Maxine Elliott in "Her Own Way"

Miss Maxine Elliott in Clyde Fitch's
comedy, ''Her Own Way" will be the
offering at the Yakima Theatre January
5th.
The play scored quite the most pro-
nounced hit of several seasons in New
York, and Miss Elliott herself has
amazed theatre goers who have hitherto
been accustomed to regard her simply
as the most beautiful woman on the
American stage. Miss Elliott has given
evidence of the possession of great
emotional talent, and her work in Her
Own Way" shows her not only as SER
ious actress, but as comedienne of
great versatility Miss Elliott is seen
in the first act froicking with lot of
children. In the second act there is a
strong love scene. In the third act there
is an emotional climax which draws tears
of sympathy, and in the last act Miss
Elliott fairly amazes her admirers by
the strength and power of her acting
The story concerns a young girl who re-
fuses to be coerced in her love affairs
with a handsome soldier. and insists
upon having her own way. This way
leads to happiness, as all learn in the
end. Miss Elliott's manager. Charles B..
Dillingham;, has surrounded her with a
strong supporting company.
