PALACE THEATRE.
“IRISH HEARTS.” “Irish Hearts”, featuring. May McAvo.v, opens at to-day’s matinee at tile Palace. Here at last is a comedy which does not caricature, but characterises. Here aro the Irish as they are. May McAvoy has never appeared so adorable. As Patsy Shannon, the colleen who leaves Ireland! to find her lover Emmett, in America, and instead finds Hard work, sorrow, struggle, and to counteract all the bad luck which came about By loss or a shamrock brooch) —Timmie O’Shay—she is irresistible. Patsy Shannon frees the Irish that is May McAvoy. Jason •* Robards gives a hue performance as 'the rough-neck Tim, and Warner Richmond can bedepended on always. He is Emmett, the false lover. Kathleen Key as the up-to-date girl, who Wins Emmett away from Patsy, is well cast. No review of “Irish Hearts” would be complete without mention of that old' trouper, Walter Perry, who plays the tippling, tantalising, braggart dad to Patsy. Byron Haskin has “Irish Hearts” as his second directorial piece. His lirst “Matinee Ladies.” which was censored in Australia, also starred Miss McAvoy. Botii are examples of mar vellous insight into character and of technical skill.
