 absence of several years will make it's reappearance at the Grand opera house

 matinees Friday and Saturday. It is a play of intense realism in which comedy vies with the more serious elements for | its success. Miss Annie Ward Tiffany will again be seen in her famous conl- edy role of "Biddy Roman" Of this play too much cannot be said in praise. As a melodrama depicting life in Greater New York, it stands without an equal. The story of the ups and downs of Tom Cooper, the hero. the character pictures of the pawnbroker which will be played by an old favorite, Russell Bassett: the. trials of Helen Standish and the machinations of George Benson are all part and parcel of this excel- lent play.
 Manager Jefferson has carefully att tended to every detail of the productions and among it's numerous effects will in- troduce realistic rain storm-a rescue in real water from the waters in Hell Gate off Blackwell's Island, in East River, on which can be seen fleet of boats plying to and fro. This is said to be one of the most thrilling yet natural scenes ever given to the stage.
 The cast includes, besides Miss Tiff fany and MT. Bassett, Carlotta Gaunt, A. l.. Jarrett. Thomas Meegar. Walter scoiiigan, Edwin R. Tiitofi. Francis Meek, w. A. Paul, Irene Triton, Joseph Plant, Harry Dawson and other well known names.
