"a Blue Grass Widow" the new one
act comedy which Milton and Dolly
Mobiles presented at Keiths new thea
ire yesterday, seemed TO prove quite as
| en,.rtaining TO their admirers as any
! thing in which hey have previously
| been seen here, the brightness of the
| lines producing many laughs and the
quiet humor of the piece evidently be-
ing keenly relished. The story is that
of a confiding and too trusting wife
who, with the aid of a wOrld-wise
widow. admin sters a dose of his own
medicine to a husband ensnared in u
Irritation with the wife of cluO
friend; and il Is quite interestingly
developed and told. The cOmcdletta
is especially enjoyable because of the
opportunities IL affords 10 Dolly Mo-
bies--muCh better than she has had
in any previous sketch, and she inn
proves them TO the utmost, giving
thoroughly pleasing fmpersonation OF
the dual roles tof the charm ng widow
and West Point cadet and doing by
far the best work and making much
the strongest impression yet placed TO
her credit. Miss Eva Westcott. as the
young Wife, gave an admirable inter
pretation of the part and brought il
into prom nence that II could have
only i'm the hands of an equally capa-
BILE and intelligent ingenue. Mr.. Mo-
bles. as the frisky and resourceful
husband. displayed he same qualities
that have won recognition In the past:
and the toilettes OF the two ladies'
could but have found the highCs. fa$
