedian, George F.
Hall, in the title role. The most prominent
figure in the exciting portions of the play
| is wandering outcast who is no less heroic
at times of danger than he is amusing in
his moments of serenity. 1t is shown that
beneath a rusty exterior there may be a
heart of the most brilliant quality. A num-
Der of thrilling scenes have been cleverly
introduced, one of which is a race between
bob-sled upon which the heroine dashes
down hill, and railroad which crosses
at the foot of the slope.
