(Grand Opera House). "The Pólice Inspector," the newest of the stage stories to exploit phases of pólice life in New York, and for that; matter, all over the country, for the pólice departrnents of all metropolitancities are largely patterned after the Gotham institution, was given a hearing yesterday at the Fifteenth street theatre. Inspector Byrns, whose name is a terror to wrong-doers, and whose skirts remain absolutely clean even under the close scrutiny of a Lexow coramittee, stands as the type for the hero of the performance now being given at the Fifteenth street theatre. The play deals with incidents of the seamy side of life in the raetrop'olis, and the author, Mr. Will R. VVilson, an erstwhile pólice reporter on one of the New York dailies, has made a close study of the modern Vidocq, with entire credit to himself, even though he has allowed the sensational to run away with the dramatic situations sometimes. It is a play absolutely suited to the patrons of Mr. Burgess' theatre, and the two immense house? testified appreciation of the performances yesterday. - Omaha Daily BeePrices, 35, 50 and 75 cents.
