 The story of the play Is woven about poor emigrant girl who comes to New York alone and friendless and IS soon surrounded by the human vul- lures, who in the guise of friendship make her believe that they are going to look after her interests. Instead she soon finds that they have only her downfall at heart, not because they bear her any ill will personally hut because this Is their means ot livelihood and they place money far abov. the soul of the woman In value.
 Tonight the final presentation or that famous English drama "Outcast'
 will be given and those who have not vet seen 1t will do well to make reser- yations at once. The production has had an amost phenomenal run this week and each night has found every seat occupied and on one or two oc- casions standing room was at a pre-
 mium.

 ment has made arrangements for tEd presentation of another of the now famous double feature programs. In the first picture Pauline Frederickson will be featured in one of her mos'
