.OLCOTT SMILE AND
OLCOTT VOICE AGAIN
Columbia Due To Be Mecca This
Week for Admirers of
Irish Comedy.

A rousing Irish singing play OF revolu-
tionary times, "Shameen Dhu," is the Of
fering in which Chauncey Olcott will
make his annual appearance at the Co
lumbia Theater for a week beginning to-
morrow evening. The Irish actor should
be at his best in the work that Rida
Johnson Young has afforded him in the
role of DaSe O'Doneell.
The character is that of young Irish
poet, whose nom de plume is Shameen
Dhu (Black Jamie), and who is the
secret agent in Ireland of the American
revolutionists. He is engaged to
young widow who is the belle Of his
native village of Kincannon. Unfortu-
nately for Dare, he falls violently in love
with a young American girl who is vis-
itiDg his fiancee, woos her assiduously,
and wins her in true Irish style, mean
while singing songs of his own compost
ticn. The locale Of the play is one of
the most picturesque spots in all Ire
land, and offers some excellent oppor-
tunities for scenic display, of which
Henry Miller, who is now Mr.. Olcott's
manager, has taken ample advantage.
1t is promised that ''Shameen Dhu"
has more of a plot than the majority OF
the Olcott plays Of the years agone, but
after all, il is the Olcott songs and the
Olcott rendering of them that tine loyal
sons and daughters Of Erin go 10 hear.
And on this score they should have no
cause for complaint All OF the songs
are brand new. The company is a large,
strong one, according to notices in other
cities, and pretty Constance Molineaux
shares in the many honors of the star,
as does Mrs. Jennie Lamont, who Is now
an established feature in the Olcott
regime. ;r

story called ION the Water Wagon"
Two or three months after the story
appeared in book form, a man who
nae been an habitual drunkard went
to a priest to take the temperance
pledge.
After the pledge had been admins
tered. the priest said:
Now, I'm going to give you a little
book to read. I want you to read
something in it every day. It's not a
part of the Bible, but it's a fine book.
1 call 1t the Drunkard's Bible"
He then handed the man who want
ed to reform a copy of Blythe's book,
explaining:
This is a fine piece of work. I give
it to a good many people. 1t should
hold you steadfast in your purpose
to REFORM"
Some weeks later a friend met
Blythe on the street and told him
about the Drunkard's Bible, thinking
that the author would be greatly
pleased.
who was the man who wanted to
REFORM" asked Blythe.
The friend told him.
"Oh, hat rummy!" exclaimed
Blythe. Hes been drunk for the last
