HEARTS OF ERIN
REMARKABLY FINE
Noted Irish Tenor Walter ScanIan. Car
ries Audience by StOrm-Superb
Acting by Entire Company.

In the forefront of theatrical attrac-
tions thus far presented in the Audito-
rum this season is Hearts of Erin, the
beautiful Irish eOmedy-drama given last
evening. and while the attendance fell
short of what the performance deserved,
which is not unusual closely following
the Valley fair, those present gave Wal
ter Scanlan and his company cordial ex-
preston of their enjoyment.
Mr. Seaman Is a noted Irish tenor,
we'll styled the John Mccormack of the
comic opera stage, yet if he had not sung
note the play still would have created
a deep and lasting impression because of
its excellence. With superb acting by the
entire company and especially handsome
stage settings in addition to AIr. Scanlan's
wonderful singing and charming person
ality the total was a rarely delightful en-
tertainment.
The story of the play is in short the
efforts of schemers to Oust Nora O'AIalley
from her inheritance, which are prevented
by Barry BOyne, the new squire, result
ing in the happy marriage of these two
after some very effective love scenes. Mr.
Scanlan was Barry B6yne and Olive
Moore the petite colleen, Nora O'AIaIley.
They were ably supported by Charles w.
Dingle as Martin Burke. the chief
schemer, Lawrence G. O'Brien and Dan
Kelley, comedians, Olive Moore as Lady
Sylvia of Dromana castle, and Thomas
V. Gillen as the lad. Terence O'Malley.
Numerous ballads some of them his
own compositions, were rendered by Mr.
Seaman, who generously responded to en-
cores, and the marvellous quality of his
tones his exceptional control. wonderful
sustaining power and perfect enunciation
gripped his audience as no other singer
has done here in recent years.
Mr.. Scanlan rendered two members by
request and stated that he had signed a
contract to produce an Irish play each
year for a period of years and hoped to
come to Brattleboro again. If he does he
il sure to receive an enthusiastic wei
come.

to BE Here First of Next Week.
In the weekly meeting of the board
of selectmen last evening variety of
matters came up for consideration, some
of them being of considerable import
.ance.
\ petition signed by Reed street resi-
dents and others in that section was
presented, asking that repairs be made
on Reed street, and it is probable that
something in that line win be done.
The necessity of taking steps to pre-
vent surface water from doing further
damage in MorniEgside cemetery was
discussed, and it was decided that the
members of the board of selectmen and
the town attorney meet on the premises
tomorrow to make an inspection.
For some time the surface water from
South Main street, augmented by water
which flows into it from the Oak Grove
section. has flowed over the west bank
Of the cemetery, Outlying out the bank
and washing dirt down on to the ceme-
terry proper. Farther north the surface
water is causing damage to both the
Aorningside and Prospect Hill ceme-
teIy properties, and the selectmen have
been asked to prevent further damage
at that point.
1t is expected that the laying of new
drains viii be necessary, which will in
yolvc not little expense. but some
drains already laid in that section can
be utilized as a part Of the system.

mira. The new bridge is being fabri-
Gated there by the American Bridge CO.,
to which concern the contract was sub

took the contract from the town.

of that work can be done without in

I work. This Is one of the matters that
viii be considered next week by Mr..
Storrs.
Since the old bridge was hurled iato
the river two concerns have sent repre-
sentatiyes here to look into the question
of the possibility of salvaging it, but
the selectmen were unable to get an Of

think the old bridge has settled several

Whether the old bridge ever will be
removed is uncertain. If the New

ace that trees or other floating objects
might lodge against it and cause dam
