there is vim and go to the acting that
keeps the house enthused. The plot is
laid in the two extremes of New
York life, the opening and closing
scenes being in beautiful suburban
residence and the intermediate in the
slums of New York, the den on
Baxter street. Judson Douglas, the
wealthy New Yorker, had one son, q
absolute person, whom It became nee
essary to disown, and a young daughter.
Needing an heir Mr.. Douglas adopts
his nephew, Clarence, who naturally
becomes an object OF dislike to the dis
inherited son. The son, known as
Charles Clemens became associate and
confederate Of gang Of desperate
thieves and aousebreakers. and is rec
ognized as the captain Of the band in

IA YOUNG WIFE"

One Of sthe hits of the past season
was J. X. Tillotson's comedy drama,
ga. Young Wife, which will be the at
traction at the Grand Opera House
here on Wednesday, January 8. 1t is
said obe well played by Frank Tun-
nehill, Jr., and his excellent company.
A prominent paper said:
SIN this comedy drama there is
enough fun of clean, wholesome sort,
with very little hint OF horse-play, to
cause considerable laughter, enough
pathos to touch tender sentiments, and
enough of the terrible tragic side of
life to cause shiyers to run down the

To mention individually the entire

society function; but we feel that in

Mr.. r. A. Carson, as the elder Van
alstyne, was well up to the mark, pre-
senting in an easy, graceful manner
the part of middle-aged New York

porter has not any grown sons, and
has not been in New York, and as Mr..
Carson's appearance is not indicative
of many full-grown sons, or daughters
either, for that matter, the art and
talent called for is-easily imagined.
Mr.. Lucas Schley made an excellent
clergyman, and was so imbued with
