Among the dramatic studies which have (illuminated & long career, Helen Fergus expresses a strong preference for Mrs O’Connor, "Mother Machree,” whose great love for her two sons is the keynote of the story. In addition to playing the role of her self-sacrificing son, Denis Kehoe employs his Irish harp, onei of the few, models extant, to accompany his songs.' Ronald Riley, Gwen Dor iso, Maurice Lynch, Tom Buckley, Aileen Dunne, Chas. Keegan, and Bernard Beeby complete a strong cast. The box. plan is open at Flatt’s.
