Chauncey Olcott, the inimitable and eternal Irish lover of the Amer ican stage, appeared at the Grand Opera fiouse last night to a packed house in sl nlav as oven-flowing with blarney as Is Chauncey himself, but in whi(f'h the lady for whom the play is named does not say a word or make an appearance. Her footsteps, or rather, her. boofsteps. for "Ma llsh&', is not the heroine, bnt a highbred mare, the pride and hope of Duncannon. are heard at inter vals in her box stall. But after all when Chauncey Ol cott is in a play, the plot and most of the other characters are. of minor consideration. And when Chauncey Olcott sings well, nothing stirs but the heart of one and it fair melts in the sweetness. Mif. Olcott has been said to be getting old. He says he is o9. and that being true 59 Is the bloom of I youth. He may be -old but he cer tainly has young ideas. I Vuln lten Mentioned Only once in the whole course of the play did he allude to having. the same name as the governor Of Ore eon. It was in a scene in the second act in which he and the heroine "Pal" Boyer (Madge West") are dis cussing Sir Brian Fitzgerald's (Mr. Olcott family of children, which he hasn't at all. at all. but which looms as a possibility, and the two of them arej afflicting the children with measles, and mumps, and chicken pox, and scarlet fever. 'and croup, and' incidentally with names. Sir Brian insists: "And one q' them shall be named for Cousin Ben nice name. Ben". In the course of events the Audience got the allusion and howled its approval.
