Academy.

The desperate doings of the Black
Hand are pictured in the melodrama
Tony the Bootblack," as presented this
week at the New Academy. Throughout
the action of the play there are many
thrilling situations, as results of the mer-
ciless operations of as audacious lot of
desperadoes as ever abducted a child or
dynamited A building. If the transactions
illustrated i'm the melodrama are counter
parts of those of the real Black Hand or
Malta it was the consensus of opinion of
the big audience at the Academy last
night. as expressed by the emotions and
indignation of the auditors. that the evil
society should be ncontinently wiped out
in this country. The plot develops that
Tony. the bootblack, part that is cred
itably taken by Dave Genaro, is the alb
Quoted son of a wealthy Italian. and he is
happily reunited with his sister, who is
the latest victim of the organized kid
napers. and hfs father, a wealthy banker,
who had incurred the displeasure of Car
los Roderego, leader of the Black Hand.
Ray Bailey as Daisy Lane, the girl de-
tective. does some clever team work with
Tony in bringing the conspirators to JUS
tice. There are several good musical
numbers. with chorus accompaniment.
and the scenic effects are realistic, espe-
ciaIly the picture of the shore and rip
