“The Irish Queen”.  Some little advance applause.  Mag is aging very rapidly, her voice is fading.  Can anybody imagine the Irish Queen singing that beautiful ballad entitled “Bye Bye Dearie”.  If it were not for the assistance of the boy in the box and the audience she would have fallen into the arms of “Mephisto”.  They stood for it and they finally compelled her to sing “Throw ‘Em Down, M’Clunkey” and with the assistance of the stage hands, including the property man who is bigger than Mag, she did fairly well.  21 min. in 1.
