When Women Love.

! Labors unions are defended and
advocated in the new scenic heart in
terest melodrama, "When Women
Love- to be seen at the New Phil
lips next Saturday matinee and
night. BY the force of practical ex-
ample their benefits and uses, when
rightly managed, are shown. One of
the big scenes of the play is the in
terror of a shirt factory with the ma
chimes in full operation. 1t is the
first time, it is cluaimed, that such a
scene has ever been carried out in
such elaborate detail on the stage.
The scenery for this setting alone
weighs over two tons. The Singer
Mfg, Co. will furnish 7 power ma
chimes for the scene.
1.-The Elopers.''
Among the bevy of bright, clever
and pretty young women with which
the cast of that successful farcial
comedy, "The Elopers' by H. J.
Dam, which will be presented at the
Gennett Theatre the evening of De-
cember Sth, abounds none has more
fairly earned the right to the promi-
nent place she sholds on the stage
than has Miss Nellie M. Grant. AS
the "Vaudeville Girl' Miss Grant
utilizes the experience gained in sew
eral years spent in that branch of
stage entertainment, an experience
which covers a trip around the world
and included stay Of some months
in the gold fields of South Africa.
While there the members of the COM
pany of which she was the star Wis
tied one of the Zulu reservations
surprising the natives in one of their
gambling games which is carried on
entirely by the use of signs. Quick
to see the novelty of adding some of
the Africans peculiarities to her
repertoire, Miss Grant rehearsed the
company in the queer motion of the
aborigines fitting them to the strains
of the song, "Sunny Africa.' A
few nights later the Zulus attended
the performance in body and when
they saw themselves so cleverly MIN
licked their excitement could scarcely
be restrained. One big chief with a
nose ring as big as an embroidery
frame was so taken with Miss
Grants skill at his favorite game
that he offered to make her wife
number sixty seven on the spot.

An unusual interest has been shown
since the announcement of Messrs
Jacobs and Underner that they will
produce the great melodrama, ga
Break for Liberty,' written on the
episodes connected with the late
Biddle brothers and their escape
from the Pittsburg jail. This attrac
ton will be at the New Phillips The

the best dramatic treats given to the
theatre goers Of this city during the
season.
The play is full Of exciting climax

play will be seen here this season
and it is unnecessary to say that the
