Delightful Treat
Is GiUen Audience
By Irish Players
The White-Headed Boy Typ
ical of the Theater at Its
Best-No One Star.

An evening OF delightful entertain
ment awaits those who take advan-
tage OF the opportunity Of seeing the
Irish Players this evening at the
Oliver IN their second performance
OF The White Headed Boy" This
delicious comedy by LennoN Robin
son was presented before a good
sized and appreciative audience
Wednesday evening and the produc-
ton merits even better box once
support than was given the first
night.
The White Headed Boy" as the
Irish Players gave Il, is typical Of
the theater at its best and IL IS
wholesome drama artisuCaIly con-
ceived, written and presented.
Among the players there IS not
one who does not deserve individual
mention. and 1t would be difficult 10
say who deserved it most, so admir-
ably balanced are they in ability.
Inimitable Characterization.
Marie O'Neill as Aunt Ellen, and
Arthur Sinclair as John Duffy. the
chairman OF the Rural District Coun-
ell, both presented inimitable char
acterizations, and Maureen Delany
was equally as effective as Mrs.
Geoghegan, IN whose home the ac-
ton takes place. For the rest, as
already stated. there was not one
who did not play UP 10 the possibili-
ties OF his or her role.
With the Irish Players IL was evil
dent that a fine spirit of harmony
prevails, a spirit which pervades the
performance and puts the play first,
rather than any individual perform
er. Their presentation OF The
White Headed Boy" gave ample in
dication Of their long association to-
gether. Arthur Sinclair was q mem
Der of the company which opened
the Abbey theater in Dublin in 1907,
and others of the cast Joined the
company IN 1907, including Marie
O'Neill, Maureen DeIany, Sidney
Morgan and Joseph O'Rourke. Hav-
ing performed all OF the best works
Of the British dramatists together.
they have developed Individual tai
ents 70 the utmost and present a
company Of more nearly balanced
abilities than is customarily seen
under the American "star" system.
a unique feature Of the scenery
was the fact that IL was so cleverlv
arranged that no one in the house.
however far TO the side he may have
been, missed any Of the action. a full
