ChnuncOy Oleotl. who has been
before the public as a star In Irish
dramas for thirteen years, has round
his best vehicle. It Is said. In his
now play, "Eileen Asthorq," which
will be presented at tho Academy
tonight.
The play has n romantic theme
and does not deal with political
machinations, a fault from which
so ninny Irish plays suffer. Tho
story Is a simple one of a young chap
who has begun life lugloriously
by a over-indulgence In wine
and cards and when at the point
of bankruptcy Is for making n run
of It to escape the consequences
when n chance meeting with a pret?
ty woman completely changes his
plans and sets about a reformation
with the avowed object of winning
j her for a wire. The scones are laid
In and around Dublin dining the
(early years of the last century,
when the Robert Ennnett revolt was
at its height and Napoleon was ter?
rorizing the continent of Europe
With his wars.
To the delight of ftis admirers, too,
Mr. Olcolt sings four new songs,
written and composed by him es?
pecially lor this production.
