factors in the daily doings of the
metropolis.
The hero is represented as the de-
tectiVe of giant department store. a
man whose duty it is to watch and
protect millions of dollars worth of
property, and the heroine is a cloak

en- who must earn their own living. The
villain is human monster Of the deep

bring him to a reserved fate
Against this background of serious
motive there is thrown a lighter fabric
of wholesome comedy which affords
relief from the vivid realities of the
fierce struggle between virtue and
vice. The story is consistently told, it
is said, and the climaxes, while thrill
ling, never overstep the bounds of
probability.
The scenic effects include reproduc-
lions of the department store, an East
side tenement the famed old Trinity
church and the receiving room of

RoeelE BURNS ON THE STAGE.


Why some laugh in ridicule and others
scowl in anger at the intention to drama
tie the works of Robert Burns, is some
what of a mystery. Burns has had his
face painted on cigar boxes, and why
should not his talent shine on the stage
inquiries the New York Press. Does the
ridicule come from the thought that his
writings are above dramatization? Does
anger rise at conviction that the Scot 8
poems ought not to be trif1ed with?
ALI feeling aside. it is likely, If Burns
Were alive. he would be one of the most
regular patrons of the theater. Bobbie

slack rein on conscience Few men have

which trick donkeys and bears played
