MISS MAIRE O'NEIL, IRISH ACTRESS, MAKING HER AMERICAN DEBUT IN "GENERAL JOHN REGAN."

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.--Seems as if it would be a fine thing for the stage if more preachers would write plays. Maybe not maybo only once in a cycle of preachers i? there one who would write such a play :is "(U neral John ReKnn." It in the work of Rev. Jos. Owen I fan nay, who has written fiction under the pen name of Geo. A. Birmingham. It was the nicest success of the London theatrical season of 1012-12, and the Lit' blurs Jiave brouarht It to the Hudson .theater. Into the little Irish village of RaJlymoy comes an American tourist with a tast for jokes. The place Is sleepy, and he decides to Ftir it up. Ho inquires for the statue of GeiuTal John lietran, that famous patriot find Midler, who was born in RaJlymoy, and later became "the immortal founder of the liberties of the Republic of Bolivia." There is no Ftntue. because there never was any General Jo'xa Rt an. Rut there is a clever village doctor .vho sees a fino opportunity to brim? renown and currency to Ballymoy. The doctor knows quite well that the American Is "kiddincr." But h- doesn't pny so. He enlists the, landlord of the villatre. inn. the editor of the local paper, the parish priest and a country squire. They invent a birthplace for the fTeneraJ, thoy discover a surviving Krand niece in the person. of the landlord's slatternly servant Kirl. The- v lingers .subscrib' a few pounds toward a statue; the- American Fiibfvcr.'bes 100 pounds. They buy a second-hand elliy of some sinqii-lar-looklnsr beinp from the landlord's nephew, a tombstone dealer, for SO pounds. "Which lets them out of their subscriptions and leaves them 20pounds' profit. The lord lieutenant of Ireland is invited to the unveiling, with other notables. Tho occasion Late News From the Surrounding Towns iu:i:kii: springs. Tlio "Wednesday club met Wednesday evening with Miss Nina Sparks. A report of the annual meeting of tiie County Federation, of clubs was piven by the local delegation. A review of the -Blue Bird'' by Maeterlinck was piven by Miss Nina Sparks and Miss Cora Barkhursi. After the business meeting several musical numbers were enjoyt d. J. Kelsey returned to his home in Chicago Thursilay after a few days' visit with friends here. The Girls' Prayer band met Wednesday evening in the reading rooms "uith Miss Ada King leader of the devotional exercises. A beautiful letter from M.rs. George T. Stephens, who is now in Mentne, Iniliana. was read in the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Howe, of Sioux City. South Iakota. have been visitors at tho home of the latter's cousin. Wallace Burgoyne. Mr. and Mrs. Howe, w . re herme on their wedding trip. Mrs. Howe was formerly Miss Hazel Hunt of this place. Mrs. Elbn Hester has returned from a two weeks' visit with her daughter, Mrs. J. I. Bowen, in Chicago. Wedn'-vV.a:,- $ people including the High School tuind. left on a special car at 1 o'clock for Mentone, Indiana, to attend the evar. holistic service being held by Rev. George T. Stephens in that place. At Warsaw they were met by Evangelist "Bob" Jones of Alabama, who is holding revival services in that city and taken to the tabernaole. vh.-r a short serviee was hoM. When they reached Mentone. thf Stephens party were ;tt the car to meet them and gave them a royal welcome. Most of our party carried their lunehe with them ;m.i hot coffee wa-s served at the tabernacle by the Mentone people. At the evening service the tabernacle was packed to the floors. The band played several numbers on the street and 'also assisted in the music at the tabern:vcle. Alvln. Willis gave a trambor.e solo at the evening service.

will be used to ask governmental appropriations for Ballymoy. The great day comes. The slatternly girl, in a costume of green tulle, with gilt wings, is to unveil the statue in the village market place. In place of the lord lieutenant conies his aide-de-camp to inquire why this hoax has been attempted upon the great man and to demand an apology. Instead of which, the doctrw badgers and cajoles the aide-de-camp into accepting an illuminated address, taking off his hat, making a speech of eulogy concerning the imaginary general and listening to "The Wearing of the Green," which, the doctor tells the aide-de-camp, who has a "bad ear for music," is the national anthem of Bolivia! The American is so delighted with the way the Irishmen hvo beaten him at his own game that he makes a -much larger contribution to the prosperity of Ballymoy before bidding farewell to the curious cfhgy which henceforth must adorn their market-place, and the little play ends with everyone perfectly happy except the mullled and exasperated English aide-de-camp, -who has only the most confused idea of the entire proceedings. Arnold "Daly, as the doctor, heads a wonderfully well-selected cast. W. G. Fay, as the fussy, greasy little editor, surpasses them all. "I can't write an article In my paper concernin? a man I know nothing about!" he protests. "My good man," replies the doctor, "your paper is full of articles every week concerning topics that you know nothing about." The play of Irish wit is continual and uproarious. Miss Maire (NOT Marie, please) O'Xelll is the slovenly litle servant, and a charming little slattern she makes. She has leys than fifty word? to speak In the whole play, and the other 'women in the cast count for even less. es.
