She is unconventional, | Ingenuons, child-like and bland in| | hekmanner, She is also whole-heart- | {ed and true blue. By a trick of eir-| | cumstance Phil is placed in the posi- | { tion of making it possible for her} {to ask John Alden, a woman-hater Lto marry her to save her from mar- | riage with an old reprobate she de- tests. Alden conséuts"to the marriage Then Alden takes Phil to his ¢ld home in Boston and thére she final ly wins bis Jove. "Phil-for-Short" is certainly a delightful, and faseinat- ing production, and Miss Greeley is peculiarly adapted to the leading role, Indeed; she is the soul of the picture: Her emotionalism is employ- ed in a faultless transparent manner and the appeal of her instinct finally overcomes the puritanical ideas of | Li the New Englander who is enthralled | by the young wife who was repug- nant to him. The whole plot is cle- ver and the picture promises to be very pppular.--Advt. At Griffin's. The John Emmerson Anita-Loos production 'Oh You Women," starr- ing dainty Louise Huff and Ernest Truex, attracted a large audience to Griffins last evening who thoroughly enjoyed this great comedy. This is an after the war story which deals with the delicate problems of what a fellow is going to do when he comes home from the war and finds a girl in his job. It has been serious- ly done with every touch of comedy and satire that the people know the brilliant authors are capgble of sup- plying. Ernest Truex, one of the cleverest comedy TE on the Ame- rican stage today, and Louise Huff makes a dainty co-star who possesses rare charm as well as beauty. They contribute much to the enjoyable- ness of the comedy. Our usual good line of added attractions are also shown on the same programme, und provides an evening's genuine enjoy- Bout.
