“The ‘Colleen Bawn’ was to be withdrawn, but its plaisteristic power has developed so wonderfully that Mr. Moss has wisely concluded, for the dear public’s sake, to make a small fortune every week, and therefore Daniel will shoulder his whisky keg and shout his songareens and enact the virtuous Celt every night during the week. It is hardly fair to remember only the one who made the most money. The rest of the company in their several roles are equally excellent.”
