A Girl of The Underworld.

In all homes, in all braiches o-f life, there is an uncertain feeling of uneasiness, a desire to go away to see the world; to go on your own accord; there is not much pity for the girl alone, homeless, hungry and without money. There js only one road open for her, and a “Girl of the Underworld” will show you the folly of that road. A road which perhaps is smooth going, but when the end is reached, and you want to return, you will find the road rough and hard to travel. Every mother, father, brother and sister owes it to themselves tq see this beautiful play for the., lesson it teaches. Girls who want to go to the city, girls who want to leave home, girls who don’t know their own mind, should see “A girl of the Underworld,” that plan's at Rensselaer on Saturday September 28. It will show the pitfalls of the big city of New York. The greatest moral lesson ever taught is the verdict of this beautiful four act comedy drama, ‘ A Girl oli the Underworld.”—-At Ellis opera house, Saturday, September 28.
