"THE WOMAN IN THE CASE"
Blanche WaIsh's Greatest Success Is
to Appear at the Towle Opera
House Sunday Night.

Blanche Walsh's greatest success is
to appear at the ToWle opera house
Sunday evening. 1t presents one of
the strongest themes possessed by any
modern drama of recent years and en-
tirely accounts for the great success
it achieved In New York whence it
comes here with record of six
gagements at six separate theaters,
including a phenomenal run of four
months at the Herald Square theater.
Here is the pith of the plot: A wife
must prove her husband innocent of
a murder with which he has been
wrongly and vindictively charged
There is but one way-to worm the
truth out of the woman who is his
chief accuser-a woman of the town.
To learn that truth she must insinuate
herself into the womans confidence
persuade her finally to the telling of
the tale that shall prove that the
murder was really a suicide. The wife
is all resolute devotion. The other
woman is all vindictiveness, working
through low cunning.
There are two acts OF preparation.
The third act sets the two women face
to face. There is hint of the wife's
repulsion toward all that her effort
brings upon her, another of the chief
resolution that upbears her. Then the
last battle begins. The tide GIBBS and
flows. The wife learns this, learns
that but the truth she seeks evades
her. Then she begins to play upon
the woman's vindictiveness Inch by
inch they near the confession. At last
it comes The wife springs upon her
half in triumph. half in Wild relief
from all that she has endured. The
scene, except for a few moments, in
which the attendant men are dis
missed, is all stark emotion. and
stark suspense. There is no sparing
Of what is the fashion to call unpleas-
ant detail. but that detail serves to
bring the spectator at closer grip with
living emotions in vital conflict.

THEATRICAL NOTES.
AT THE ILLINOIS.

1t had seemed as though clothes was
worn out subject for the stage Pre-
scented in the past have been plays of
all sorts and conditions dealing more
or less with the subject Of clothes.
though never avowedly basing their
whole fabric upon them. Then again
have been seen plays where the clothes
worn by the actresses were of more i'm
portance than the drama itself In the
society drama by Avery Hopwood and
Claiming Pollock in which Grace
George and her brilliant company are
to appear at the Illinois theatre. Chi
cago, for two weeks, commencing Mon
day, Feb. T. II can be learned that the
subject has only been partially CON
sidered in the past. This play is the
final word, the ultimate consideration
the autobiography of clothes When
Carlyle wrote "Sartor Resartus" he
summed up the past and outlined the
future Of the subject from a literary
viewpoint. No one has ever been able
to augment his work Clothes" per
forms the same feat for the stage. and
is itself dramatic garment that fits
Grace George like one of Worths
gowns
Primarily and fundamentally Clothes"
rs clever, 1t bristles with sparkling
epigrams and is up-to-date with a
vigor It is full of freshness, of viril-
ty and of unhackneyed things and is
realistic with a realism that has not
been before attempted in society plays.
Clothes" deals with the lives of a
people on the fringe of good society;
money spenders, in the world where the
women spend, the men worry. and the
devil attends the tea parties. Grace
George has the part of a girl left an
orphan and who supposes her money is
derived from some stocks her father
left his lawyer friend in trust for her.
AS a matter of fact the stocks are
worthless and she is constrained to
marry for money. Then she falls In
love with the sutton and in fit of self
hatred refuses him, but finally after
the villain tells the lover that he has
been supporting the girl for years and
that she would not marry if 1t were
not for clothes, the play ends satisfac-
torily in a daringly original act.
New York theatregoers have hailed
the piece as the most emphatic success
Of the season and in this play Miss
George has the opportunity of her dra-
matte career. Her supporting company
is notably brilliant even in an era of
brilliant companies.
Among others in the cast are Frank
Worthing, Robert T. Haines, Selene
Johnson, A. H. Stuart, Edward Field
ing, Justine Cutting. Evelyn Caring
ton, Ruth Benson and Laura Lemmers.
AS the piece was staged under the
personal direction of William A Brady,
the costuming and mountings are on
Wednesdays and Saturdays. 1t should
be remembered that letters or tele-
grams sent to the Illinois theatre in
advance always receive prompt at
tention.

Echoes of the Diamond.

MuggSy McGraw is banking on
Mathe wson to recover his 1905 form.
Baseball experts in New York claim
that Iron Man" McGinnity is all in.
Reports have it that Cleveland only
covered up Thielman, and that the ex-
cardinal will return to indianapolis.
Roy Hartzell, who . covered third
base for the st. Louis Browns last sea-
son, will be released to some Southern
league club. s
There will be two BUCK Freemans
in the American league next season.
Conmy has a pitcher by that name for
the White Sox.
Fred Buelow will be dropped from
the Cleveland team before March 1. 1t
is believed that he will adopt a Tole-
do uniform in the spring.
Cleveland has its Hi West, Akron its
Walter East. and Augusta, of the
South Atlantic league, its Walter
South. Isn't there north in the bunch
somewhere?
The Giants will timber their fingers
making programs for the races, at As
cot. McGraw will retain Alex Smith,
because he is invaluable in getting in
side information.
In the old days when Joe ,Cantillon
was an umpire. the fans often address

this referred to balls and strikes, Joe
says, not ball players.
William Murray, the new manager
of the Philadelphia Nationals, will
take twenty-five men on the. southern
trip. Murray has never handled u
major league team before, but never
theless he is considered a competent
man on the bench.
Now they have it that John 1 Tay-
lor, of the Boston Americans, offered
to trade Hobe Ferris for Bill Bradley.
His idea was to put Bradley at third
base and switch Collins to second. The
offer created loud and derisive ripple
of mirth in Cleveland
Manager McCloskey, of the st. Louis
Nationals, says that if Cincinnati wants
Pitcher Buster" Brown, he will take
$4,000 and Pitcher Jake -Weimer in
exchanges. AS HanIon would not re-
lease Weimer under any circum-
stances. McClosky's proposition has put
Cincinnati fans down for the count.
The signed contract of Three-b Dagger
George Robe has been received by
Comiskey. Robe will be the utility in
fielder of the Sox this season, and pro-
baby as long as he cares to hang on to
the job. His hitting in the worlds Sc
ries last fall while covering third for
the champions was enough to insure
him a permanent booth with the Sox.
Those ree-baggers Robe made are
now baseball history, and each hit was
directly responsible for Sox victory.

Chicago, Feb. Gas the result of a
little bantering yesterday between DR..

Ralph Temple, president of the local
trade association, checks for s., 900 each
have been deposited binding a long
match race scheduled for June 1 be-
tween Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit
and Chicago to decide the respective
merits of a National and a Packard.
Mr.. Temple invited his rival to view
the National six-cyhnder runabout,
which is known to have a speed of
seventy-five miles an hour. It is said
the Packard man advanced the idea
that six-eylinder was not so good as
a four, and from this argument came
the offer for long race.
Mr.. Temple, after accepting the chal-
lenge, made the concession that nearly
took the breath from his friends who
overheard the talk. He said:
Your four-cylinder car would not
stand a ghost of a chance against this
six, so in order to make the race a
good one, I'll use a four-cylinder ear
against your four"
The Chicago motor club will receive
the deposits of checks and see that the
contest is run off under the auspices
of that organization.
