The play is founded on facts and is in four intensely inter esting acts, and will be produced here with all the original scenery, mechanical and electrical effects in the same manner that has charact erized its great success in all the leading cities. The action of the play is located near Johnstown, in the summer of 1889, before and after the great flood. The dialogue is brisk, and the comedy and pathos blend well together, while the cli maxes arc dramatic and sensational. The scenes are as real as the art of the scenic artist and good acting could make them, principal among which are the followiug; The Great Horse shoe bend; The Cambra Iron Works; The South Fork Dam; The Memorial Bridge; The Terrific Rain storm of Real Water; the great flood scene, which is a veritable revela tion of the possibilities of modern stage development and perfect pro duction, in which the limit of stage realism has at last been reached.

Harry Tracy once said in a letter to a friend of his, a Mr. Collins, of Jackson t county, Oregon, "Well Collins, we were playmates togeth er, you and I, and each had the same opportunities to choose from. You chose wisely, and lead an hon est life. I chose unwisely, through the hot blood of an unreasoning youth, and I stand today with life behind me, faltering at the gate-way of eternity; sad. disheartened and weary, broken in mind and spirit; hunted like a wild beast, with every man's hand against me; hated and feared; afraid to live, afraid to die; despising the judgment of men, and quivering when I think of God's. No method ot retreat only to go on until the bullet of the assassin, or the rope of the law sends me to the seat of mercy, mercy of which I have despaired Am I not a lesson to my brother men? No, I have no brother men, but I am, or ought to be, a lesson to my kind." for of 77?Acr$ 7?wl; Special scenery will be displayed for "Tracy the Bandit."
