on the stage There is not feature in 1t
without a moral, and each act intensiies
the interest and chains the attention OF
every one. To see the act where Joe
Morgan Gmpersonated by Robt.J. Walker

ing daughter, Mary, who was struck the
cruel blow by Simon Sade, is an sIpe-
rience that will last for months-Morgan''

and drunken struggles are indcscribab BILE
It must be seen to be appreciated, and no
one should miss it. The cast OF the COM
pany is all good. It is an excellent drama
and for an excellent cause, viz: for the
benefit Of the Union Sunday-scbool. 1t
will be played on May lst and End. They
invite all TO come.
