Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, February 24, 1900 - page 4 Maurice Gerald's Princess Dramatic Company After an absence of some two years, Mr. Gerald will renew his acquaintance in Windsor as advertised in our columns. He arranged to play a season of two nights, commencing Thursday next, March 1st - and on the following night Friday. A fine military drama, entitled "Soldiers of our Queen" will be the opening bill, and Mr. Gerald has generously arranged with the committee of the School of Arts to play for their benefit. The whole arrangements are in the hands of a sub-committee, consisting of Messrs. McCauley, Walker, Broome, and J. B. Brown, and should prove a great success. Tickets are now in circulation, and may be obtained from all members of the committee. On the following night Friday, March 2nd, the famous Irish drama 'Conn The Shaughraun' will be placed upon the boards. Mr. Gerald's excellent portrayal of Conn will be remembered, as we consider that Mr. Gerald's Company is the best that has ever visited Windsor. "The Shaughraun" is a sparkling Irish Drama. It a! bounds in thrilling incidents and pathetic developments, and never fails to draw large houses. We are all unfortunately familiar with what is called the Stage Irishman. The ridiculous caricature often raises the ire of the successful sons of Erin, and offends against all the canons of good taste, but those who saw Mr. Gerald as Conn, in "The Shaughraun" have a true and life-like portrait of the versatile Celt ; full of heartfelt pathos, and at other times bubbling over with wit and humour. No doubt our Irish friends will cordially welcome this true and playful delineation of the natural character while to all others it will remove any prejudices which may have been the outcome of the unworthy stage Irishman alluded to. During the action of "The Shaughraun," "The Wearing of the Green," and "Killarney" will be sung by Miss Nella Raynham, and "Sons of the Sea" and "Soldiers of the Queen" will be introduced in the drama.
