,ISKE O'Hara. the eminent
Fl Irish actor-singer, is to ap
I pear at the Brandeis thea
ter tor tour nignts ana
Wednesday matinee, com
mencing tonight, in a new
play "The Man From Wicklow."
This year's play is a three
act comedy by Anna Nichols, and
is said to provide him with the best
part he has ever been given to play,
Mr. O'Hara appears as Robert Em
mett O'Donovan, a strapping young
Irishman of the last century. In the
first act he is in love with a young
woman named Judith Norwood, who
cares nothing for O'Donovan, but is
willing to go through a marriage cere
mony for the wealth that would come
to her with him. She hides her true
feeling, but her little sister, Eileen,
J repeats a conversation she has over
heard in which Judith reveals her true
motive in leading Robert on. He de
termines to leave Wicklow and busy
himself in an effort to forget Judith,
He returns after a number of years
to find her little girl grown into a
beautiful and charming young wo
man, and he loses his heart com
pletely at the sight of her loveliness.
The working out of their love story
is the principal incident of a very
delightful play.
Aside from the main . romance
which forms the basis of the
play, "The Man From Wicklow" is
filled with wholesome comedy and
the audience is kept in a gale of hear
ty laughter at the many unusual char
acters who help in the working out
of the story. Mr. O'Hara will be
heard in a number of new songs,
among them "What Will I Say?"
"The Princess of My Heart," "My
OJj . Irish Mother and Ireland" and
"ifLove and Adore But Thee." A
capable company will appear in the
supporting cast, including Patricia
Clary, Robert Toms, May Donnelly,
J. P. Sullivan, Lillian ShafFner, J. E.
Miller, . Hattie Foley, William T.
Sheehan and William Loman.
"Her Unborn Child" will be pre
sented at the Boyd for four nights,
commencing matinee today with daily
matinees. The play is the work of
Howard McKent Barnes, a young
American dramatist. Out of courtesy
to the women, th daily matinee per
formance will be reserved exclusively
for the women. Men will be admitted
to all other performances.
Sentiment, mystery and adventure
mixed in a play that appeals to play
goers of every age and class, account
for the tremendous luccess of "The
Thirteenth Chair," Bayard Veiller's
dramatic thrill, which will be the at
traction at the Boyd for three nights,
begining next Thursday with matinee
Saturday. This play was a success
of successes in New York last year,
when it ran for twelve months at
one theater, drawing crowded houses
during the height of the summer sea
son just as easily as it did in mid-winter.
The company which will per-
orm the piece here is headed by
Catherine Gray and in the case of
every other one of the sixteen char
acters Manager William Harris, jr.,
displayed equal care and judgment
before making his selection. Brinsley
Shaw has the role of Inspector
Donahue, next in importance to that
played by Miss Gray, and every other
member of the cast boasts an enviable
reputation, founded upon a series of
more than creditabh performances.
As for the production that will be
down to the smallest detail of prop
erties identical with the original which
occupied the stagi of the Forty
eighth Street theater in New York
for SO long, seats arc now un auc.
The Brandeis Players will return
from their trip to, Lincoln on next
Thursday morning, October 4, and re
open at the Brandeis that evening
in the cheerful comedy of optimism.
"The Road to Happiness," which will
be the bill for the ten days follow-
rATtflt
'uni
ing, with the usual matinees and a
special matinee on Friday, October
5. In this play Mr. Minturn acts
a young country boy who makes a
living for himself and invalid mother
by doing odd jobs about the small
town in which he lives, while his
nights he spends in the study of law
under the tutorship of an old country
judge. So well does the boy progress
in his studies that he is shown at the
end of the play, just a year after the
first act, t successful young attorney
much of the same type as Daniel
Vorhees Pike in "The Man From
Home." Chief among the characters
in the play is a crabbed village store
keeper, who, because of his wealth
and position, seeks to order to his
own measure the affairs of not only
his own family, but of the other vil
lagers as well. He attempts by an
unjust accusation to belittle in the
eyes of his neighbors, and especially
the village banker, his stepdaughter.
His main reason for doing this is
that he may bring about a marriage
for his daughter to the banker, who
is really in love with the stepdaugh
ter. Only one person in the entire
community dares to defy him and
that is the young law student. All
of the characters introduced are of
the type familiar to all the semi-rural
communities of our country.
Effective as an impersonator of
boys, Kathleen Clifford comes to the
Orpheum as the Ak-Sar-Ben week
headline attraction, starting today. A
second stellar event is the one to be
presented by Bert Baker, who will be
seen in the farce, "Prevarication." Half
of the songs Miss Clifford offers will
be sung in the smartest of feminine
attire. Mr. Baker's new farce, of
which he is the author, has a jealous
wife and a husband given to prevari
cation as the leading comedy ele
ments of the farce, which is acted by
a company of four people. Specially
featured is Billie Burke's "Motor
Boating," a comedy in which Tom
McRae is assisted by Hazel Clark,
Ada Brown and James Carney. The
Chinese quartet known as the Chung
Hwa Four, are admirable vocalists.
"The Girl and the Dancing Fool" is
the title of the skit to be presented by
Thomas Patricolla and Ruby Meyer.
Harold Du Kane will appear in what is
described as a futuristic dancinsr
spectacle, assisted by June Edwards
and Olga Marwig. In their study of
endurance George and Dick Rath give
a remarkable gymnastic exhibition
OTheir feats of strength are said to be
astonishing. Views or Singapore, fish
of the English channel and life in a
Mohammedan harem will be shown
in motion pictures by the Orpheum
1 ravel Weekly.
A bill of unusual excellence is of
fered at the Empress theater for the
first half of the week. Walter Dan
iels and Minna-Walters, who head the
bill, have a cleverly arranged mix
ture of merriment, music, sympathy
and patriotism. Miss Walters sings
delightfully and plays on the violin
with rare skill in accompanying her
self. She also plays as Mr. Daniels,
in old soldier's garb, tells of how
watching the boys drill carries him
back to the days of '61, when he
marched with a gun on his shoulder
to the defense of Old Glory. Dot
Marsell, who presents a "Cyclonic
Marvel of Syncopated Melody," is a
veritable bundle of syncopated melody
and she scatters it with a will. The
Creole band, a musical offering, and
the Delevan brothers, equilibrists,
complete one of the best bills ever
presented on the Empress stage.
Light, airy, dashing and snappy
describe the entertainment given by
the "Rose Svdell London Belles,"
who will be seen during the current
week at the popular Gayety theater,
as the Ak-Sar-Ben booking. George
F. Hayes, Ted Burns and Kate Pull
man, hold the first places in the
cast. Add Louise Hartman, Sam
Lewis, Frankie Burns, Dorothy
Earl and little is left to be desired.
The chorus has a wealth of pretty
girls selected as well for their sing
ing ability as their ability as dancers.
Twenty musical numbers, all of thein
new, complete a seemingly unbeatable
production of good things. Thirty
pretty girls pose as living models ii
a reproduction of a million dollar
painting. On parade days and nights
the curtain will not rise until after the
pageants have passed the Gayety.
There will be a matinee daily. To
day's matinee starts at 3.
$
A more or less allegorical comedv
drama is Ralph Thomas Kettering's
"Which One Shall 1 Marry?" whicli
will he the attraction at the Boyc
theater next Sundav for four nights
with matinees Sunday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. The essence of the play
is the mental attitude of a younp.
woman who is suddenly confronted
by the necessity of choosing between
