TO-NIGHT.

To-night Mr McLean presents “The Miracle of Manhattan,” in which Miss Elaine Hammerstein is pictured as a young woman of refinement, and wealth who is about to marry a man she really does not care for merely because it will be what an ambitious aunt considers a “good match.” Chance throws across her path, a girl who is destitute and who in desperation has made the first step- on the downward path. The society butterfly who has never had to shift for herself cannot understand the other’s lack of courage, and in a. spirit of adventure attempts to prove that any girl can easily support herself. Her adventure is about t,o end in a dismal failure when she, as a- final resort, accepts a position to sing in a cheap cabaret. Here she meets characters such as she never knew existed and is forced to rely on the prrftect ion of a man. The supports include a gazette and the sparkling serial “The King of the Circus.”
