Blaney's temperance drama, written for the Stair and Havlin circuit, opened first at the Arch Street Theatre in Philadelphia, which he managed. Once in New York, it ran for just 16 performances, first at The American Theatre and then the West End. Fiske O'Hara, the well-respected tenor, contributed songs such as "Rollicking Blarney O" and "Sunbeam of My Heart." |
