Railroad trains have been seen on the stage in more than one drama in the last ten years, and they are always an effective feature. It is doubtful however, whether there ever was a stage railroad train whioh created so much excitement as the lightning freight express in “The Tide of Life,” the new realistio drama by Edward Weitzel. It .comes with a cruel speed accompanied by whistling, screeching and rOmbling of wheels, and overhang by White smoke and the red glare of the furnace as the fireman loads in the coal. Just as the train gets to the oehter of the stage, the girl “Jill”, who ineans to get to the distant city somehow, if it oosts her life, jumps from the high bank upon the roof of the flying train, and is borne oat of sight. The aadience sees only the tops of the cars as they fly past, but that is all that is necessary, for their gaze is fixed upon the intrepid slip of a girl, who is standing on them, with her long hair flying in the wind and her eyes blazing with excitement and “The Tide of Life” will be seen, with all of its original scenery and effects as it was produced in New York, at the opera honse this evening.
