Irish spirit pervading the whole work,
and the picture of peasant life It por-
trays is vivid and faithful in every de-
tail. The play was written by Rida
Johnson Young in collaboration with
Rita Olcott. The role played by Mr.. OIL
colt is that Of a picturesque wandering
minstrel. Ragged Robin. whose singing
makes him a welcome guest everywhere.
Ragged Robin" like all of Mr.. Oh

type that does not contain a single line
or episode that Is vulgar or suggestive.
The part OF the wanderer suits Mr. Oh
colt better than most of the roles in his
recent plays. which is saying a good
deal. and he has several very beautiful
new songs, composed by him especially
for the play. Manager Pitou has organ
