Lost in New York comes to the Krug
next Thursday. Friday and Saturday. 1t
is a mirror Of high and low life in a great
city, told in such a manner as to bring out
all the pathetic as we'll as bright sides Of
human life. 1t is not grewsome at any
time, and yet It is perfectly true to the
subject II purposes to illustrate. There is
not a situation that is not taken from ac-
tual life, and they are not only original,
but at the same time so intense as to win
the ardent commentator of playgoers.
The lines of the drama are simple and
bright and are beautifully rhetorical The
scenery is very striking in appearance.
