seldom does it occur that the stage finds a theme which may be safely announced as something entirely new. Although the word novelty is sadly overw0rked. in the case of fsThe Wo- mans Law" it can be safely sustain ed.

It is an entirely new thrill in the theatre. a new sen sation for the audience, and new interpretation for the actor. Briefly the story is this:

 She had been told by a criminal judge once that almost any criminal had his exact dcubIe-a man who re- sembled him completely within, per haps, a few blocks Of the place where the crime was committed. Acting upon this Information, she success fully finds 8 man in every detail of face, feature, heighths figure and voice. resembles her husband, the murderer, George Orcutt. She brings Orcutt's double to her home, where her husband makes the discovey that he is a victim of asphasia. The po- Hoe find him there and take him. be- cause of his resemblance to George Orcutt. The real husband escapes to Europe and the false George Or cutt is put on trial for murder.

by legal talent, and will also have
his witnesses, but in this case he is
opposed by many of the men who

cation that it will be a means of
delving into political history which
is almost too fresh in the minds of
the people of the state to be classi'

nation that Senator Clark is not
the only eminent Arkansas politician
that will be interested in the case on
