Of course twine are extravagant, but Fo is “Abie’s Irish Rose,” whioh opened inst night at the Fulton Theatre. Te seems strange that this simple expedient was never dreamed of in the philosophy of the late Mr. Hatrigan. And then again it doesn’t, for it takes © woman to get hold of an idea of this kind and make tho most of it. ‘This isn't saying that Anne Nichols might not have made more of it, con- sidering the fact that Abie and Rose were married three times, but on the ucher hand perhaps she didn’t care to appear wasteful.
