Among the principal scenes are the great East riv- CT bridge by moonlight, the pile driver at work, which alone form g magnificent stage picture and the acme of realism. The play porsrays vividly and picturesquely every day phases of metropolitan life, and affords an opportunity for the exhibition of pathos, comedy, songs and dances These elements blended with the ssnsation- al features form a powerful attraction.
