In presenting the great scenic production of “The Train Robbers” at the opera house, Manager Bosse takes pleasure in announcing that unlike other plays and theatrical performances based upon incidents of a similar nature which have visited us in the past the playwright has’in nc way attempted to justify their crimes nor place a halo about the heads of the evil doers. No atmosphere of heroism nor martyrdom permeates the play as is usually the case and no excuse is offered for the man whose natural impulses are criminal. It is a strong sermon on the inevitable | end of the wrong doer who trans- | gresses the laws of society and disregards the teachings of his youth. Plainly told, and with a realism j that only an elaborate investure of scenery can give, the story of James Ford is forcibly impressed upon the minds of the audience and j the impossibility of averting the consequences , of his career is so strikingly illustrated that the play becomes a strong factor in the moral life of its audiences.
