NOTES
I cannot give the full cast of "Cathleen ni Houlihan," which was first played at St. Teresa's Hall, Dublin, on April 3, 1902, for I have been searching the cupboard of the Abbey Theatre, where we keep old Play-bills, and can find no record of it, nor did the newspapers of the time mention more than the principals. Mr. W. G. Fay played the old countryman, and Miss Quinn his wife, while Miss Maude Gonne was Cathleen ni Houlihan, and very magnificently she played. The Play has been constantly revived, and has, I imagine, been played more often than any other, except perhaps Lady Gregory's "Spreading the News," at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin.
The "Hour-Glass" was first played at the Molesworth Hall, Dublin, on March 14, 1903, with the following cast:—

| Her children, | Eithne and Padragan ni Shiubhlaigh |
| { P. I. Kelly, | |
| Her pupils, | { Seumas O'Sullivan |
| { P. Colum | |
| { P. MacShiubhlaigh | |
| The Angel, | Maire ni Shiubhlaigh |
| The Fool, | F. J. Fay |
The Play has been revived many times since then as a part of the repertoire at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin.
