The draft of the bill has obvious cru

much money TO be spent whether 2 site

on the old site: it calls for the %prepara-

From these signs Of carelessness we

New Years week, with matinees wed

theatre-goers of this city will nave a
great opportunity of witnessing the mucn
discussed effort of Nym Crinkle and Il.
NJ. Alfriend. 1t is said to be a master
piece, in that it embodies a series OF
events collected from real life ana
put together in very tanglpie
form. The solution of a mystic
rious robbery ana a murder gives
thrilling interest to every act and scene.
The portrayal of a heartless adventures
by Miss Lillian Lawrence, the eNqulsite
pathos of a loving young woman IN the
hands of Maud Banks, the intense agony
of Nine. Janauschek, the Old renee,
and the great detective work OF Frederic
Bond, who solves the problem. or tne
play, all go to make up what Is called
the greatest melo-drama of the century.
There are few more facile writer's tnan
Nymi Crinkie, and in evolving a plot Ior
this interesting play he did his greatest
thinking. His words are f~orceful and
eloquent and paint with vivid effect the
infamy and misery of life as 1t is IN a
great city.
