Kathleen O'Neil; or, A Picture of Feudal Times in Ireland. A National Melodrama of the Fourteenth Century, in Three Acts. Philadelphia, 1832. 16mo, pp. 84.
Scenes I. and II. of Act I. of Kathleen O'Neil were first published in Vol. 1 of The Irish Shield and Monthly Milesian, a monthly journal edited by Geo. Pepper, in New York, in 1829. Vol. I., of this periodical was, I believe, all that was issued, and the play was therefore probably never issued complete except as a separate publication.
Played at the Lafayette Theatre, New York.
(The Lafayette Theatre was burned on the night of April 10, 1829, and never rebuilt).
