"The Woman In the Case"

It is many moons since so much interest has been taken In a coming theatrical event as Is being shown in the appear ance of Blanche Walsh at the Jeffer- son theatre next Monday evening in Clyde Fitchs latest and perhaps greatest play, The Woman in the Case.' In New York the play has been seen for 250 nights and 1t comes here with the official stamp of metropolitan approval. The play has a third act which has become famous. Of this act the New York Sun says: Tt de- veloped a situation the like of which has not been seen on our stage in respect of absorbing, of thrilling interest, since the famous third act of The Gay Lord Quex. Surge after surge of applause followed the curtain and made 1t evident that this particular woman will remain in this par ticular case as long as the present the- atrical season holds" This prophecy of the New York Sun was literally carried out.
