OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT
See What the Rutland Herald Says OF Flske
O'Hara's Appearance in Rutland
Tuesday Evening:

other musical number which received
the approval Of the audience in no un-
certain terms. Mr.. O'Hara's voice is
a strong, rich tenor, and there is
something in his rendering of these
characteristic Irish melodies which
creates a warm feeling in the vicinity
of a persons heart, whatever nation
ality he may be. Other songs which
Mr.. O'Hara sang were BE Sure and
Kiss the Barney Stone, and Hearts
Desire, the keynote of the piece and
a melody which brings out the sing
er's voice at its best.
Large Orchestra.
Special mention is necessary for
the augmented orchestra which, un
der the direction of Cass Freedom
general musical director for Mr..
O'Hara, contributed a large amount to
the success of the entertainment. The
special program given at the begin
ming of the play and between the acts
was well received, especially the cello
solos by Mr.. Steisel and those on the
violin by Mr. Pearl. po
An unusually fine setting was that
used in Act H., showing the wishing
Well" This act abounded in excel
lent situations for bringing out the
acting of all the characters. The
work of J. p. Sullivan and that of
William T. Sheehan as Paddy Tam
and Jonas Stats" respectively, was
unusually good in this act, and they
were tyDjcal in their roles through
out the play. Lou Ripley could al

Irish wit reigned supreme in the
three-act drama, His Hearts Desire
in which the versatile and sunny
smiled son of the Emerald sic, Fiske
O'Hara, captivated an audience which
filled the Playhouse to capacity last
evening. His Hearts Desire" is re-
freshing to say the least, and is a
welcome relaxation from many of the
sensational and heavy problem plays
that are now crowdingt the theatre
boards. The piece sparkles from be-
ginning to end with clean, sunny hui
NOR, much OF which is made more APP
pealing by the delightful effect Of Mr.
O'Harais personality. and especially
by HIS impressionistic singing.
.slbIsfer Strong Cast I8 aE
The Irish actor-singer is cleverly
supported by selected cast. all Of
whom are artists in the business. 1t is
hard to imagine more charming
Irish lass than Mollie McGarry, as in
terpreted by Patricia Clary, and the
fact that Sir Larry O'Neil (Mr.
O'Hara) falls in love with her at first
sight, is not at all surprising to the
audience Neither is ii very surprising
that this young Irish maid should fin
ally listen to the passionate wooing of
the young gentleman. whom she had
sworn that she would never marry.
All in all, 1t Is a charming tale, and
one which needs no Williams, dark
plots or knotty problems to hold the
attention of the audience.
Singing Captivates Audience.
Mr.. O'Hara's singing is not the least
of the performance. In fact, he had
the large audience with himffrom the
first, and his rendering of "Mollie
Mine" was encored again and again,
and some delightful acting was at
tached to each encore. That's How

AIRPLANES CAN WIN
WAR, IS PEARY BELIEF

Washington, June 14.-Rear Ad-
miral Robert E. Peary told a sub
committee of the Senate military
committee that the airplane was the
cheapest and quickest answer to the
submarine, and that if 1000 air
planes were sent abroad they would
do more to curb the submarine men
ace than anything else that could be
done.
with the same concentration OF
effort as Won Tirpitz exerted to de-
velop the submarine in Germany,
think we will have an answer to the
submarine and a quick decision OF
the war;" he declared.
Admiral Peary appeared in support
of a bill to establish department
of aeronautics, with a place in the
cabinet
The general opinion among ex-
perts, he said, is that the war Will
be decided In the air and that soon
airplanes will be fighting in brigades
of from 500 to 1000 fliers.
