..Lo.t In NEW York Last Night.

In advertising this play, "Lost in New

ANYTHING OF the sort ever put on the stage

shade the cleYerness OF the play, the excel
lence Of its actors, and leads to the erroneous
opinion that about all there il in the piece Is
its scenery and extraordinary parapherna-
lis.
"Lost I'm New York" was written by
Leonard Grover. 1t first bore the name OF
"Iisputh," and afterwards ~ Cad the Tom
