...loving public, and a picture taken from real life; the characters of Hogan and Brogan being portrayed by the great comedians Gilmore and Leonard, rightfully known as Ireland's Kings, supported by a company of reputable performers of rare ability. Speaking of wasted energy, one can not cease to marvel at the large ingenuity expended in this creation.

"The Profligate," which she has selected for her opening, is said to be one of the most powerful dramas, and is a marvel of superb diction, trenchant English and dramatic surprises without number. "The Profligate" has been recently produced, and wherever seen has met with the greatest approbation. The company surrounding her will be one of undoubted excellence, as there are many strong parts in this new play, requiring accuracy and merit. Miss Burroughs...
