Hartley Manners' comedy, "Peg O' My Heart," with Elsa Ryan and the New York company will be the attraction for the Whitney Theatre, early in December. This refreshing, vehicle is said to be the most appeal- ing, cleanest and most absorbing play that has appeared in twenty-five years and it's wondrous record of 700 per- formances in New York would indi- cate it's success. It tells the story of an Irish-Ameri- can girl who is suddenly brought to England to take up her home with un- known relatives. They are interested in the child merely for the income that is offered for her education and do not see the good in her as she lacks the manners of the social class. Her ignorance of their ways leads to many laughable moments, and through the entire plot is woven a delicate love story with its touches of pathos, ' charms, and comedy. 1O'Iara Will Sing Balfe's Masterpiece Fiske O'Hara will introduce Balfe's last song, "Killarney" in his new play "Jack's Roi ance."

The act is replete with comedy situ- ations and tingles with syncopating refrains which keep buzzing in one's musical ear long after having heard them sung. "Guess We've Fallen in Love," I'My Mississippi Miss" and "Ghosts of Sorority Days" are three ensemble numbers that always get over. especially well. "Just Imagina- tion," Mr. Hoagley's talk-song, is un- questionably the cleverest bit that this versatile LaSalle Opera House, Chi- cago, juvenile has ever done. Mr: Dale's singing of, "My Mississippi Miss" followed by Mr. Edwards stren- uous acrobatic terpsichorean chorus, which is all -the more accentuated by Miss, Van's sylph-like and agile soci- ety dancing steps, are individual spec- ialties-which add interesting variety to the twenty-four minutes of enter- tainment assured in this act.

Fiske O'Hara, the favorite singing actor, will present Augustus Piton's latest romance of Irish life, entitled, "Jack's Romance," at the Whitney Theatre, Saturday Night, Nov. 21. The story tells of the adventures of Jack Connolly, a young Irish aristocrat, who on account of having parted in anger from his brother some years previous, is returning in disguise to his native place in order that he may better ob- serve conditions in his old home and learn if his kinsman still retains any bitter feeling towards him. He meets with a series of adventures on the way. His first adventure is an accidental stumbling on a hold-up on the high- way. The fair Lady Constance Butler, a daughter of the Duke of Ormonde, is travelling with her maid and her coach is stopped within a stone's throw of the Connolly Manor, by a knight of the road. Jack's coming puts the robber to flight and he re- ceives the grateful thanks of the fair occupant. The villagers, learning of the robbery, seize on Jack as the high- wayman and are about to put him in the stocks, when Lady Constance comes to his aid. Still unrecognized, Jack obtains a position in his brother's household as an accountant and there makes love to the fair Constance, 'who, accepts his attentions, although he is supposed to be but a commoner. Jack makes the discovery that the private secre- tary of his brother, Edmund Farley, has been paying attentions to Lady Elizabeth Connolly, his brother's wife, who has become infatuated with the man. He saves the honor of his sis- ter-in-law and establishes the identity of the secretary as the highwayman. The latter is compelled to disgorge the proceeds of his robberies, which are distributed among their rightful own- ers. Jack reveals his own identity, is reconciled to his brother and wins the fair Lady Constance. One of the most attractive features of the per- formance, of course, will be the songs of Mr. O'Hara, whose rich tenor voice will be heard in several fine numbers, among which Are "You and I," "The {Highwayman," "Colleen - Machree," Balfe's "Killarney" and Tosti's fav- orite song, "Beauty's Eyes." Manager Pitou has surrounded his star with a splendid company and has mounted the piece in a lavish manner.

"The Little Modiste" will be seen at the Majestic Theatre for three nights and two matiness com- mencing Thursday, Nov. 19.
