"ONLY A SHOP GIRL"
AT JACOBS'S THEATRE

Lottie Williamss well-known play,
"Only a Shop Girl" a play like
within the Law" will be seen at
Jacobs's Theatre the week of Janu-
airy 20.
The piece, which is described by its
author, Marie Wellesley Stirling. as a
"heart- to-heart talk with every work.
ing woman" deals with the aaven-
lures of an attractive cash girl in a
large department store and illustrates
in a realistic manner the operations
of such establishments and the trib-
ulations suffered by many employees,
particularly women, therein.
The story involves a poor but hon
est girl, who wins the love of man
of wealth and, by her conduct, shows
him the difference between sterling
truth and the unwavering loyalty of
a woman in the humber walks of life
and the hypocricy of a gilded butter
fly fiuttering in an exclusive social
circle.
The prospective happiness of the
heroine is clouded, however. by the
attempts of her Jealous rival to put
her out of the way, and the manner
In which she proceeds to carry out
her purpose, and is frustrated in her
plans by the hero. results in an ex-
citing situation.
The play is staged in way to en-
phasize the realism in the story, one
scene presenting the interior of a
large apartment store, crowded with
customers, being especially effective.
