PAT MALLOY. |
|||
The song of "Pat Malloy" occurs in the play of "Arrah na Pogue." Its author, Dion Boucicault, actor and dramatic writer, was born in Dublin, December 26,1822. His father, a French refugee, was a merchant in that city. The son was educated in England. Among the multitude of plays which he has written or adapted, is the representation of " Rip Van Winkle," which Joseph Jefferson has made so popular. Boucicault has spent a great deal of time in this country, although London is his home. |
