Aug. Anderson, wiU be received with delight by theatr e goers, for thereaeou that thin come dy drama is one of the most inter esting and noi able that has ever emanated from the pen of Ameri can authors, The story of “Pawn Ticket 210’ is of particular interesting col etruction, being of such a natur e that the audience is carried from the opening to the close through such wit and humor, interspersed with scenes of pathos and climaxes that are thrilling, that the interest never flags. Tbe play is an adop" tion of the novel “Court Royal,’ which tells the story of the want and trials of a mother, who pawned her baby to a Jew Pawnbroker, no ted to be mean and miserly.

This is, perhaps, the moi thrilling of the many climaxes but one of the most pathetic inci dents is the death of “Uncle Har ris.” Get seats for this strong combi nation of artists.
