Leonard Growers comedy drama, 1.-THE
Wolves of New York." begins its season
at the Union Square Theater in October
The play made good impression at the
Boston Theater last season. The variety,
novelty and interest of its scenes and
characters, its faithful pictures of low
life, its fine contrast of city and country,
it's excitement. pathos, humor and sensa-
tional effects make it play which should
win large popularity. There is scene
in the last act of this play which arouses
the greatest excitement. The buzz-saw,
the breaking of real glass windows, the
dashing fire engines and the struggles in
real water, to which audiences have been
treated of late, are not a circumstance to
this scene in the way of sensational real
ism.
