BREED THEATER.
Colleen Bawn Delights Immense Audi ences With It's Beautiful Irish Scenery and Story.

Judging by the size of the audiences a. the Breed last eveAing, the wonder ful and beautiful drama of Ireland en- titled Colleen Bawn was a great sue cess. This exquisite picture story, taken in Ireland and every scene laid in the exact spot made famous by the great drama, is one of the most com piete, thrilling and interesting features ever presented at the Breed.
 The beautiful story tells that the blue waters of Killarney lakes, with all their mirrored mountains, all their isl ands clothed in softly maSsed arbutus, reflected no ,fairer image than that of Tore Cregan, the baronial estate of the Cregans. With it's hil1y sweeps of woodlands and cosy stretches of bogs and its fertile farmIands, it formed a possession that well might kindle the eye with admiration and arouse envi- GUS longings in the breast of the pass ing traveller.
 But the mistress of Cregan hall knows of the heavy mortgage upon it, and is depending upon her son Hard ress to marry his cousin, Anne Chute, wealth to relieve the estate of it's en- ournbrance, if Hardress can be brought to marry her.
 Meanwhile Hardress has seen and secretly married Eily O'Connor, the charming Colleen Bawn. Eily was not gifted with much book learning but possessed a warm heart, so it was. not q difficult matter to persuade her to keep the marriage a secret.
 Hardress mother becomes so per sictent that Danny Mann, a simple minded cripple who works on the Gre gan estate, takes it upon himself to rid his master of the Colleen.
 He entices her to the lonely island and into tAe cave of Colleen Bawn rock, where he Is about to kill her, but a hunter mistakes Danny for an otter and fires at him, wounding him, and thinking the floating object in the water to be the reward of his shot finds his mistake and rescues Ely. bringing her to safety. The story is told completely and the various scenes fir the old country are a delight to the eye and are familiar to many of the tourists who have visited there from this city.
 Evening performances are at ' and SIS o'cSAch, and today is positively the last da |to see it.
