more on the beautiful story of the
piece for success, than on scenic or
mechanical effects. The first act
opens at the Office Of Inspector Sharpe
where the villainous plans are laid.
The last scene of the act shows the
old warehouse on fire and the rescue
of the detective. The second act
shows a street scene in Chicago. The
third act is laid in the den of thieves
where the children are held captive.
Act four is the home of the thieving
inspector and the capture of the gang.
The cast is very well spoken of and
| there are two clever children that
take important roles.

at the Astor theatre, deserves com
mendation The play, from beginning
to end, Is extremely well done both
by playwright and company, and with
interest might well be added to the
title as an expression of what the
audience derives from 1t. The play
deals with humble persons; humble,
that is, in comparison with the high
society folk one is accustomed to see
strutting through the measures of
social drama. The reason for calling
attention to Mr. Walters third act
is, that he has made 1t just what 1t
should be-quick, alert, full of interest
and a striking climax OF the play.
After seeing it there was a reasonable
suspicion that fourth act might
spoil the drama, at least might de-
stroy the force OF the third. How
ever, Mr.. Walters fourth act does not
mar his play in any way; If anything
