witticism for about every line, and the
most of it is prevailed by the fetching
| ly droll and good humored personality
of this splendid comedienne. The ad-
vent Of Miss Irwin in her new play will
/ be awaited with impatience, for she al
ways manages to increase the gaiety
of the cities she favors with her comely
and fun-making presence.

and Mrs. Smith, and which have now
turned up and threatend to interrupt
the calm and contentment of their even
home life Mr.. and Mrs. Smith live In
Hackensack N. j. Mr.. Smith is a New
York business man and Madge Smith
had been studying for the law before
her marriage, and the opening of the
play finds her still looking for her first
client. Mr.. Smith had been paying at
tention years before to a Miss Clarice
Gay, who for old times sake gets Smith
to take her to New York to a matinee,
and after the play to Sherry's for lit
