The vehicle for which she is the mag-
net this season is a new sensational
comedy drama entitled “Only a Shop
Girl." from the pen of Marie Wellesley
Sterling. author of “On the Suwanee
River." etc. The play deals with'life
as we know it. today. among the mass-
on employed in the big department
stores of the larger cities. and the
trials and temptations of our young
people of the, present generation who
are subjected to the wiles and pitfalls
of New York City. Though. natural-
ly. virtue is triumphant in the end. a
powerful sermon is told and a moral
admonished during the four act teeth“
of the play. The cast includes twen-
ty-two speakingiparts and thcgcntire
production is carried in its‘entih‘sty.
There is a novel and most sensatibnal
scenic effect in the third act that is
said to be the acme of scenicai realism.
creating more of a sensation titan the
famous "Raft Scene" in "The World"
some years ago.’ An innovation in a
dramatic production is the Interpola-
tion of many musical numbers l’hd
vaudeville acts. The play is at Proc-
