But there the hope of another “Robin Hood" dies, ‘The rest is morely De Koven warmed over, He has rewritten everything that he wrote In the days when he and his inspiration were younger.

Ineldentally the Oleott tenor was ‘heard in a number of songs written nd composed by Chauncey himselt for this play. “Edmund Burke’ is in four acts, and is the story of the famous Irish states- man's love for Mary Nugent, his rise from an obscure youth to the prominent position In English politics, the intrimues of the Prince of Wales, who carries Mary off to his “love's nest;" the plots of a French spy and tis wife, who hopes to win Burke for her husband, and tie hnal happy union of the two lovers, ‘The Oloott songs, all of which were warmly rarcived by an enthusiastic Qndletee, were “You Can Sall in My Boat,” “The Little Bind’s Story,” “Miss Mary” and “Your Meart Alone Must Toll.” In Mr, Olcott's suonort were Dantel Jarrett as Oliver Goldamith, Edna Phit- Mpa as Mary Nuggnt, Mace Greenleaf, Verncr Clarges, Washburne, Rleanor Browning, little Gladys Millbourne Smith and Tottle Mi)l- Bourne Smith, There were violets and encores for Mr. Olcott and innumerable ‘curtain Galle which brought forth a speech.
