"The Woman i'm Black, one of
Manager Lifts productions, which will
be seen at the Grand Friday Dec. 10, is
new semi-political play from the pen
of H. Grattan Donnelly. 1t is said to
be story depicting scenes and Incl
dents around very hotly contested
election, where two opposing factions
of the same political party are at swords
points The political coloring only
gives novel and effective background
for strong story of love and romance
which runs through the play. The
author is said to have introduced some
very novel effects and the comedy is
abundant and bright. Manager Lift
has given the piece a magnificent pro-
ductiOn, the scenery being by John HI.
Young, the Broadway Theatre artist.
Many extra people are engaged in the
big street scene, showing the Hoffman
House and the Fifth Avenue Hotel the
night of an election. A torchlight pa
rade adds to the effectiveness of the
scene.
