"SHAMUs o'RRIEN" AT THE MET
ROPOLITAN.

"Shamus O'Brien," comedy drama
telling a romantic story of life in the
Emerald isle, in the stirring days of
1898, will be the offering of Florence
Stone and her company at the Met
ropolitan opera house beginning to-
night, and will continue through the
first part of the week, including We'd
nesday afternoon and night. On Me-
mortal day a special matinee will be
given, when Shenandoah will be pre-
sented.
There is a romance a spirit of
springtime and youth about an Irish
play; there is the sort of atmosphere
that appeals to everybody, and put
bit of outlawry in, with a dash of pa
triotism to make it justifiable, and
the play is one that is bound to please
all classes.
Shamus O'Brien is a brave lad, who
loves Ireland, and is not very fond of
English domineering. He is Outlawed
and the English soldiers are after him.
He has a beautiful sweetheart, of
course. He has a good mother, too,
whom he loves dearly. He is brave
and honest, but determined not to
have undue interference, and he is for
ever in a peck of trouble, in which he
very naturally involves all his rela-
tives and friends. Fhe play is full of
the wit, such as only an Irishman can
command.
Miss Stone will appear as Mary
Donoughmore, the sweetheart OF
Shamus. Richardson Cotton will be
seen in the leading role of Shamus
O'Brien; John Milton will be the Eng
lish nobleman Miss Edith Harcourt
Mrs. O'Brien, the mother of Shamus;
Miss Leila Shaw, the patriotic colleen;
Kate O'Reilly, who is bubbling over
with song, and whose feet keep time
to the music of her voice; Leslie Mo-
rosco, the comedy character OF Larry
O'Toole, and John T. Doyle, the trait
orous Irishman, Shadrick O'Finn.

"A GIRL FROM DIXIE" AT THE
METROPOLITAN.

Differing radically from the average
productions of this nature, the new
piece, "a Girl From Dixie" which Sam
S. Shubert, Nixon and Zimmerman
will. present at the Metropolitan the
latter half of this week, while termed
a musical comedy, is in reality COM
edy drama with interpolated musical
numbers. The story is said to possess
that continuity of thought and action,
the absence of which is usually the
most striking characteristic of the
general run of the latter day musical
comedy Several composers have con-
tributed to the production, the list in
cluding Ludwig Englander, Victor Her
bert, Baldwin Sloane, George Rosey,
Ben Jerome, Will Marion Cook, Manuel
Klein, Cole & Johnson, Henry Waller
and Max Witt. This variety of talent
gives the piece thoroughly cosmopol-
itan atmosphere, although throughout
the famous Dixie" is the motif.
The chorus will be of a rather differ
ent type from the usual assemblage,
since practically each member will
have lines. 1t will include, moreover,
two groups Of eight, one of the show
girls, and the the other, known as
"broilers," which are by no means in
significant factors in the production.
In fact, in this nO-star play the chorus
is quite as important as any individual.
AS the title implies, the plot Of "a
Girl From Dixie" deals with the for
tunes of young woman born south of
the Mason & Dixon line. Kittie CAL
vert, whose folks used to own the
town, but "aint much account now" is
the heroine. AT the time the story be-
gins she is attendant at the district
school at Tammarack, Md. Her cousin,
Nick Calvert, falls heir to an estate,
which, by mistake, is given to Kittie.
Nick is aware of the error, but re-
fuses to claim his own, and so the
young woman is permitted to retain
possession. Kitties good fortune is
made the occasion of a celebration
presided over by Jack Randolph and
Squire Mink, and the pupils of the
school, especially Maud Mabel Earle,
Kittie's bosom friend, to say nothing
of Ludwig Rosenhagen, a musician,
who is the stepfather of Kittie, in ad-
dition to being the possessor of an In
ordinate thirst. To Tammarack comes
Lord Dunmore, object, money" who
promptly falls in love with the young
hostess.
The locale of the second act shifts to
New York, where Kittie is established
as BELTS one of her wealth and sta
ton. She is visited here by some of
her old friends, and while this affords
opportunities for a number of humorous
situations, its final result is almost
tragic, because the discovery is made
that the fortune does not belong to
Kittie, but to Nick. The author would
be flying in the face of tradition were
he not to depict Lord Dunmore as be-
ing true blue" and sticking to Kittie
in spite Of the loss of gold. OF course
everyone marries the one he or she
notwithstanding to the librettist-
and all live happily ever after.

this line fell expressed his dissatisfac-
