"Lenden Life'' is the title of the new
drama to be presented at the Academy Of
Music next week. The title is justified by
the sentiments put into the mouths of the
characters. The play abounds with NOV
ing and powerful scenes and situations.
BoisteReus fun is mixed up with the most
pathetic and touching features Of the
plot. The two villains who set the whole
machinery Of the plot in motion and keep
ii going until the terrible Nemesis over
takes them at the close. are of the most
hardened type and the hero and heroine,
the latter by her sweetness and her suner-

his sterling and manly honesty are amply
calculated to command the sympathy OF
