Belssconian originality and entirety.
The Lily ran for over one year in New
York and was pronounced the dramatic
sensation Of the season. The story briefly
told is Of an Old and impoverished French
nobleman who, profligate himself, and con-
doning profligacy in his son. is so severe
with his two daughters that he denies
them right 10 marriage, except at his pleas
ure, and positively forbids their right to
