The Bowery Girl VIII be seen tonight
for the first time in Savannah. The public
has heard a great deal of this peculiar

found nowhere else on earth save ON
the Bowery.' "A Bowery Girl is an Old
fashioned melodrama with down-trodden
right in three acts, which, like yeast,
rises when exposed to the atmosphere-of
wrong and finally conquers. Clara
Thropp as Nora Blake, the Bowery Girl,
has a really difficult part. Miss Thropp
will be well and favOrably remembered as
the one who took the part of Innocent
Kid for a time in Evans and Hoey's "A
ParlOr Match" Her song and dance
specialties were far above the average,
and she will not fail to receive warm
welcome mere.
