"THE SHAUGHRAUN" AT THE
GRAND

The offering for this week at the
Grand, commencing tonight, will be
revival of Dion Boucicault's Irish
drama, "The Shaughraun." 1t has been
several years since this play was pre-
sented here and no doubt the theater-
going public Of this city will be pleased
to see it again. The play is replete
with thrilling incidents and much clev-
er comedy. There has been an abun-
dance of special scenery provided for
the production.
The action opens with a scene on the
estates of Robert Ffolliott, who through
false accusation is serving a term in
penal Servitude. Ffolliott has been ex-
lied through the schemes of an un-
scrupulous Irish squire named Cory
Kinchela. With Ffolliott out of his
way, Kinchela hopes not only to come
into possession of the estates with
mortgages he holds, but also to force
into marriage Roberts sweetheart,
Artes O'Neal, who is living on the es-
tate with Roberts sister, Claire
Ffolltott, who with Robert, is the last
of her race.
Word reaches Kinchela that all of
the Fenian prisoners under sentence
nave received the queens pardon, and
he is making his greatest efforts to
accomplish his plans when his ac-
compltce, Harvey Duff, brings word
that Ffolliott has escaped from prison
and is waiting until, under cover of
night he can visit his sister, sweet
heart and dearest friend Father Do
Ian, the parish priest
Kinchela puts the soldiers upon Rob-
erts trail and he is arrested and jail
ed- Then comes Kinchelas greatest
hypocrisy. Knowing that word must
sooner or later reach the authorities
that FfolliOtt as Fenian is entitled
TO full liberty, he comes to Roberts
cell and under the guise OF friendship,
offers to aid him to escape and pro-
Yldes him with tools for the purpose.
But ne has posted men with orders to
shoot the prisoner should he attempt
TO escape and it is in this manner h.
hopes to be rid of him for good and all.
HIS plans are upset, however, through
the counter plan of Conn, the Shaugh
raun.| happy -go-lucky Irish boy, who
mas contr1ved his masters escape from
the Fenian settlement and now once
more steps in to aid him.
ROBERT does escape, but not as Kin
cheIa intended, and it is while in this
freedom he learns of his pardon. He
loses no time in giving himself up to
the soldlery and comes into his own
again.
The play will be staged in an elab-
orate way and will bring out the f1lll
strength of the Fawcett COMPANY
