Academy-"A Desperate chance."

"A Desperate Chance" in four acts,
founded on the notorious Biddle Broth

the Academy is considered by Theodore
Kremer, the author. as his greatest sue
cess. II is hardly necessary to more
than announce its appearance, as the
story of the play has attracted world
wide reputation. The first act opens
with the murder of the Pitttsburg grocer
by the Biddle boys, their conviction and
sentence. The second act shows the
boys in jail. where they use their
hypnotic power over the warden's wife,
their sensational escape from the Jail.
their thrilling fight IN the snow with
the detectives, their capture and finally
their pathetic. death in the county jail
While the play abounds with many
thrilling situations. the author has not
forgotten TO put plenty of heart inter

romised with many new and startling
echanic effects and with a cast of un-
ual excellence, a performance is prom
ised to satisfy the most exacting critic.
