"My Official Wife" was presented 9. the
Hyperion last night to crowded house.
The principal roles were taken by Mrs.
Minnie Seligman Cutting as Helene. and
Mr.. Robert L. Cutting, jr., as Sscha
Weletsksy, msior in the Chsvalier Garde.
The supporting cast was excellent. Arthur
Lennon, William f. Owep) of the United
State army is travelling through Europe
alone, Helene Marie, Mrs. Cuttine) happens
to meet him at station on the frontier be-
tween Germany and Russia, and seeing
that Mr.. Lsnnox is alone, takes advantage
of the fact and palms herself off as his
wife. Mr.. Lennox discovers the mistake
too late and the deception goes on.
After a while Helene discloees to
Mr.. Lennon that she is Q nihilist,
and that for her safety and his
the deception must be kept up. Helene, at
lzRf at a hal haQ ty IN eat
the car, and makes up her mind to kill
his majesty and free her people. Lsnnox
finds 1t out in time and drugs her cham
psgne in order to prevent her carrying out
the mad project. LsnnoI's own wife lie
arrested In Russia because abe asserts she
Is bis wife. This necessitates the discloe-
ure Of the true facts. and just as the chief
of police was exulting in his success he
finds out Helene has eloped with Sachs,
the Russian officer, and is beyond cap
ture. The matter Is hushed up aud
Helene afterwards msrries Saehs.
The play abounds In startling tab
lesux and laughable denouements.
Mrs. Minnie Seligman-Cutting's rendition
of her part is especially prsiseworthy, as
pathos, humor, hate and love were all
faithfully portrayed by her. Mr.. Robert
Cutting, jr., as Sseha played the part of q
dashing Ruesisn officer well. He is q tall,
handsome fellow and made many friends
during the evening. He is a graduate of
Harvard college, and while in the univer-
sity was q member of the dramatic club.
Mr.. William Owen as Arthur Lennon was
excellent, and managed to keep the house
laughing over the many dilemmas and
mishsps which befel him. The rest of the
cast were above the average.
Robert Gsylor, who is to appear this
evening in the lsughsble farce "Sport No
Allister, one of the AGO." Is one of the
most genuine Irish comedians on the stage
to-day. Many fine speeialties are intro
duced In the second act, which is the most
unique of the three. Manager Brady has
brought good company and he emphatic.
ally declares that this Is the strongest one
he has ever handled. Bernard Dyllyn and
the supporting company stamp the sttrso
ton as first class.
John Stetson's Globe Theater company
will again appear in 1.-THE Crust of Socie-
ty" on Friday and Saturday evening and
Saturday afternoon. The production
will be exactly the same as formerly, and
1t is safe to say that the company will
meet with as enthusiastic reception as 1t
did earlier in the season. 1t is curious
and amusing to note the wide divergence
of opinion regarding what Is called "the
great social SURPRISE" Some say that its
story should not be told upon the stage,
others that by relentlessly pursuing q class
that preys upon the upper crust of society
it teaches a wholesome lesson and points
an important moral.
