"A MESSENGER BOY"

George D. Sweet, supported by a remarkably strong company, pre- sented that splended melo-drama "A Messenger Boy," at the opera house last Monday night. The attraction was a very credita ble one, and the attendance in pro portion.
 The plot of the play is realistic presentation of life from the outside world, that appeals so forcibly to our natures. The kidnapping oi two children, with their final rescue, with tale of devoted and trusting love that had it's origin in the outcast life of the street waifs at Pier 46 in the great city of New York, with the manly honor and final reward of the kidnapped boot. black who possesses some of the | noblest traits of honor and in. tegrity, make a drama that fasci. mates while it pleases.
 Colonel Worry, the egotistical irascible but warm hearted olc man who never forgets his wal record, is whole circus with the clowns thrown in.
 The cunning william and hii female accomplice makes you shud der at their deeds of all that is ! villainous and mean.
 The role of Roxy, the waif, wal admira bly, carried by Miss Beatric. Terry. in the delineation of whici she displayed the marked talent anc ability for which she is recognized
 To enumerate the good features would be to give the entire cast fol there is not weak place in either the plot or the players.
