when Belasco & De Miles society comedy,
"The Wife" is to be played. Stage Director
Bellows and the members of the company
have worked hard during the past week on
this fine play, with the result that an ex-

in the character caused Messrs. Sosman,
Lands & Hunt to send her 70 this city for

to be shown after each performance.
Du Souchet has conceived another novel
situation on which to build farce in his
latest piece, "A Misft Marriage" which
comes to Englishs tonight The judge that
performs marriage ceremony by mistake
substitutes the name of the mother of the
real bride, and the would-be husband finds
himself tied to his supposed mother-in-law.

so much success already with his previous
efforts at play building that the new farce
may be expected to furnish another night
of laughter.

towards Miss Booths dressing room she
was called by the prompt boys. and, hurry
ing TO the stage to make her entrance, she
passed Miss Berg, who was standing at the
head of the stairs, and told her to send for
Angel as Miss Shannon wanted to see her
