"The Burglar" which comes to the
Opera House next Wednesday night, is
by Augusta Thomas, author of ALA
bama," and embodies some of the ideas
contained in his sketch, "Editha's Bur-
glar,' which was founded on Mrs. f.
Hodg5on Burnett's charming story,
and was played by E. II. Sothern and
Elsie Leslie. In the play, the burglar
is a man who has seen better days in-
stead of having been brought up in the
business, as was Mrs. Burnett's, and
the little girl who discovers him is his
own child. This changes the scene,
which suggests the sketch, from one of
simple comedy and pathos to a strong
melo dramatic situation. The story
which introduces the burglar incident,
is well brought out in the first two acts,
and is skillfully worked up to a strong
climax in the fourth.
