"A Daughter of Erin," the famou
Irish drama is probably the greatest
of Irish plays ever written. The beau
tiful story has jitst .recently been se
cured for reproduction by motion pic
tures, and Mr. Shorty the enterprise
nig manager of the Grand theatre of
this city announces that he has ok
tamed the film which will be shown
at his house for two nights and a Sun
day matinee only, namely, Saturday
night, October 10th, Sunday matinee
at 2:30 and Sunday night commcne
ing at 7 p. m.
The synopsis of the pretty drama
as set out below tells the A story
briefly, and yet, gives one a fairly
good idea of the merits of the pic
ture.'
THE STORY.
Kitty O'Coimer is the daughter of
an Irish peasant, and being a buxom
lass, is courted by many of the hand
some lads of tht village. One in
particular, Miles O'Mally, is untiring
in his efforts to win this charming
lass, and he allows no opportunty to
escape him whereby he might press
his suit for Kitty's hand.
The opening scene of the picture
shows the young couple gliding over
the glassy surface of one of the
pretty lakes of Killarncy in Miles'
new ooat. tare nee and happy in
the sunshine of their young lives,
they can see no dark clouds on their
horizon. But youth is uriheedful of
all hidden dangers, and so unsuspect
ing of any shadow that might creep
across their path, they laughingly
while away the afternoon of a beauti
ful summer day.
Charles Hardacre, a young Irish
gentleman (Patrick O'Conner's land
lord), while riding along the shores
of the lake, is attracted by the beauty
of the Irish girl in the boat, and
springing from his horse, returns her
salutation with all the grace of
polished courtier. The memory of
Kitty's pretty face lingers in his mind
long after the young couple have
passed out of sight, and obeying
mad impulse that arises in his breast,
he determines to call upon the fath
er of the little charmer and cultivate,
if possible, a closer friendship than a
mere speaking acquaintance.
The next day, accompanied by his
mother, a haughty woman and a true
daughter of the nobility, he draws
rein at the O'Conner threshold and,
much to the astonishment of these
worthy but humble people, he enters
their house and partakes of their
hospitality. While there he allows
himself to fall more deeply than ever
in love with the fascinating little
witch, and, watching his opportunity,
hastily tells her of his admiration.
Then, drawing a ring from his finger,
slips it on one of hers. The dazed
but delighted girl can only stammer
out her thanks before her lover has
gone. But the father, a wise and
careful guardian of his only child,
overhears Hardacre's protestations
and, after he has taken his leave, up
braids pretty Kitty for her fickleness
and apparent disloyalty to Miles
O'Mally, the Irish lad who has al
ways called her sweetheart. Incensed
by the seeming perfidy of young
Hardacre in trifling, as he thinks,
with his daughter's affections, the old
man hastens away to inform Miles
of the danger of losing his sweet
heart. Poor Miles is heartbroken at
the news, and his one thought is to
save Kitty from, the fate of most
girls who aspire to rise above their
station in life and wed a nobleman.
With the frenzy of despair the ex
cited lad runs to the house of Charles
Hardacre and demands' to know why
he wishes to rob him of his promised
wife.. With an insult on his lips,
young Hardacre turns to leave his
questioner, when the good right arm
of our hero straightens out and the
master of Kenmore lies prostrate on
the ground. Rushing away, Miles
soon returns to the anxious father,
and together they hasten to the little
home where Kitty, struggling be
tween the desire for an ambition and
the duty she owes her father, is wait
ing. Here Miles questions her, but
reading the truth in her downcast
eyes and her silence, bids her fare
well. . '
We now have a lapse of two years.
Kitty is a lady, but what a change
has come over the light hearted Irish
girl. Saddened by the neglect of her
husband, scorned for her low birth
by her cruel mother-in-law, we find
her beating out her young life against
the bars that seem to hold her as in a
prison cell. .Broken hearted, disap-'
pointed, she is but a bird in a gilded
cage. " j
of
he
One day while gating out of the
window, wistfully watching the birds
in" their freedom, she is startled by
the apparition of her former sweet
heart wfto, with reckless disregard
for propriety, has determined to see
his ht love at all hazards and finds
out if the reports of her unhappinesa
are true. Before she realizes what
she has done, Kitty has called the lad
into her drawing room and has begun
to question him, when they are
alarmed by the approach of the hus
band and his friend, a dissolute
young English officer of the army.
Concealing Miles behind the curtains,
she meets Hardacre and his compan
ion with a calmness born of months
f suffering. To his brutal command
to leave the room, she returns butj a
look of scorn and growing , hatred,
and with a toss of her pretty' head,
she sweeps out of their presence.
Ml ' t ' ' 1 B I
men with norror stamped upon his
face Miles, who still remains con
cealed behind the draperies, hears
fiendish plot of Hardacre to rid him
self of his young wife. Another mar
riage of vast importance is his ex
cuse, so tcrmblmg in fear and rage
young Miles hears every detail
the ghastly business.
Leaving his place of hiding,
dashes away to acquaint the unhappy
father of the proposed murder of b
child. We are next taken to the house
of a brutal scoundrel where Hard
acre completes the final arrangement
for making away with the object of
his hatred. Everything is arranged
in accordance with his wishes, and
the paid assassin and his two confed
erates are soon on their way to carry
out the grewsome contract. Forcing
their way through a window, they
come upon the helpless woman, and
before a scream can leave her tremb
ling lips, it is smothered in the fold
of a heavy cloak that is thrown over
her head. The butler, aroused by the
unusual noise, hastens to her assist
ance, but is set upon and beaten
insensibility by the murderous rogues
Carrying the now almost lifeless body
of their victim to the banks of a deep
river, where the fiendish husban
awaits to make sure of her certain
death, the three scoundrels are about
to cast her into the dark waters, when
like a thunderbolt from out a clear
sky, a boat shoots out of the dark
ness and three forms ' spring lightly
upon the shelving bank. 'Tis Miles,
with Kitty's father and a stout Irish
lad, who have arrived in the nick of
time. Now ensues as pretty a six
handed Irish fight as one could wish
to see. Now one, now another is on
top, till finally with a trick of his
own, Miles tosses the burly leader of
the murderous gang over his head,
and sends him floundering into the
murky waters below. Discouraged
by the loss of their captain, the othe
two thugs are soon defeated and
tossed in the river after their leader
Through the darkness, Hardacre
mistakes the noise of battle for the
struggle in disposing of his wretched
wife, and groping his way toward the
spot where he supposed . his hired
assassins were awaiting him, he runs
into the arms of the heroic Miles.
Springing back with a cry of fear
and surprise, he draws a keen edged
knife from his bosom and rushes up
on his hated enemy. But he reckons
not of the strong limbed and agile
rish lad, who, forcing him to his
nees, compels him to seriously
wound himself with his own weapon,
leaving him to be cared for by his
own weapon, leaving him to be cared
for by his brutal friend, the captain.
Our three heroes with their prec
ious burden make their way back to
the little cottage they call home, and
there, after many weeks of peace and
quiet, and after the law has freed
her from her unworthy husband,
Kitty O'Conner sends young Miles
to the seventh heaven of delight by
naming the day when he could call
er his own Colleen. ,
