ALLEN DOONE COMPANY.

"MOLLY BAWN.'i

One of the most remarkable actors of the present day is Allen Doone, IrishAmerican actor, song author, and play producer, who has a personality both on and off the stage that has won himt so many friends and admirers. His never-tiring energy and personal supervision to all his productions have placed him and his talented company rightahead of all dramatic enterprises. It is nothing for Mr. Doone to sit for hours after playing a trying part and cojiver.se with his musical conductor and put a new thing to music that has been running through his mind during the day, or to stay back -with his mechanical staff and arrange workingmodels for his scenic effects* He has often been told that he works too hard, but he only smiles and says that he has been rewarded for his timeand trouble. In the " production of" •'Molly Buwn" this evening at the Ha.. wera Opera House, Allen Doone will be seen at his best. This piece is one - of the brightest, and perhaps the most successful,-of the modern Irish stories. Mr. Doone is introducing a number of" new and delightful songs of "his own composition, which are certain to cap- - ture the hearts of all who hear him. A first-class company has been specially engaged for this tour. The box plan is on view at Everybody's.Confectionery Store at the Opera House.
