Bonita Today.
This popular theatre will show to-
day a magnificent three-ree. rroduc-
ton, "Arrah Ma Pogue" a romantic
Irish Drama, a story of Ireland when
British rule was oppressive.
The drama Is in thre acts and covers
lapse Of time Of about thirty hours
In that time much happens and that
fact gives action to this picture. The
Kalem players have added a prologue
to the written version which goes
back to the time when Arrh Mellish
aided the escape from prison Of her
foster brother, Beamish McCoul by
passing a message to him with a kiss
for which she was given the name
'Arrah- Ma Pogue," or, Arrah of the
Kiss. Then the vents of the play fol .
low in regular order. Beamish Nc
Coul has returned from exile at the re-
quest of his sweetheart Fanny Power
and is to take her back to France with
him. He robs Feeny of the proceeds
of the estate and gives some of the
money to Arrah as a wedding present,
for she is to marry Shaun the Post
on the following day.
Feeny happens along and sees the
notes in Arrah's possession and at
once believes that Shaun helped rob
him. He is in love with Arrah, him
self, and sees a good chance to get
Shaun out of the way and get his
money back at the same time. Shaun
is arrested and tried for the crime
and sentenced to be hung.
Through some mischance Fanny
gets sthe idea that Beamish is untrue
and she fails to carry out her part
of the plan to marry and leave the
country. She does not keep her ap-
pointpent, but sends a messenger ac
c'lsing Beamish of Indebtedness.
The same messenger tells Beamish to
go to the secretary of state and give
| himself UP to save Shaun for Arrah.,
In the meantime Fanny discovers
that there is no grounds for her jeal~
ousy and she promises to marry Cap
tain O'GradS. her guardian, if he will
use his good Offices to secure Shaun's
| release. Later, when she hears what
Beamish has done, she hastens to the
secretary, also. So it happens that
Beamish, OGrady and Fanny call on
the seer etary at the same time. This
gives an opportunity for a bit of COM
edy which has been we'll improved
by the Kalem players. In the end the
secretary grants the pardon requested
and the three post back to save Shaun.
While Shaun's friends have been in
terceding for him Arrah has also been
trying to console him. She gains the
pacapet of the jail in which he is
confined and drops note to him down
the chimney. This and the sound Of
Arrah's voice. rouses Shaun to action:
he breaks his bonds, tears the bars
from abe Jail window and climbs the
ivy covered wall to the roof Of the
jail Feeny, who has been seeking
Arrah, is there before him and has
threatened to kill Shaun if Arrah does
not run away with him. He is about
to drop a stone on Shaun's head when
Arrah grapples with him and sue
ceeds in holding him till Shaun arrives
and throws the rascal over the par
apet into the lake below. Shaun is
afterward discovered by O'Grady and
the soldiers, and advised Of his pardon
and the scene ends happily for every
body, except Feeny, who was drowned.
