one very excellent opportunity and throughout, being played by well chosen and well rehearsed company, holds the interest of the present-day audience accustomed to slenderer material. LL STREET always has a strong place in the public eve nd needs no advertising such as was recently given it by the wretched creatures who registered their hatred of humanity by the murder and maiming of unoffending men and women. From this Wall-Street tragedy it is at least a relief to turn to the Wall-Street melodrama which Mr. Owen Davis has added to his already long list under the title of “Opportunity.” He has not taken many more liberties with specu lation as it is practiced than dramatists usu- ally do when they transfer the wily manipu- lators of stocks tothe stage. Those astute gentlemen sometimes make just such stupid mistakes in attempting to corner a stock as that which upsets the calculations of the villain in * Opportunity,” so there is no quarrel with Mr. Davis over the correct- ness of his Wall-street tech nique. There is ground for objection to the raw work of the vamp who leads the hero astray, and his quick yielding to wiles that would not have lured a country Sunday-school boy, much Miss Makcaret ANGLIN, VER PRECIATIVE HUSBAND.

Wall-Street men are not so local in their knowledge. However, “Opportunity” is a melodrama which is fairly credible, well played and really holds the interest. SODOM and Gomorrah, the Fall and Decline of the Roman Empire, the futility of the career of Anthony Comstock. the complete inefficiency of Mayor Hylan and a number of other things are suggested by the atrocity called ‘Ladies’ Night.” It is a marvel that while there are floors to be scrubbed and washing to be done women can be hired to appear init. Itis a greater marvel that women of respectable ap. pearance can be seen sitting through its per nce and laughing at scenes and lines which a few years ago would not have been tolerated even in low variety shows It is said that truth-telling of this sort is just the sort of advertising such shows desire. Be it But that is a poor excuse for not telling the public what it ought to have hammered into its head. It is the duty of the press to tell the whole truth in these matters and then if the public wants to be d—d it is its own affair. Metcalfe so.
