" On the Kowery," the scenic drama óf New York life, written by R. . Stephens and produced by Managers Davis and Keogh with great pictorial display, s a play of rapid artion. The first act passes on one night, and the events of the remaining fovir acts all occur on the night immediately following. The first night contains a burglary, an attempted elopement, a false accusation and a sensational eacape. The second act shows the furthering of a scoundrelly plot to destroy a woman and an exciting fight in which a number of policemen participate, and of which the outcome enables the hero and Steve Brodie to go to the aid of the endangered women. The third act presents a violent attempt to drown the woman in the East river, and the thrilling junip of Steve Brodie frorn Brooklyn bridge to her rescue. The fourth act has a narrow escape of the hero from those who are hounding him down, a picturesque fire scène on an East river dock, and a lot of comic incidents on Chatham square. There have been attempts to represent Brooklyn bridge on the stage, but not one of them has conveyed such an idea of the bigness and complexity of the marvelous structure as is given in " On the Bowery," and the showing of the scènes and characters of New York's fanious down town thoroughfare is equally realistic and striking. "On the Bowery" will appear at the Grand opera house on Nov. 24. Prices 35c, 50c, and 75c.
