LOTHRoP's OPERA HOUSE.
"a Barrel of Money" Received "a
Royal Reception.

The story of [" A Barrel of Money! as
told by Jack Tucker and the stock COM
pany at Lothrop's Opera House this week
is simple and interesting: Roxanna Gar
rison, known as Roxy, the niece of Amos
Garrison, a wealthy mill owner, has been
defrauded of her property by her uncle,
who has, however. resolved to make resti-
tuition. just as he Is about to do this, he
has paralytic stroke which unbalances his
mind. His confidential ,lerk, Harrison
Swift, takes advantage of the situation to
secure absolute control of the mill own
er's property, and by representing that
Garrison was almost bankrupt, coerces
his daughter Helen into marriage. Roxy.
bright country girl, discovers the plot
of Swift and Jim Rich, his accomplice, to
dispossess Roxy. She learns that these
two are going TO the iron works at
night to find the papers in the Office.
Roxy gets Jim out Of the way and with
the aid OF Hy Hazlitt, hC faithful adorer,
she enters the works in the hopes of foil
ing the plot. Swift has insured the works
for all they will carry, and intends to de-
stroy them by fire and fasten suspicion on
the workingmen who are about to
strike. He arrives, discovers Roxy and Hy,
and a series Of startling situations follow,
which end by Swift, having locked Hy in
the office, dragging Roxy into the engine
room, and tying her on one of the huge
revolving belts, sets the monster steam
engine in motion. The belt beg ins to re-
volve and the unfortunate girl is only saved
from horrible death by Hy, who hears
her cries above the din OF the engine, bat
ters down the door, rushes in and tears
Roxy from the fatal band just in time TO
save her life. Everything comes out all
right in the last act.
Two large audiences, the one in the
evening filling the house, had great
time. The play and the playing Just
suited them and applause was generous
and merited. At times the situations and
acting were intense, and the spectators
were wrought up to high pitch OF
excitement. "A Barrel of Money!
Is just the sort of entertainment
for this time OF year, being
chock full of fun and hair-raising melo-
drama and it is worked up finely by Jack
Tucker,as lin Rich; j. Francis Kirk, as
Harrison Swift 0rson Dunn as Amos
Garrison; James Hall as Hy nazlitt: and
Miss Eva Williams as Roxy. The latter
was particularly pleasing by her spright-
ly work. Mr.. Tucker is good comedian
and his specialties alone are worth the
price of admission. "a Barrel of Money!
is worth seeing and large audiences will
be the rule at Lothrop's this week
