THEATER. - The "Streuts OF New |
York" was much better performed last
night than on the previous evening.
The long delays between the acts Incl
dental to the first production of such
heavy piece were avoided last night, and
altogether the performance was good.
The plot of the play is this: Gideon
Bloodgood, wealthy banker of New
York, is on the eve of absconding. His
clerk, Badger, suspecting his design,
watches all his movements closely. On
the day he determines to leave a Captain
Fairweather enters the bank and makes
a deposit of several thousand dollars.
The Captain is gone but few minutes,
when he discovers that his money is
badly invested, and returns to with
draw it; but Bloodgood refuses to
refund, and, through excitement,
the Captain dies instantly of appoplexy.
Twenty years after the family of the
Captain are in poverty, while the fraud
ulent banker is fourishing in wealth.
Badger, the clerk, meantime returns
from California, and, still retaining the
receipt for Fairweather's money, signed
by Bloodgood. A great portion of the
play is taken up with the plots of Blood
good, to obtain possession of this re-
cept, and Badgers counterplots. BY a
coincidence the Fairweathers and Badger
are lodging in the same tenement house
at Five Points" and Bloodgood, know
ing that such is the fact, determine to
, burn the building. so that the only d.
, rect legal proof of his former vii
lainy would perish in the flames. To
, consummate this, he enters the house
ut some time after the Fairweathers re-
moval to another place and sets fire to
thu building. Dan, boy attached tc
t Washington No. H." discovers the fire
and Badger standing by when the alarm
, is given. All rush for the burning build
ing Badger enters, and breaks ont of al
upper window enveloped in flames, will
r the document in his hand; he falls ex
! hausted; splendid tableaux is formed
Il with the burning building in the back
ground. Bloodgood's villainy is ct las
0 brought home, and the Fairweather
q come in for their own property. Their
s are several good characters incidental t.
e the piece and, altogether it makes up tn
\ most attractive bill yet offered here. To
o night will be the last night of this grea
u play. Tomorrow night Queen Eliza
