In a season crowded with many suc- cesses and few failures, there seemed no room for another play, but Charles T. Vincent has written one which gives the newsboy the center of the stage and has added another charac- terization, wholly lovable and truly natural, to the gallery of good things" "A Boy Of the Streets has as it's central figure one of the most in- teresting types of the class which every one knows so well. Master Sidney Car lyle, selected for his thorough delinea- tion Of this style of character, has given to Jimmy" the hero of A Boy of the Streets" dramatic value which ranks his work beyond the ordinary. His powers of penetration are not measured by his years and his thorough apprecia- tion Of the part and the delight he takes in it, are apparent to every per- son in the audience. He and Jimmy might have been twins, so perfectly he shows us this pathetic little waif, who finds life much what he makes it, and who comes through the difficult situa- tions he is called upon to face with courage undaunted, colors flying and victory perched upon his banner. Twen- ty-five people live, move and have their beings in "Jimmy's" near neighbor- hood and add to the picture the play wright has painted, but Jimmy" shines on with increased lustre as natures little nobleman.
