the audience that welcomed its return

L.OTHROP'S OPERA HOUSE,
Many People Are Taking Trips "on the
Bowery" With Steve Brodis.

Lothlpp's Opera House is being filed
these days by the admirers Of Steve
Brodie, who jumped off the Brooklyn
bridge some years ago, and, by careful
nursing of the notoriety thereby gained,
is now the owner of the most prosper
Gus saloon on the Bowery and finan-
cially successful theatrical star. Bro
dies play, "On the Bowery," is by r.
N Stephens, who wrote AN Enemy 10
the King" one of the best of current
romantic dramas, and who seems to
have been almost equally successful
with this decidedly different style o.
play As long as the piece follows the
lines of the author, II is by no means
a bad entertainment; it is only when
the comedians impruYise in front Of the
curtain to make time for the scene
shlftlng in back that there are noticed
symptoms of wealiness.
The best impression in the play is
made by Brodie himself. who, as the
proprietor of his own saloon. is a nat
ural. and not unromantic figure
large portion of the action takes place
within the saloon, and huge rnerriment
Is caused by the doings of the patrons,
typical Bowery characters all of them.
