when the organ pealcd out the soft
tones of TIE wedding march, they
took their places in semi:circle on
the platform. Here they were met
by the Pastor OF the Church and in IA
few moments the bride and groom
were pronounced husband and wife.
They came up to the platform tro and
marched down one, and all We're
charged never to put asunder what
God had joined:
Il saw two clouds at moru.
Hinged by the rising sun.
And in the dawn they tIoatcd on

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-01-03

The engagement of Charles Froh-
mans company in TOO Much Johnson
ri the Metropolitan this week ought to
prove welcome attraction. 700
Much johnson" is from the pen of
VIM. Gillette. one of Americas fore
most dramatists, whose clever work in
Held by the Enemy" "Wilkinson's
Widows" and The Private Secretary
IS recognized by all classes of theater-
gOers.
Briefly. TOO Much Johnson is built
around the clever prevaricating. abill-
ties Of one Augustus Billings who i'm
pres ses his wife and mother-in-law with
the idea that he owns sugar plantation
in Cuba and before he knows it they
have him on his way to the island to
visit the place. Billings had a friend
@theIe, and he thought he could work
things safely by just visiting him, but
the acquaintance has sold his place
TO one Johnson. a burly, excitable
Cuban, who is waiting for the arrival
of the steamer and his promised bride.
The Billings family arrives, and john
son is made to believe that the wife O..
the prevaricator is his bride, whom he
has never seen. and insists on making
love to her. The real bride and her
father arrive in the midst of this, and
Billings. by some artistic lying, passes
them off on the planter as poor rela-
lions and advises him to put them to
work and he does so, much to their
disgust. There is a great deal of
amusement created by the complica-
tiOns. and Billings is kept busy lying
until he at last makes his escape with
wife and wife's mother, as does the
real bride-tO-be and a lover, leaving
Johnson very wrathy and still unmar-
ried. There Is a great deal of this
Johnson, and before the curtain finally
drops Mr.. Gillette's title becomes some
what of a boomerang, the audience
agreeing that there is really just a
little too much Johnson.
The company. Mr.. .Frohman has Sc
lected to enact TOO Much Johnson"
is one of unusual excellence, and in
