For good, wholesome, delicious COM
edy one should witness the perform
ance of Two Married Men" which
begins an engagement at the Mcken-
non on Monday night. There has been
no better attraction offered to play
goers this season than this laughter
provoking Offering from the pen of G..
K. Edeson, one of the best known and
most popular actors and authors.
The play tells the lLd dtcrouB story OF
a man who has married ~ " forgivinR
young wife and an 1nforgiving
mother in.law. In a broadway cafe
he meets a beautiful woman, an ac-
tress, who, having forgotten to bripR
her purse, is much embarrassed in pay
ing her check. The situation is re-
lieved by the offer Of the young man
to pay the check Of go cents. She
gives him her card, asks him 10 call at
her fiat in Brooklyn and her servant
will repay him. After some time he
does cali aud meets his fair charmer
as she is about to tako drive in the
park He is invited to accompany her
and accepts, the two dining together
later at the Olympia. From this time
complications arise which lead to many
extremely humorous situations. He
receives at his own home many mes
sages, all of which are signed Sixty
Cents" Finally he receives a call from
his quandom acquaintance, and in
order to get her out of the house be-
fore his wife and mother-in-law return
he agrees TO meet her again. As the
IN other-in-law enters he picks up a
glove left by his nemesis, which is
promptly discovered by the former.
To meet and discourage the atten-
tions on the part of the actress be-
comes the sole aim of the husband and
his friend, an old time bachelor ac-
quaintRnee. The latter had a matri-
monial experience which he adjusted
by making his wife an allowance. The
two married men meet in the house OF
the actress in Brooklyn, one being
there for the purpose Of putting u stop
TO the embarrassing actions OF the lat
ter, the other TO pay his wife her usual
monthly allowance. The wife and
