! Rogers Brothers Coming.
The famous Rogers Brothers will be
at the Academy for one performance on
Friday night, preIenting .rhe Rogers
Brothers in Ireland" Tl&se clever en-
tertainers have changed their geo.
graphical situation each season for
years, creating a great deal OF interest
with each change they have made; but
of hni orti, ha
Emerald Isle, has proven far mere inter
esting than any they have selected in
tho past.
The piece is radical departure from
anything else in which the Rogers
Brothers have been seen. Heretofore
their plays have been a conglomeration
of comic nonsense, interspersed With
novel specialtes and attractive musical
numbers. This season they have q genu-
inc Irish comedy, possessing not only a
comic. but serious love interest. All
the characters in the piece, with the
exception of the Rogers Brothers, are
b Irish. The stars, however, retain the
y German cEaracterizations which have
made them so popular in the past.
The story is told in three acts, with
scenes which show Glendalough, the
"a lakes of Killarney and Barney Castle.
These are quite elaborate. and were
lTOIil
ties which they represent The costum-
\ ing is elaborate, and though maintaining
9fNin a general way the characteristics OF
irish dresses, is localized for artistic
effect. The company of one hundred
people IS probably the best selection the
Rogers Brothers have yet had.
The brothers play the roles of Helm
\ rich Punk and Nicholas Knox, two pub
s lic-spitited young Germans, who visit
Ireland with the purpose of purchasing
the Blarney stone and placing it on cN.
hibition in the United States. With Tho
money thus derived they propose t.
purchase the freedom of Ireland from
the British crown. On their arrival the!
become involved i'll q series Of boti
serious and comic complications, Which

including the Irist 'constabulary, landel
proprietors, lords attu ladies, dairy maids
Killarney and Kilkenny girls, lads an,
1assics gossoons and colcens, paddles
,reasants and deputies. The contrast be
stWeen the dialect of the Rogers brother
and the broguc ot the remainder of tn
