torium last evening. is a pleasing
little farce comedy, which keeps the
laughter. The farce is from the pen
of Wilfred Clarke. well known
comedian. and has all the usual COM
plications for laugh producing pur-
poses, including the much deluded
jealous husband and the indispensi-
Bile wooden stage baby. OF course
there is the crusty and wealthy uncle
who must be deceived in order to
secure an Inheritance, and the bosom
friend who is the main cause of all
the trouble.
Miss Marie Lamour. who is starred
in the play. is a pretty woman and
sprightly Coincidence, but she would
do well to stop attempting to sing.
Gale Satterlee. who plays the friend
of the jealous husband. furnishes
most of the fun making and easily
leads the others in cleverness, while
