An up-to-date melodrama called
"Kidnapped in New York" by
Howard Hall, is announced. Bar
ney Gilmore, the favorite comedian
and character actor, late of Gilmore
Si Leonard, will be the stellar feat
ure in the role ot Mr. Dooley, the
detective. The various chapters in
the celebrated Marion Clark case
furnished abundant material upon
which to build this play. The auth
or utilized many of the incidents
and some of the principal characters
in the story 111 constructing his
work. It is said to be a faithful,
life-like reproduction, whose heart
interest predominates largely and
will readily find general apprecia
tion. The play 11 also abundantly
supplied with comedy to offset its
pathetic and serious phases. To
present an adequate stage picture of
the dramatic story considerable
special scenery will be used in the
production, which if the plans are
carried out, will be somewhat elab
orate and pretentious. E. J. Mc-
Cullough, is the manager. Blooms
burg Opera House, Nov. 10. 1S99.
