UNION

The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1914-08-29

Fiske O'Hara is said to be at his
best in his new romantic comedy,
Jacks Romance" which he will
present at the Metropolitan for the
week beginning Sunday, August 80.
The play furnishes him many excel
lent opportunities for the display of
his versatile talents and he was never
more happily placed than in the role
of the rollicking Jack Connolly. who
comes back from Canada to meet his
hearts mate at last in his native
place. His portrayal of the dashing
young Irish gentleman is conceded
by all who have seen it to be a de-
lightful bit of dramatic artistry and
it at once lifts him into the front
rank of our young romantic actors.
The play, itself, is pretty love story
of the middle of the eighteenth CEN
fury, in which intrigue and hate play
a prominent part. All the romantic
atmosphere of the period, the native
with of the people, the quaint coun-
try characters and the life of the
aristocracy are presented to the au-
dience in the most attractive manner.
The songs of Mr.. O'Hara are said to
be among the best he has yet had,
and are sung as only he can sing
them. Manager Pitou has organized
a splendid supporting company and
has equipped Jacks Romance" with
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1914-08-29

Irish melody at its best. Manager
Pitou has surrounded his star with
IA splendid company and there is
wealth of handsome scenery and cos
tunes.
The romantic spirit of the eigh-
teenth century fills the performance
of Fiske O'Hara's new play, "Jack's
Romance" which he will present at
the Metropolitan for one week begin
ming Sunday, August 30th. The au-
thor, Augustus Pitou, has succeeded
in investing his story with the de-
lightful atmosphere of the. period and
brings us characters of unusual in
terest in his play. The middle of the
eighteenth century was one Of those
rare epochs in Irish history when the
country was free from political strife
and it might be regarded as the haly-
cyon period of the Green Isle.
Jacks Romance" has much to do
with the gentry of that time, who
were gallant and courtly in their
manners, and filled with the highest
and most chivalrous sentiment. Racy
Irish humor, fun galore and plenty of
old-fashioned love making 60 far in
the construction of the play and
make every scene Of it sparkle. 1t
is undoubtedly Mr.. Pitou's master
piece and will doubtless be as popular
as his other works. Fiske O'Hara
has a new budget of songs which he
sings with his inimitable art and
which are one of the delightful feat
ures of the performance. Jacks
Romance" is mounted as sumptuous-
ly as the other Pitou productions and
is presented by one of the strongest
casts ever seen in Irish drama.

MYLES MURPHY AND FISK
O'HARA

In the capacity of advance man
for the Fisk O'Hara show, Jacks
Romance" which will hold forth at
the Metropolitan during the coming
week, is Myles Murphy, one of the
best known and oldest Catholic news
paper men in America. Mr.. Murphy is
not only a prolific writer, but an au-
thority on Irish literature and music
and more than once have readers of
the Irish Standard, in years long
past, had the extreme pleasure of
reading some of his stories. His
stories of Irish folklore TEEN with
interest, and it is somewhat to be re-
GREETED that the call for the stage was
so strong as to induce Mr.. Murphy
to leave the ranks of Catholic news
paper men. For years he was con-
nected with the Times-Union of Buf-
falo, and his articles on Irish litera-
ture and music have appeared in all
the leading Catholic papers in the
country.
His genial personality makes him
welcome visitor to every newspa-
per office and the Pitous showed rare
judgment in choosing Mr.. Murphy as
advance man for Fisk O'Hara, and
through the Murphy medium have
secured much editorial space for that
brilliant young star. ...

a lavish adornme..t in the way Of
scenery and costumes.
That ever welcome incarnation Of
Irish hero roles, Fiske O'Hara will
be the attraction at the Metropolitan
for the week beginning Sunday. Au-
gust 30th, presenting a new Irish
comedy entitled Jacks Romance. :"
AS the name would indicate, the story
of the play is love story and it
takes place in the Emerald Isle about
the middle of the eighteenth century,
a period in which gallantry held full
sway and in which some of the pref
tiest of all love stories have been
cleaned by novelists and writer's of
plays. The story of the play is a
good one and there is proportionate
mixture of excitement, comedy. love-
making and music that will interest
any audience. AS the younger broth
er of an Irish nobleman. Fiske
O'Hara has a part that fits him tc
perfection. For romantic hero roles
he is we'll fitted by nature as his
splendid physique, his engaging per-
sonality and dashing style of acting
go far toward making him the ideal
stage lover. His voice, however. is
his greatest charm. To hear him

upon the Eternal City upon the silent
weath-clasped figure of Plus x.
What is it in the concurrence that
makes such powerful summons
upon thought of mind. up
on throA of heart and word of
mouth? It is the Roman pontificate,
marking another epoch in it's life of
many centuries; it is the closing hour
in the career of one of the most
holy and lovable links in the long
chain of that supreme ponti6cate.
"He was the pontiff of the Christ
ian creed. For this, all Christians,
non-C Catholic as we'll as Catholic, are
his debtors. To those who peered
into the full meaning of his forcible
condemnations of modernism it is
plain that he was the undaunted
champion of the fundamental doc
trines OF the Christian religion.
"Lovable. Plus x surely was. He
was simplicity itself, knowing full
we'll how to preserve the best fea-
lures Of his earlier democracy amid
the splendors of the aristocracy Of
his later appurtenances. He was
equally at home with the humble toll
ers of the garden of the vatican, as
with princes of the stately palatial
halls.
"Piety, the earnest love of God and
of the things of God predominated in
him. Self was nothing, God was all
things"

Cities during the past week. Last
Sunday, at the old Cathedral in St.
Paul, special tribute was paid to
the memory of the late Supreme Pom

On Monday special services were
held in the Cathedral in St. Paul. On
Tuesday memorial services were con-
Quoted in the Pro-Cathedral in Min
neapolis and in many of the Mime
apolis churches for the deceased Pom
tiff. The sermon at the pro-Cathed-
raj was preached by Father Cullen,
who specially referred to the glory
Of the Roman Pontifcate and the See
OF Peter. Father Cullen reviewed the
lite and activities of the late Pope,
making special reference to his in
terest in the faithful and his special
interest in the little children. The
papers throughout the country. as
we'll as the sermons and tributes by
the Catholic clergy, were of one tone
in their praise of the sanity charac-
ter of Pope Plus the Tenth.
