The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1905-03-07

At the Auditorium, Burlington, this
Tuesday, evening, March Z, the attrac-
ton will be Spencer and Aborn's latest
successful production of the emotional
drama, "a Wife's Secret" a play that
combines familiar phases of domestic life
with the exciting qualities of romance
and adventure, telling a charming story
of sympathetic heart interest, of the
anguish of a young bride, wrongfully &C.
cused, driven from home, an outcast from
society, but finally triumphant against
the sneering sarcasm of her enemies and
the doubts of an incorporating huS-
band. Reports from other cities where
the attraction has appeared acclaim it one
of the best of the later successes in this
line, and its management claim for it all
the elements that go to make up a popu-
lar melodramatic offering. The cast con-
tains many weIl-known names, and the
scenic production and mechanical accom-
paniments are said to be elaborate and at
tractive Tickets on sale at Prickitt's

The return to the Garrick Theatre,
Philadelphia, of ''The Wizard of Or
was the occasion last evening of fresh
demonstration of popular favor for this
ever delightful entertainment. This
charming fairy piece is even superior to
its brother, "Babes in Toyland," seen re-
Gently at the Opera House. Its music,
with the possible exception of one or two
songs, is not so pretty as that which Victor
Herbert wrote for the ''Babes, but in the
matter of plot or story, of atmosphere
of the Jolly land of make-believe, and in
the way of picturesque incidents and
unique characters, the older production
is better than its deservedly popular com
panion piece. If any individual feature
NAV Justly be singled out as the prime hit
of the footlight story of the merry Wiz
ards realm, it is clearly the ''act'' of the
Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow. Here
is genuine novelty and at the same time
one of the most amusing creations in the
recent history of the stage. As played by
Montgomery and Stone not particle Of
the fun is lost and this duo of mirth
makers deserve all the reclame that has
been theirs.
But 1.-THE Wizard of Or" is an ole
friend; his virtues need no restating now
and there is scarcely any one who does
not fully realize his good points and
doubtless, who does not purpose visiting
him again. 1t is enough then, to say
| that the production is quite as admirable
and enjoyable in every respect as it wal
last season; the principals in the caste arr
essentially the same, including Lofts
Faust and Anna Laughlin, and anothe
fine success is to be looked for.
An attraction that promises to NEE
