ONE OF THE OLD KIND.

Out of the homelike, intense, picturesque and absorbing old story of the an actor, Eugene Moore, has made a new play. It at once won big success last season and warranted its manager, Fred G. Conrad n sending it out with especial advantages of scenery and a metropolitan company this season. The production will be at the Ellis Thpatre in Rensselaer, Saturday night, March 27. There is no cheapness in Mr. Moore’s play of the “Hidden Hand” evidently. All the criticisms of last season contain high praise of the author’s dignified, skillful and delightful dramatization. He has avoided all false melodrama and put together four acts of romance in old Virginia with all its light and shade of southern comedy and sturdy strength, interesting character, darky fun, mystery and backwoods character. Jhere is reason to expect in the “Hidden Hand” as Mr. Moore has written it and Manager Conrad presents it, a drama of the genuinely good old kind that satisfy everyone so well that they actually seem to give nourishment.
