matinee Saturday AS the central
character in new Irish song-play
my Killarney Rose" written by Her.

sound new note in playwriting. The
scene is laid in Ireland in 1900 and
the story concerns the adventures of
a young Irish rover Tom Carey by
name (Mr. WILSON, whose effervescent
character and love of adventure leads
him into many laughable and serious
complications. At first Tom is seen
with band of travelling mountebanks
endeavoring to attract the villagers
in paying quantities. In his rambles
he encounters a noble woman in dis
tress and by trick of fate he imme-
diately becomes her husband-with
the understanding that they part at
the altar never to see each other
again, but once more fate becomes a
power to assist him to rescue his
strange wife from the evil machina-
tons of her guardian and amid mum.
Der of laughable thrills Tom is able
to escape victorious from the dill
emmas into which he has been
plunged. The action is always brisk
and sparkling, with a moment now
and again for tear by the way of
contrast. Mr.. Wilson will sing num-
Der of new songs during the action,
their titles being "My Killarney Rose"
"The Love / Gives to You," Where
