When The Mummy and The Hum.

TENDER the Reformer had the following
to say about the production: The story
of the busy husband, the young wife
with a desire for companionship, the
handsome and bewitching interloper
and the inevitable result is an oft-told
tale but it is seldom told to better adj
vantage than in The Mummy and The
Humming Bird, which was presented
in the auditorium Tuesday evening
by company headed by w. A. White
car. The play is full of witty lines
and strong situations, and the COM
pany which played it here was fully
capable of making the best of both.
Mr.. Whitecar was capital as Lord
Lumley, the busy man of science de-
voted to and absorbed in his re-
searches without a thought of his wife
until this lack of affection became
painfully evident. Henry Carl Lewis
made an exceptionally strong charac-
ter Of the Italian organ grinder whose
pitiful love story was the undoing of
the cumming bird" a role very well
portrayed by Charles Kenyon. Ethel
Brooks Ferguson as Lady Lumley was
although hardly emotional
enough at times. while Frances Mark

-'mummy's" niece, filed that part sat
isfactorily In short. the play was an

and this combination furnished an
evening Of unusual enjoyment. The
