MELo-DRAMA AGAIN.
We are to have no end Of melo-drama next sea-
son. The fever Is to run higher than ever. Lurid
plays Of the most sensational character are to be
produced at all the leading theaters, including
Days and Booths. Wallach's and the Union
Square are already in this line, you know. II Mr..
Abbey should fail to get Nilsson, which is not i'm
probable, for the Grand Opera House, Jay Gould,
no doubt will get piece Of the most startling
character and put it on. The managers say that
ploSion5, ship-wrecks and deeds OF violence, be-
cause it puts money into the ir pockets. OF the
new pieces s'The Ba OK Flag" is to be brought out
at Days, ''Taken from Life" at the Union Square
and mankind" at Booths Com binations win GO
fractions ' as New Ba s " SH and he
Metropolis" These plays are not yet known tc
The public, but the names are suggestive.

fact, guess the truth of the matter Is that She
Will be most advertised as beautiful woman.
She Is tall and 1.-the, with immense black eyes
and small mouth with glittering little teeth.
Her face IS so light that she bushes visibiy In q
