Scene From "Arrah-Na-Pogue", at the Princess's Theatre, 1865. London stage production. 'The beautiful scene which we have selected for one of our Illustrations will be recognised immediately by all who have witnessed, during the last three months, the representation of Mr. Dion Boucicault's very interesting dramatic story at the Princess's Theatre. It is a piece of characteristic Irish scenery, with a round tower, a broken arch, a lonely road-side, a river shining in the moonlight, and the barren hills of the dim background overlooking the lovers' trysting-place. Mr. Telbin's pictorial skill has, in this instance, provided the most effective accessories to the acting of the representatives of Beamish M'Coul and his sweetheart. The play continues to be performed with an undiminished share of public favour'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
