PALACE THEATRE.
IRISH HEARTS.
“Irish Hearts,” the delightful Irish story with May McAvoy in the leading role, was thoroughly enjoyed by”all who saw it at the Palace Theatre last evening. Here at- Jast is a comedy which does not caricature, but- characterises. Here are the Irish as they are. May McAvoy has never appeared so _ altogether adorable, and that is saying a great deal. Patsy Shannon, the colleen who leaves Ireland to find her lover Emmett, in America, and instead finds hard work: In her struggle to counteract all the bad luck (which came about bv loss of a shamrock brooch)—-Timmie O’Shay—is irresistible. Patsy Shannon frees the Irish that is .May McAvoy. All the fun and! the fire and the tenderness are in her own heart. Jason RoCards lives a line nerformanee as the rough-neck Tim, and Warner Richmond 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 bo complete without mention of that old trouper, AAffiltei J’erry, who plays the tippling, tantalising braggart dad to Patsy. His performance is a-s nearly perfect as any can be. “Irish Hearts” will be finally screened to-night.
