STORY OF “AN ARISTOCRATIC TRAMP.”

Anew addition to stage trampdom, “Sir Seedy Usetobe,” an individual who has a strong dislike for anything that smacked of work. Of course the tramp is a man of history. About sixteen years before he had been knocked in the bead by the bad man of the play, and losing all recollection of his former self he becomes a wanderer. He loses sight of his daughter and wife, whom he has made an outcast. In the end the playright gives the tramp back his memory after strenuous complications in which the villain commits murder and attempts to wipe out a number of other people. During the play an automobile race occurs between the tramp and the adventurer in which the tramp gets the better of it, owing to the fact that his foe’s car blows up at the right moment. Another situation which causes a demonstration is where a train is stopped in time to save the life of the tramp who had been tied to the track. All ends happy. The bad man dies the death he has earned and the audience go home satisfied. At Ellis Opera House, Thursday, Sept, 6.
