Masterson then attempted to kill Rees,
but the latter fled, and the old man

years offering marriage to a girl with
her petticoats not yet to her knees, and
of the girl accepting for a spot sum of
$4,000, to save a man from ruin whom

are a few of the wishy washy points"
in a play that does not address an in
telligence above that of the feeble

sort of meiodrama, comedy and yellow
covered trash on the stage, and halt
ought to be called in it's presentation.
Some one said last night, '.Oh. but it

to the gallery. 1t is a shrewd Judge of
the good and probable. 1t wants spice,
it's true, but it does not desire imita-
tion and fraudulent condiments in its

has a large repertoire, it can afford to
surrender its Pawn Ticket and take

indeed the best we have ever had here
maintained at such low prices, better
than not few playing to dollars. and

ADJUSTMENTS. A

There was a good house last night in

Pawn Ticket 210." with all the hard
work Of the piece put upon Jessie Nor
ton and James Corrigan. Both did well
and Corrigan notably so in a character
PRESERVATION difficult and unconvention-
al. But the play was simply silly Abb
solutely the most absurdly and ridicu-
lously bundled together lot of nonsense
ever palmed off for drama" But for
Jessie Norton's sprightliness and tire
lessness. and Corrigan's fine artful work
the whole thing would have fallen, and
the audience would have deserted the
house. Miss Norton literally sang,
danced and acted the salvation of the
piece. 1t was almost pitiful to see the
hard work she had to do TO keep the
head of the play above water. Who
ever wrote the thing has no conception
of what comedy is: no appreciation OF
human motive; no idea of human ma
ture, as testified to by the very char
acters introduced. The righteousness
of pawning a girl for ten years. or any
time; the Stiffness of a shrewd money
lender advancing $4,000 on a mortgage
