This play has been staged
eight times by Mr.. Wyand and
always a success. 1t is a play
which is not only a comedy but
has an excellent moral to it.
1t pictures a man sent to prison
and his escape. 1t shows him
recaptured and reconsigned to
that living death in spite of the
pleadings coming from the
bleeding heart of his only child.
However this scene is changed
when the last act shows his
innocence proven and he once
more becomes a gentleman.
This IS a play that will make
you weep and laugh. If you
don't see it you miss much.
