"Ths Pit" At Walnut Street Theatre.

The Walnut Street Philadelphia, will
have as it's attraction for the next two
weeks. beginning Monday, January 8,
Wilton Lackaye in William A. Brady's
great production of "The Pit" The
play is being presented this season on
larger scale than ever with new seen
cry, the original caste and a company
of over three hundred people.
''The Pit" is a dramatization of
Frank Norris's famous story of the
same name. 1t is the second of the
"wheat triology" of stories which was
planned by this lamented young au-
thor; the first ''The Octopus" dealing
with the growing of the wheat; the
second with its marketing; while the
third which he did not live to write,
was to deal with the consumption.
There is something tremendous, ii.
tanic about this story, portraying the
fierce struggle on the Board of Trad,
by which the marketing of wheat i,
achieved. The picture of the career oi
the great "Operator" Is the central, as
it is by far the strongest feature. He
is man of the courage, nerve and fore
sight of the successful gambler, anC
the crises of the story is reached wher
he admits that he has all the money he
wants and more and carries OIL
his trading merely for the fasc
ination of the game. All of the pic
lures around the pit are admirabl,
done. The fierce maelstrom in th,
wheat pit on critical day, the cleve
young clerks who serve the commission
houses, the pathetic figures of th
ruined traders who haunt the scene o
their former greatness all are drawn t.
the life. The other business of th
piece is interesting, particularly th,
love affair in the life of the great trade
and there is force and truth in th
story of the domestic tragedy owinI
to the growing absorption of the hea,
of the household in the life of the pit

Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
be the purchaser and if such result
does occur the policy of the purchaser
will not be known for some time. The
prevailing opinion is that the road will
be discontinued, unless purchased by
the Wabash inter est, then it is thought
that Lewes would benefit more than
ever before, as she would doubtless be
made an important coast shipping
point by that great Western corpora

ment has been started on foot for such

the members to spend few hours in
