“‘Shamus O’Brien’ is not quite ready yet, so a few more evenings with the ‘Colleen Bawn’ will be given.  Give the new piece plenty of rehearsal, Daniel, and don’t produce it until every performer in it is well up in his or her part, until the business and effects have been thoroughly gone through with and tried; for on the success of the ‘Bould Boy of Glengall’ may depend your future chances on the white boards.”
