latest comedy by Clyde Fitch which the
actress-manager will then present in this
city for the first time, coming direct from
tas just concluded a three months run.
\'The Frisky Mrs. Johnson while freely
arranged from the French of Gayault &
Betr's Mime. FIirt" the reigning comedy
suc)cess in Paris last year. is described as
a characteristic Fitch play. marked by his
cietlerness of theatric expedient, his witty
colAquialiSms and his unconventional
treatment of emotional climaXes. As usual
he has introduced new and well-drawn
cial types, this time selecting them from
a gay coterie of the American colony in
Paris. where the three acts of his comedy
are laid
Frank Morley, a man of affairs: his wife
Grace, victim of domestic monotony; his
sister-in law. Mrs. Nellie Johnson a lively
widow from Ohio; and his younger brother
JIM a globe trotting idier, are the personal
personages of the play Frank Morley is
devotedly in love with. yet neglectful Of
Grace, who finds solace in the attentions
of certain Lord BERTHE Heathcote. much
to the disgust of her sister, who. although
she herself earned the title of The Frsky
Mrs. Johnson, because of her frivolity and
her fiirtations with the foreigners whom
she refuses to take seriously is withal a
woman of noble ideals and irreproachable
life. The plot turns on the self -sacrifice
or Mrs. Johnson in assuming the respon-
s1blllty for compromising letter. The role
of Nellie Johnson is allotted to Miss Bing-
ham. Her dramatic organization as usual
contains coterie of well and favorably
known players, among whom are Wilton
