"A Break For Liberty
Among the many new productions
OF the year none have caused great
er comment than GA Break For
LIBERTY The author has taken for
the foundation of the story the scene
surrounding the trial, escape and fin
al capture of the famous Biddle
brothers in Pittsburg and vicinity.
It was a well known fact that Ed
the elder of the two brothers, had
wonderful effect upon women, many
saying that it was hypnotic inuflu-
ence. While this may not have been
true, he was fairly loaded down with
presence, flowers and visited by the
gentler sex, and it is this mysterious
power that the author has made the
central theme of his story causing
the warden s wife to forget her mar
riage vows, her home and friends to
aid the condemned prisoners to es-
the condemned prisoners to escape.
J. M. Jacobs and E. c. Underner,
who have this production in hand,
have had all the scenes reproduced
from photographs taken in Pittsburg,
Butler county and other places in the
vicinity of the tragedy. New Phillips

ing December 10Th, Weber and
Fields greatest success "Hoity
Toity,' which comes with the pres
tige Of Zone solid year on Broad
way. "Hoity Toity is to laugh.
There is a plot to be sure, but you
don't want to let that worry you, as
it is frankly admitted that it is a
mere thread on which to hang an unu-
[ sually good assortment of hilarious
comedy and tuneful music. The cho-
rus is one Of rare loneliness, and
