" Lucky O'Shea," the play Mr. ■ Allen Doone is to open in here on May 18, is one of the later plays of Theo Burt Sayre, and one the success of which wa« never for a moment in doubi. It takes us away from the doubled Ir land of to-day baak to the Ireland which supplied Napoleon with so many gallant officers and men. It is whilst disguised as a gipsy in the Prussian camp that Larry O'Shea (an officer in the French Army) is forced by a coarse and brutal officer into a marriage with- Rose McMidhael, who has been brought into camp as a pri-

soner. The gipsy is supposed to be killed, but Larry is not so easily disposed of. He only gives it out that he has been killed so that he may be free to win the fair Rose as himself. As a popular actor in Dublin, he gets ample opportunity to play his suit and does so with ever-increasing ardour until he finds a rascally French officer representing himself to be the gipsy whom Rose married under compulsion in the Prussian camp. This is too mu* for Larry, who soon proves that he and no other is the law ful husband of the woman the French man would wed. The story is told with infinite wit and skill and throughout its unravelling Larry O'Shea is th2 central figure. The season is for two rights on Saturday, May 19, "Molly Bawn " will be. presented. The plans are on view at Oates music stores.
