CYRIL MAUDE SEASON
"Grumpy" was played for the last time at the Grand Opera House on Saturday night. To-night will serve to introduce Mr. Maude in the role of Dr. Lucius O'Grady, in the comedy of " Generai John Regan." In the little seaside in which the story is laid, political feeling runs high. Colligher, the editor of the Connaught Eagle, declares in.a most emphatic way that all the people in the town are Nationalists. As a fervid, reckless, wild, enthusiastic Home Ruler, Mr. Stephen Scanlon gives Mr. Maude such assistance that the piece is a scream from start to finish. An Irishman who threatens a riot if ■•" God Save the King " is played on the arrival of the Lieut. - Governor, he refuses to pollute his lips by naming the tune when the band plays "Rule Britannia." All tha protestations of the doctor, that it was an old Irish battle hymn, cannot convince 'Colligher, who signifies his intention of running amok. "General John Regan" will be repeated. to-morrow night, and will be preceded each evening by the. screen scene from "The School for Scandal." The last two nights of the season—Wednesday and Thursda-v—will bring forth "Caste."
