Go to the Third Avenue theater for Ward’s Finnigan Wake nostalgia
A reminiscence praising Jas M Ward at the Third Avenue theater for singing Finnigan's Wake and recalling Harrigan Hart and other old New York acts. The piece notes Ward's unique Irish character, the enduring charm of the old Theater Comique, and contrasts with modern theater, urging readers to revisit the past for a moment of youth. It also mentions Through by Daylight and John Cort’s Grand Opera House debut, with Frawley’s suggested ending refinement.
