"Old Liineiick Town"
Mr. Clinmicoy Olcott Ih ambitious to
have hla funic inenn sotin'thhiff moro
than Unit Jio Hlngn love tmllads ex
quisitely. In hla now piny, "Old Lim
erick Town," ho linn the most Rcrlnttn
mid the best piny ot his career, nun to
bo In keeping with his piny Mr. Olnott
does his most serious nml his best
work There is more nctlng uiul less
nong In "Old Limerick Town" than In
nny of the preceding Olcott plays. Thts
nmy be a disappointment- to many of
the ndmlrors of the handsome bnllnd
Hlngcr, but It has ltn compensations,
for It reveals in the star histrionic pos
sibilities not generally appreciated bo
fore. "Old Limerick Town" 1.4 a four-act
drama, and ns the name Indicate the
scone Is laid In Limerick, Irelnnd, In
ihe years 183", nnd ISM. It Is u drama
of the romantlo school, nnd Is gorgeous
ly staged and no less gorgeously cos
tumed. Tho story revolves about Noll
O'Brien (Olcott), a young1 Irish gentle
man, who came. Into ti snug for
luno upon the death of his father, a
lace manufacturer. Nell Is a light
hearted, generous, chivalrous youth,
nnd when the play opens he finds him
self on the verge of bankruptcy, be
cause or his frivolous life and expensive
habits, assisted by the machinations of
nn English captain nnd tools lio makes
una ot; ihe purpose being to wreck
O'Brien's prospects of winning tho
hand of Norcen Buike.
His misfortunes brine out the latent
resources and manhood of O'Brien. He
assumes charge of the factory and &oon
wins back the position In the world
that he hud lost, and makes a captive
of the fair Noreen as well.
During the play Mr. Olcott sang "The
Limerick Girls," "The Voice of the Vio
let," and "Noreen Mavourneeen," with
itha voice and method that are so dis
tinctively ills own. Needless to say he
.was encored. "Noreen Mavourneen" Is
eung in the third act, utid to oncore It
spoils one of the best scenes In tho
play. It was encored last night so vig
orously and persistently that after a
half-dozen efforts to proceed with the
dialogue that follows tho close of the
Kong, Mr. Olcott very reluctant!- had
to give the audience its way. The song
bhould be shifted to some other part of
the play, where It will do less harm it
Mr. Olcott's audiences cannot be In
duced to express their appreciation less
insistently.
Mr. Olcott has the assistance of a
'fine company In presenting "Old Lim
erick Town," which will be repeated at
the Lyceum tonight. Last night's audi
ence was a very large one.
''The Flaming Arrow."
Lincoln J. Carter's realistic produc
tion, "The Flaming Arrow," was pre
sented to two well pleased audiences at
the Academy yesterday. The play has
been produced here on two occasions
before and has always been very pop
ular with local theatre-goers. The com
pany this year is even better than last
year.
The play centers around the Indian
princess, Go-AVon-Go-Mohawk, who as
sumes the role of AVhite Eagle In a
very creditable manner. She- was ably
hiipported by Charles Charles as Col.
Fremont, Frank Patton as lieutenant
Brightly, Wilbur Collins as Senor Pa
ledo a Mexican, Guy Haekney as Snow
3all, a negro servant: Larry Hnggerty
as Jerry, one of tho lighting Irish, and
a number of full blooded Indian chiefs.
The scenery is new and elaborate and
the costumes are in excellent taste and
historically correct.
A genuine Indian brass band is one
ot the features ot the production, as is
also the coon songs and danelrig ot Uuy
llnokney. Two more performances ot
"The Flaming Arrow" will be given Ibis
afternoon nnd evening.
"Tho Innocent Maids."
An Innocent audience gathered at the
Star yesteulny to witness the perform
ance by the "Innocent Mnlds," and the
audience Is probably wiser. The pro
gramme presented by the Mnlds con
tains some meritorious features, but
much of the entertainment Is made up
of ancient Jokes nnd stage business
made doubly tiresome by being mutil
ated In the tepetltlon. The Burke
Brothers and their educated quadruped
have been In past famed for their orlg-'
lnallty and welcomed by lovers of fun;
but tlie one man "Burke Brothcis" act
presented by the "Innocent Mnlds"
would soon make the title something to
bo regarded with dread If allowed to
roam about unrestricted. I
Ilnttle Mills, the lady with a mega-1
phone voice, gave a pleasing rendition
of vocal gems, nnd the chums also pre
sented some of the popular songs In a
meritorious manner. It Is evident, how
ever, that the company are victims of
an amateur musical composer. "The
Innocent Maids will be nt the Star tho ,
balance of the week, afternoon and ev
ening. Next week Ed Hush's Bon Ton
Burlesquers will be the attraction,

Christmas nt the Lyceum.
Penman Thompson and George AV.
Ryder's "Our New Minister," comes to
the Lyceum Christmas afternoon and
evening. This new play, portrayed by
an excellent company of plnyeis, Is
getting a hold on the popular heart
like "The Old Homestead."
It is excellently staged, Its scenery
realistic to a great degree, and the I
vivid portrayals of character and ef
fective scenic blending makes the play
one that will live for years. Last year's
company is retained, and a magnificent
scenic production is carried. Seats on
sale Tuesday at it a. m.
"San Toy," Next Week. v
Daintily dreamy and graceful Is the
music of "San Toy'" tho Chinese
English musical comedy, which is to
be seen at the Lyceum Saturday mat
inee and night, Dec. 27. This Is the
musical comedy which has accom
plished the unprecedented feat of hav
ing made three distinct and separate
runs at Daly's theater, New York, each'
of many weeks' duration. No other
play of this description has ever done
the same thing at a Broadway theater.
The Augustin Daly Musical Com
pany, which is to bo seen heie In
'San Toy," is one of the very best or
ganizations travelling.
Chester De Vonde Company.
The opening performance ot Chester
de Vonde, at the Academy Monday
afternoon in "Ten Ton Door," will be
of a nature to Insure this clever young
actor a fine week's business. Mr. De
Vondo prides himself upon this pro
duction to no greater extent than he
does upon every play ho presents, yet
it Is a very strong, exciting and Inter
esting offering, which has never yet
failed to create a lasting Impression.
Scenically it is a marvel of beauty
and from an acting standpoint draws
upon every resource at Mr. DeVonde's
command.
Each play in Mr. DeVonde's reper
toire is a gem. Monday night, The
Bond of Honor." Seats on sale this
morning nt fl, except of Christmas
matinee and night, which will open
Tuesday at 9 a. m.
