HERE He rs AGAIN.
The great sensational melOdrama,
Ragged jack which met with Such,a
remarkable success when it was pro-
duced at the Peoples theater two weeks
ago, will he presented again next week.
The play was most enthusiastically re-
ceived when it was first seen, and the
audience increased nightly. It is one of
a strong, dramatic one, and it has those
sensational elements which are so es-
sential to the success OF the modern
melOdranla. Then, too, there is a
wealth of comedy and number of ex-
cellent specialties. The scenic and
mechanical effects are among the most
remarkable ever seen upon the stage.
The locomotive which is introduced in
the second act is constructed with such
fidelity that the most critical can find
nothing wanting in it. The fire scene
is another realistic scene. The cast is
very good one, indeed, the character
work particularly being very fine.
