This means a saving of 33s

synopsis of she play 10 be Produced
Tomorrow Night.
The first act of the "Charity
Ball" presents Ann Cruger in
love with the rector of fashion
able New York church, John Van
Buren,. The latter loves Phyllis
Lee, who loves Johns brother,
Dick Van Buren,. Dick aspires to
financial supremacy, and although
he loves Phyllis his worldly
interests lead him to cast
her off and endeavor to win Ann.
There is every moral reason why
he should marry Phyllis. The
latter reveals the situation to
Ann, and, followed by her, rushes
to the rectory. In q powerful
scene the rector learns from the
two that the woman of his heart is
being wronged by his brother, aud
in still more powerful scene, in
which his mother and sister are
unconscious agents, he brings his
brother to marry the girl. In the
last act the rector discovers that
he loves his friend Ann, who has
been his confdant and good angel
all along.
