| There is always charm about the story
of the pavements and tenements of a
great city, as well as about play when
it deals with the social conditions of
| the two classes that are almost opposite
to each other in everything-those of
the poor but honest pitted against viii
lainy clothed in rich livery. Such a
story is kidnapped" and the different
scenes presented run the gamut of New
York life from the parlors of the rich to
the humble home of the working class
and even down to the Slums and dens of
thieves. The story is intensely dramatic
and many thrilling episodes are pre-
sented. Among them leap for life
from the Brooklyn bridge, which. in a
scenic and mechanical way, is presented
from three different points of view; ar
arrest and the call of the patrol, the
wagon and horses coming at full speed
down the Burbank stage. There is d
scene in which the heroine is enticed out
and kidnapped, a coupe and spirited
horses being used to heighten the effect
After many encounters, villainy and
riches against poverty and love, the
usual happy finale occurs. There are
also many comical situations. w. j

effects are the finest and most complete
in every detail. The play will run the en-
tire week with regular Saturday
