Here is a complete recipe for a sue
cesslul melo- drama of the period: An
explosion, a murder by pistol another by

| erty-stricken heroine in boys clothes,
an outrageously exaggerated Jew, a
heavy, black-muzzled, low-browed vii
liam, a silk-hatted and black-coated
| scoundrel, burning raft in mid-ocean,
a callous, flinty-hearted father and q
maudlin, sentimentally agonizing hero,
red fire, thunder, snow, rain and we'll
managed sea cloth. Mix well, add a
lot of incOherent platitudes and highly
spiced EXPLANATIONS for ten persons, to-
gether with dash of bar room slang.
| Flavor with a few local street with
cisms, and serve with pizzicatO music.
The william of the latest London mclo-
drama, Pluck, is bigamist, forger,
murderer, a railroad wrecker, and an
incendiary. Ii is through him that
some fine scenic displays are given,
notably a smash up on railroad in the
mouth of a tunnel. The stage is fairly
filled up with the broken cars, engines
and baggage, suitably interspersed with
smashed men and women. This has
been arranged by the william to kill off
the good people in the play. He escapes
during the confusion of the disaster, and
gets around in time to come up smiling
for a murder in the next act. Here he
slays a banker and buries him in his
own vault. Afterward, having assem-
bled most of the innocent people in one
house, he sets fire to it, and tries to
throw the hero into the blaze. But
the hero has muscle, and not only puts
the william into his own fire, but pulls
the good folks out. ....-
