THE DRAMA
Miss Redmond's Little Play and

In snite of Leagues upon Leagues, even

Increasing appreciation OF their Work. LAST
night the programme was characteristic

formed. These two, already familiar here
through the interesting efforts of the irish

In Miss Redmond's play, Shaun Moran
q strapping young fellow of twenty or so'
returns to his cottage home from XII
mainham Gaol. where he has been I'M
prisoned for participating in an insurrec-
tion. The year is 1893. Shaun tells his
parents that he has been set free. when
is true. and that his younger brother anu
follow prisoner, Sheamus, is better cared
for than ever. which is also true, seeing
that Sheamus is dead. Dead, too. three or
four other fine lads, these hung on raw
morning for their patriotic violence. Old
Moran wonders, naturally enough, why
Shaun Is free accuses him of being an IN
former. and orders him out of the house
Then Shaun. partly by his mothers plead

the chance TO tell his story.
An official had come to him In the prison
Offering 10 set free the dear brother
Sheamus If Shaun would tell fact or two.
Shaun told. And then he was taken to
his brother But little Sheamus was dead
Of fever; had already died when the officer
bribed Shaun with promise. So the
shame Of the informer is Shaun's to no
good end at all. Seeing how it stands, his
father forgives him and begs him to re-
main a home, and his mother, weeping for
her youngest and dearest lad, falls moan
ing when she sees that Shaun has gone
away in the black night, so that the dis
grace Of an informers presence may not
rest on the home of Old Moran and Mary,
his wife.
