 sical play. The Talk of New York. | Kid Burns of the earlier success
 used to confine most of his operations
 to New Rochelle. but in @'The Talk of
 New York; he has moved from that metropolis to the bright lights of the
 village of New York. Since then he l has acquired very large bank roll | after the methods of Pittsburg Phil and other illustrious gentlemen who | have from time to time decorated the | betting ring.
 | In other words. Geo. M. Conan has
 made Kid Burns a successful race | track plunger in "The Talk of New | York" Although these two Conan plays are distinctly separate stories l by themselves, the new one is design ed as a kind of sequel to the earlier exploits of Kid Burns" in Forty five Minutes from Broadway" It is
 expected, of course, that all Conan plays must possess speed, ginger and
 snap and it is said that 'The Talk of New York; bears every characteristic for it is reported to be the speediest
 production that has as yet come from the brain of the prolific young MT. Co., han.
 The story of the play takes place among the familiar scenes of New York sporting circles and fashionable resorts.
