The public has wit nessed the sDcctnclo of women endeavoring with step ladders inndo from the wrccknjro of their private lives , to climb into the dramatic profession. The attack of the shivers Sullivan , Corbott , McAullffo nnd a dozen of others upon the dramatic art is now a part of history ; and this week Mike Kelly , the professional base ball player ban como. Ho adopts the stage and intends to "act" for a living. Hut another contribution impends. An ex- convict will soon display himself as a prison cure , and Incidentally ns an actor. The scheme Is to realize an honest living from a burglar's reputation , and the stage , forsooth , Is seized upon ns tin accessory to that end. Dunlap , who was an actor before the North ampton hank robbery , proposes to renew and to reproduce thajj melodrama upon the stage. The star acTors In thoorlglnal , Scott , lied Leary and the rest , nro till dead nnd there Is no one to dispute Dunlap's assump tion of the leading role In the reproduction of that famous transaction. Dunlap , who was pardoned for his part , has supplied the data. It makes no difference , probably , that the average sensibilities arc shocked at the notion of a condemned and lib erated criminal seeking thus a cash capital on his own degradation. Deceny would demand , if it had a chance , that a least the personality of the woman who effected Dun- lap's release , because her husband misled him , would bo left out of this malodorous piny. Hut no , the woman and her present husband , It Is anirmed , are to bo led forth as a part of the scheme to exploit a pardon for cash returns.Tho wife of the old burglar Scott , now happily remarried and living on Fifth avenue in this city , Is to be personated in the play. If the public gorge docs not rise at this commercial trailing of man's crime and of wifely shame , it would bo fair to con clude that new standards of dramatic measurement have been set up among the people. HUH Keen n U'uck of The closing week has been one of endings in theatrical seas , Next week will be one of beginning.
