Rogers Brothers Last Night.

Rogers Brothers in Ireland" was
PensacOla's attraction last night, and
it was presented to a very large and
thoroughly appreciadve audience.
Rogers Brothers in Ireland" is
musical comedy of merit, in fact it
may be truthfully said that there is
not dull moment in the piece. While
the play contains no plot, the Rogers
Brothers have a good time in Ireland
and much fun is made out of an op-
ton on the Blarney stone. They
have an endless variety of gags"
which seem to hit the spot all through
the performance. The scenery is
very pretty and represents Glen
daiOugh, the Lakes of Killarney and
Blarney Castle The chorus is very
large-much larger than usual in
musical comedies in this part of the
country. The piece has a lot of Irish
songs, Irish costumes and Irish
brGgue.
Miss Marion Stanley. as Alice
O'Grady, was the real hit of the
evening. Her song in the first act,
entitled Alice O'Grady," was the
best musical number, and her song in
the last act so Different" was
close second Miss Stanley is pretty
and graceful, and sings well.

1t was one day in early spring that
he appeared on Il South Carolina noun

cabin. He was young man of five
and twenty. and he was fair to look
upon. The girl of twenty who was
sweeping the rough floor with Il switch
broom stared at him for moment and
wondered how he had found his way
there from the other world. She had
seen men in plenty-she saw men cv-
cry day of her life. but they were not

unkempt. Most of them had long
boards. They wore homespun, and
they carried rifles wherever they went.
This man was totally different. He
was dressed for the mountains. but
she had seen no such clothing up there
before. He lifted his cap to her. In
all her life she had never seen that
done to Il girl or Il woman on the
mountains. If he had Il corncOb pipe
it was not in sight and he wore shoes
instead of thick boots.
