KILLARNEY GIRLS
 AT THE PRINCESS
SOMETHING OF THE FOUR GIRLS WHO SING so
 SWIFTLY.
Have Filled Prominent Parts in 9th. CT Productions--cIoce Their
 Engagement Here Tonight.

 Girls, who they were and where they were from, that to satisfy what ap- peared to be a general demand on the part of the patrons of the Princess, reporter paid a visit to these four charminf .iheart breakers,' and ar- tIstes after the matinee yesterday af- ternoon and interviewed them indi- yidualiy and collectively.
 The "scribe' went there believing that he would meet young ladies of more than average intelligence, and his faith in this respect was not shat tered. It was soon demonstrated that they know great deal more than Is constituted in their successful vaudeville act, and each and every S@le of them has been prominent in the literary and musical world, as well as in theatrical productions.
 The names of the Four Killarney Girls are:
 lrma yon Bereghy, prima donnai Lena Lipps, second soprano; Bessie Fl. Vreeland. first alto. and Margaret Connyee. Miss Von Bereghy is from New York, while Miss Conyee claims Waterbury, Ct., as her home, and Miss Vreeland Is also a resident where the lights along Broadway glimmer snd shine. Miss Lipps, if you please, Is Hoosier maiden, mailing from that dear Pierceton".
 This act has been in vaudeville for over year. It was put on the road by Max Witt, Of New York. who has the enviable reputation Of staging more successful girl singing features than any one vaudeville producer in the United States. and this is only one of the many.
 Hot Springs residents have thought that the talented prima donna, Miss von Bergehy. has been here before, and when the reporter asked her if she had not appeared in this city with production, she said:
 Two years ago I was leading lady with the 'Gingerbread Man and play ed the Auditorium theater. This isn't my first visit to Hot Springs, rnd I hope it won't be my last, for the people here seem to like us, and appreciate it freatly."
 Miss Connyee has charge of the act while it Is on the road, acting as s'manager" Vaudeville isn't her first theatrical venture, by any means. She Ste played prominent part in Geo of Cohen's first great success, Lit tie Johnny Jones' and was with For tydive Minutes from Broadway, as we'll as other big musical successes.
 T have the easiest time in the world managing this act''. she said, for the reason that the girls are not only the most talented young la dies n vaudeville, but they are just the dearest girls in the world, too, and we get along like four loving sis ters.
 Miss Connyee has the reputation of being one of the best and most ac- curate ticket sellers in her native city, Waterbury, Ct, having been treasurer Of Polls theater for four years.
 Miss Vreeland's claim to fame lies in the fact that she has illustrated some of the best pictures and paint ings of 'The American Girl' in var. ious poses for the leading New York artists, and even now has lucrative offers from a we'll known New York artist to leave the stage and take up this feature, but she is welded to her art and making great sue cess with her vaudeville work.
 q am not going to say l am from Chicago, for I am not, emphatically declared the Miss Lena. "a'm foing to be true to my native city. love the town Of Pierceton. Ind, and am glad that my work in stock there. as we'll as in Chicago and oth- CT cities, has always been success. ffttiiii. ftii ,.
 h the prlma donna Miss yon Bere- ghy, the reporter found fellow journalist. for she produced the evidence that she had s'held down the desk7 in newspaper work before. She was dramatic critic for the 'Ev- ening Telegram, New York, as well as associate editor of 'sThe Daily Trades Record" and musical editor on the Younger Set, also New York publications. ll
