ISIS IN NEW YORK;

Instead of situations that tax the
credulity or common sense of the
spectator, isis in New York" is a
paly that appeals to all classes of
society. Its scenes are laid in In
diana and in New York city and the
story, while simple and unpretenti-
Gus. tells itself with directness and
cleverness. 1t is distinguished by
singular charm of manner and won
derful character drawing. The quaint
sayings of sis" and John Henry
lures one back to every gentle mem
DRY of the past. The old "swimmin'
hole" and other delights OF boyhood
days are brought to mind The play
is one which competent critic has
seen fit to remark that one is better
for having seen and heard. The com
pany presenting the play is said to
be remarkably clever and the pro-
duction is one of real worth.
