There we're some charming voices amongst these ydung ladies and both solos and choruses were much enjoyed. The playwas set in the house of a generousi but , np.overished Irish tiiagistr'ate, whose daughter, Shiela, could not withstand :the appealof anyone in need but whlo would give the meal off her own table to anyone. more needy. She had lovers, of course, one a poor lad, the other the nephew of the richest landlord -in the county.'. She fav'dred the impecunious rover but was somewhat coy, finally promising tlti marry him :when he cepturled a -high Waymau who had been 'robbing trav- ellers throughout the :countryside and who had eluded' capture so- often that he 'was described as, "The,,Will 0' The Wisp." .A peculiarity of this highwayman was that the rich were robbed to give to the, poor,and, one night the rich landlord's nephew,' Who; had been rout collecting rents, was Bobbed and ' the highwayman , came very near being caught ;iy Sheila's other laver, who was determined' to make the capture. , But .later, when the' old Squire' had been shot and SheiIa's favored lover was accused of the enure and she was doing ali she could tc+ save him, weird came to her that it was the nephew who had fired the fatal shot. That night the ""Will 0' The Wisp" met the nephew and, at the point of 'a gun, marched him to the home of the magistrate,' Sheila's father, where he confessed the crone. 'Phe, highwayman escap- ed, but later, on creeping into her fathers house, where her lover was waiting„ the Will 0' the Wisp was discovered to be none fcther than Sheila;' herself,--: and everything end- ed well. The parts were well taken, from vqung Danny, the grandson de the Irish housekeeper, who was a young lady dressed to represent a young boy, up to the dignified magistrate and his sharp-tongued housekeeper.
