Academy.

1t is rare that the author of a play
is also the actor who interprets the
leading role. But such is. the case in
the four-act comedy drama, Dublin Dan.
the Irish Detective which was pre-
sented last night at the New Academy.
Barney Gilmore. the author of the drama,
appeared as Dublin Dan. and his inter-
probation was accepted with many hearty
encores. The company is a capable one,
and the action of the play Is marked by
several sparkling specialties by Barney
Gilmore, Nellie Luckie, Tom Yost and
Edward Ward.
The type of sleuth represented by Mr..
Gilmore is new to the American stage.
He is a rolicking. good-natured indi-
vidual who corners criminals or goes
through thrilling experiences with a smil-
ing face and without the fierce siren
uosfty that marks the average stage de-
tective.
In running down a dangerous gang of
counterfeiters Detective Dan becomes ac-
quainted with pretty Rosalie Forsythe.
whose father was murdered by Richard
Forsythe, chief of the counterfeiters.
Forsythe's right name is Mccoy. crimi-
nal with dark record. Besides killing
the father of Rosalie he had her mother
ihcarcerated in a madhouse. In pursuing
Forsythe and rounding up his gang there
are many thrilling situations.
In the denouement Rosalie becomes Mrs.
Dublin Dan. The comedy parts are ac-
ceptably given by Edward H. Ward as
Heinrich Gotterdammerung, Tom Yost as
kid Bright and Nellie Luckie as
Fancy flower girl.
An interesting feature was the presen-
tation of colored stereopticon views of
picturesque places in Ireland. including
the beautiful Lakes, of Killarney and
Barney Castle, with its famous kissing
stone, with a descriptive talk. "Barney's
